    Givng up US GC and going to Canada

    We are in the same boat. It is hard to not consider Canada as an option when immigration standouts/retrogressions are so frequent here. Especially now that the canadian dollar is equal to us dollar, it is becoming increasingly lucrative. Regarding jobs, I talked to a couple of my...

    Urgent Help on RFE for I-485

    Interesting situation. I am sure that this might be a clerical error on their part. If you have the receipt of the H4 extension, you should be clear. They should have awarded the extension from the date of previous expiry. I wonder why you did not sort out this discrepancy earlier with them...

    Kahan Gaye Woh Log !!

    This is a poem in hindi "GC milne tak jee bhar ke pilade saaki... Bolne ko kuch nahi reh gaya baaki.. " A crude translation goes like this ... Till I get the gc(green card), make me drink to my heart's fill, as there is not much to say anyway until Hai_yeh_gc, forgive me if it was not...

    I-485 Approved on 09/17/07

    Congratulations! My PD is close to yours. I had a couple of luds on 9/12 and 9/13 as well. I wish they repeat the feat and send us approvals as well. Looks like that between lud changes and approval mail, there is a good 10 day difference. Hopefully they will do something in another 10...

    Whohoooooo, finally I can breath again.

    katrina, you did not reply to my question. it looks like you substituted an old 2002 labor in 2006 and you received the approval based on that. is that correct? also, do you belong to one of the countries which have been retrogressed? thanks.

    Approved 4th Sept, 2007

    Thanks for replying to my questions. I think you are right. If we follow up regularly, something will trigger them into looking into our cases and if everything is clear in a case, it will definitely start them into processing our cases. Earlier I was under the opinion that they will do...

    LUD Change today today (09/13/07)

    I had an lud change today as well. PS: mv1211 you started another thread "lud today". It would make sense to continue our posts there from tracking purposes. There is no point in starting a thread every day to track lud changes.

    Hey uscis - if u can't approve, could you at least deny

    It is very true. I would agree with the previous comment #11 - we all are in here together for the common goal - gc. Now how one goes about during the process of getting it, is totally based on the individual's temperament and personal situations. Even though everyone tries to be as calm and...

    Approved 4th Sept, 2007

    Congratulations! I am curious and I might be opening up speculations here by posting this question. Do you think that your case got approved because you changed your category to EB2 from EB3? OR Your case got approved under EB3 as they opened it and processed it under due course?

    Whohoooooo, finally I can breath again.

    Congratulations! Enjoy your freedom! Looking at your signature, I am a bit confused. So, your LC took around 5 years to complete? That is awfult lot of time. OR did you file a substitution and the original LC had a PD of 2002 ?

    Who can predict my approval ?

    Predicting your approval vvvunlucky, In line with the topic of this thread, I am taking a stab at the prediction. Looking at the movement in your case, and comparing with the pattern of others who have been getting approvals, you should see some positive movement in sep last week. Having...

    Who can predict my approval ?

    19 years is indeed tough, man! WOW! All I can say is, that you are already an embodiment of patience! You don't need any more patience than you already have! All of us gc seekers have an interesting situation though! Many of us here struggle impatiently for the first 10 years or so. But...

    Almost 9 years later... Approved :)

    Congratulations rexxx! I have to admit though that there is no certain pattern in the cases that got approvals. I mean there are still cases which have older PD as pending. There are some cases with newer PD approved. So, I am not sure what to infer out of the current approval pattern...

    Hi, Congratulations on coming out of the rat race successfully! I have a question. Is the pd from the labor that was filed for you? OR Was it from a substitution of labor? The reason for my question is that I am trying to assess the trend. Are they considering PD as the date by...

    EAD expiring 6/1, filing for renewal on 5/9

    I am not absolutely sure about the scholarship disbursements. You might want to check with the admissions department about the actual visa requirements to obtain these funds. But I would tend to believe that these funds are not the same as employment salaries. So, it should be fine. But to...

    EAD expiring 6/1, filing for renewal on 5/9

    EAD (employment authorization document) is an eligibility document for work only. It is not am immigration status as such. Your immigration status, for example, could be H1B, permanent resident (if you have gc) or in between (AOS). Since you have a valid pending I485, your status is legal and...

    Any recent EAD from TSC?

    It all depends on your HR. (assuming that you don't have h1-b or other qualifying documents in the i-9 form) Legally if they have to check your status as per i-9, it has to be the ead card physically. So, assuming that they had asked you to produce a proof of eligibility, you cannot work as...
