    I-485 Application returned by TSC!

    USCIS Processing Time Update

    This is still un noticed on this portal. http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/ReceiptingTimes06Jul07.pdf . Looks like Texas AOS filers should expect notices by July 20th :p , others might have to wait until end of month. Good step to be transparent I guess!!

    Does PD carry forward with new LC?

    Folks - my previous LS app (PD July 2001) got caught up along with the Apr 2001 cases in state X. My company is filing a new RIR EB3 LC from state Y now (I work from state Y now). For some reason, my lawyer thinks that my priority date would still be July 2001 for my new LC case from state Y...

    Folks - which Labor Certification document does the wage code (occupation code per the US Dept of Labor) go into? I certainly can not find it in ETA750A. I am curious about what code I am put under, just don't know how to find it (other than pinging HR or the lawyers).

    Folks - Is there a limit on how the companies can justify layoffs in one group and hiring (LC) in another? My company is going thru layoffs in some other groups, and that seems to be making the HR nervous. They are coming to a conclusion that RIR is not possible in this situation. I would...
