Congrats Chatterjee, Thanks for your PM.

If you haven't files your I-140 you can leave the country. I think the current processing time is about 2-3 months for an APD. But with the current priority dates for every one, it might take a little longer.

I have never tried this myself. I have read that it works, so give it a shot. http://www.immigrationportal.com/archive/index.php/t-209588.html

Waiting for a week might be a killer in this situation. Try POJ technique on Monday to speak to some officer. Don't worry now until you have to worry.

Dear ginnu and others, Ginnu, Thanks for your reply. I am currently on F1 and not on H1, sorry for the confusion. I can't get a H1 at the end of the year because I may get into industry which does not get cap excemption, so I have to go for O1. Lets say I don't apply for 485 now so that I...

Hi guys, I have an approved I-140 EB2 NIW PD March 2006. I will complete my PhD by end of this year. I am planning to apply for 485 in July. 1. If I need to move on to a research job in industry 6 months later, I understand that I have to apply for EAD along with 485, so do I have to apply it...

Guys, Did you read the last section of that bulletin: EMPLOYMENT-BASED VISA AVAILABILITY DURING THE COMING MONTHS All Employment Preference categories except for Third “Other Workers” have been made “Current” for July. This has been done in an effort to generate increased demand by...

Thanks jk for your reply

Thanks so much for your clarification.

Hi, I guess all your letters are from U.S. If you can one or two letters internationally that might make things stronger. Reviewing international journals alone might not be sufficient for some officers. Jk0274: I understand a postdoc might not be able to come to the top of his field that...

I am not in this situation at this point but for sake of clarification, if one has already applieed for EAD and AP, got both the docs, then leaves the country to go back home and returns in a couple of weeks or so...... when he comes into US, will he be able to use EAD to work? If not can he...

Try infopass or POJ method, may be it will trigger something somewhere

It would be helpful if you can post your RFE to get a better picture.

My case got accepted with 4 papers and I was only a PhD student. I did NIW on my own. Read through the forum and other places to see how to present your case in a better way. It all boils down to how you present your case.

Your old letter should be fine as far it does not say EB-2 National interest waiver very explicitly. Also, see if your old letter mentions words needed for EB-1 like outstanding and extraordinary..it might help

No. It does not matter. Make sure your other petition is very strong.

IF your priority date is current, you can. If you file them together and if your I-140 gets rejected you will be out of status

Thanks for posting

Thanks guys, It is nice to have some official from USCIS to comment on the retrogression.
