Hi: Thanks for responding. I am glad to hear I am not alone in this long processing wait time. I am still worried though. Can you share some details of your situation with me? 1) Did you get a request for evidence and if so what did they ask for? 2) What type of work do you do...

--I have lost confidence in my attorney and, for now at least, am doing this on my own. Former attorney never properly advised me of options (like I could have had this processed instantly at a port of entry). I also found out he submitted most of our petitions without proper evidence which...

Got original L1A for 1 year which expired end of Jan 2003. Applied for renewal (RD Jan 21 2003) to CSC. Still not processed. Notice of action says processing time is 30-60 days. CSC processing time report says they are currently processing RD of 07/09/03. Yet when I call BCIS for...

My employment visa is L-1a. They requested just about every possible bit of evidence and still no resonse since they rec'd RFE on 06/17/2003. I am curious to know how it works at the INS once the evidence is rec'd. I hope we don't end up at the end of the queue again?!? I have asked...

I'd like to know this too! I'd like take some courses too - anyone with any experiences doing this with L-1 visa? Also, heard I will have to get all my out-of-US education evaluated if I want to use any as pre-reqs. Seems very costly. Any recommendations on how to do this inexpensively or...

ganesanc: Just saw your post - I am in almost same situation. My I-140 RD=10/25/2002, ND=10/28/2002 WAC-03-021-xxxxx like your own! We did get RFE dated 03/31/2003 and responsed RD=06/17/2003. It's been 6 weeks since they rec'd evidence and no word yet. I called BCIS Cust Svc Ctr 3...

But what can we do about long processing times? lisansw, thanks for sharing your experience. What sort of evidence did they ask you for? Is your i-140 employment based and if so what visa type? Did you concurrently file I-485? I am trying to see if there are any similar patterns here...

worried about processing times too! Related question -- Hoping someone can advise... Filed 1-140 in Oct 2002 in C category with CSC: BCIS RD=10/22/2002 My (former) Lawyer got RFE on 03/31/2003 Lawyer screwed up, had to scramble at the last minute and did not file evidence until...

malpractice - a good lawyer? Can anyine recommend a good lawyer to consult with re: potential malpractice issues with my former immigration lawyer? I'm in Phoenix, AZ area and he is in LA, CA area so I don't know which state I need to find a lawyer in. I guess if anyone can suggest one in...

485 vs CP? Opinions? Experiences? Raju: I have an appt with a new lawyer next week and will get their opinion but will do more research beforehand. I still have a lot of 'mess' to clean up from my previous lawyer which takes precedence. I also have no I-140 approval yet and RD was...

Re: don't get frustrated Thanks indianexpert. I'm not sure what you mean by: "although it has the point to prove that the beneficary will perform in executive or managerial duty whcih is very big loophole wherby they can deny the case...." What is the loophole? Also: "A suggestion...

{You should give this aspect a serious throught. If you are in the cp line and you loose(God forbid!) your job then your GC process comes back to square one. In 485 process once you get your EAD and complete the 180 day rule, you would be safe as long as you can find a similar job with...

I have my own company and am 'self sponsoring' for L-visa. I was sent extensive RFE for L-1 renewal. I have chosen to respond myself as I have lost confidence in my lawyer. In reading the BCIS site, I noted: "NOTE: IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT THE LETTER REQUESTING EVIDENCE BE...

Thanks for your response Raju. You suggested: ------------------------------ Again the following are the main points you should research on: 1) Whether the consulates in Canada accept AC 140 cases? 2) If so will they accept with just the proof of filing of the I-824 (Note: If they...

I'm researching CP vs i-485 processing. I've checked the threads and I can't figure out some stuff. Maybe someone out there can help me... My details: I-140 filed - RD 10/25/2002 ND 10/28/2002 RFE RD 07/17/2003 Still waiting on approval - I understand processing for this case is...

I found out my lawyer has screwed up several issues on us which I am trying to sort out. We are in the middle of renewing our L visas (RD Jan 03) and I-140 (RD Oct 02). We've been RFE'd on every petition and everything is taking longer than it should so we are STILL waiting for these...

spicycrab: I am distressed to hear I am not alone in my predicament. I did check out the aila web site as you suggested but could find no info that would help me, the consumer. Perhaps you have more experience and can point me in the right direction. I understand from my own situation...

Kudos to the organizers of this board. I can't tell you how much this has helped me. I hope my problem is rare but someone can give me advice anyway. I became very suspicious of my lawyer's competence due to several recent events. They included him repeatedly assuring me that he had...

I have been trying to get the goods on what the risks of concurrent processing are. Our i-140 was filed last Nov (but not the i-485). I too am very frustrated by the uncertainty and can't figure out why our lawyer did not file concurrently. What have you found the risks are with...

an_anonymous: Thanks for your response. We are in AZ so would have to file through CA office. What is an i-EAD? Also, I got the impression we could file EAD paperwork through local districk office as well? Is this true and would you know the pros/cons? Thanks!
