From my previous experience, Yes! you can put same occupation as student, but I strongly suggest you put in like "researcher" or "scientist" if you obtained your Ph.D. already at that time. I didn't submit any paystub for my application since I had none at that time. Best wishes!

Thanks! I wish your the best luck. I have a lawyer which I signed the contract with him in late 2002. I stopped processing NIW since my wife's company was doing the same thing. But later I decided to resume it in late 2004, and finallized all doc's in early 2005. I am from China so I used...

Hi, For NIW, you don't need to have an employer (no job requirement). But your situation is really different with most others. I definitely would stay in the same field to the time when I could apply 485, if I were you. Maybe a post-doc in your university is a good choice until you file...

My experience Hi, I have done my NIW and 485 in August 2005. From my experience, what field and lab/university/company are NOT so important (of course, I believe top universities/institutes will be viewed highly trustworthy). What is looked by CIS is your qualification. Even if you are...

Best wishes! I got my I-485 approved after about two months of I-140 approval (NIW in VSC). In my case, my plastic GC card was sent to me at the third day of I-485 approval. There is no any other activities required. By the way, what is I-551? Just for my curiosity: how can you know your...

Actually, it is not true to say "It seems Vermont center stopped doing NIW cases after early June RD". If you read more about the threads, there are many approvals when RD were in Sept. 2005. You may call USCIS and inquire your status. Good luck!

According to Thomas Fan's web news, the FY2006 Employment-based visa number is increased from 140,000 to 248,000 (which includes 7000 from family-based and 101,000 extra from FY1999-2004). Here is the link if you can read Chinese...

I also heard that only ONE 485 could be filed for one person, no matter how many 140's the one is filing/has filed.

If the attorney you mentioned is Thomas Fan, I had another story. My NIW was contracted with his firm. I finally submitted 140 and 485 concurrently at the end of January 2005 and the receipts were dated around Feb. 7, 2005. My 140 was approved on June 13, and 485 approved on Aug. 29. Today I...

Thanks, nikkasingh. Are you in the VSC area? I am in Boston. Different SC has different time frame. I remembered that I got the FP notice in April and the FP date is May 15. There was no LUD change after FP until my 140 was approved. No LUD change any more after the one saying my FP...

Hi, I can't remember exactly the days but I just wanted to give you some of my dates in my memory: I filed 140, 485, EAD and AP applications on Feb. 7, 2005, EAD and AP were approved and received on March 30, 2005. 140 approval on June 13, and 485 approval on Aug. 29 :) Best wishes...
