    Anybody approved with < 180 days

    there is nothing like "file AC21". There are no forms to fill. On my lawyer's advise, I waited for a RFE to be generated. In the reply to the RFE my lawyer included EVL from my current employer and explained why I was eligible for AC21 in a cover letter. That's all.

    best Ac21 lawyers

    I had Murthy in the last stage - mine was a difficult case and many lawyers were certain that I do not qualify for AC21. I am satisfied with the level of service there so I would recommend them. I cannot speak for others but I would like you to keep an open mind and talk to other prominent...

    Salary and AC21

    I think all that matters is whether your salary falls within the range of salaries (check O*NET) offered for your position in your location. If you are in the bottom or top 10 percentile then you risk of interview increases, that's all.

    Just a thought - To be taken seriously by NY Times - just point out that the Clinton administration had made a lot of progress (PERM, AC21, etc.) towards reducing the backlogs without jeopardizing national security.
