    How long after GC?

    Hi, I got my GC about a year back. How much longer do I wait to apply for citizenship? I thought this was 4 more years but I saw someone claiming that the wait was only 2 years. Is this true? I have spent 8 years in the US before GC. I am orginally from India. Any comments? - thanks

    EB2 I140 and I485 concurrently approved

    EB2 RD 03/04 I140 approved!!!

    Hey all, I cannot believe this. It is still not sinking in but my I-140 has been approved. Concurrent filing 03/05/04 RD. 06/01/03 PD. Just got my second EAD/AP last week. Just got an email confirmation on this. Will have to wait for the official notice. Hopefully, BCIS does not sink to the...

    "Concurrent" approval

    Yeah right! Soon, it will be two years since some of us applied for 140 and NSC I am sure will "concurrently" adjudicate our 140 and 485 two years after RD. Talk about a broken system!!! I cant understand these s***heads.

If say someone's state labor has been approved but fed labor has not, is it possible to then transfer state labor to another state and proceed with the fed labor???? Seems awesome as I could technically get a state labor in alaska and transer to calif before...

    Can state labor be transfered?

    Guys, I have a quick question. It is possible to transfer the state labor to a different state???? It seems to defeat the point. I could get a state labor in north dakota / south dakota / alaska and shift to california. This seems to be ridiculous but this IS the bcis. Is this possible????

    Does a phone enquiry slow your case???

    All, I heard this from my colleague. Personally,I think this is ridiculous and stupid. But hey, for that very reason it might be BCIS procedure. Anybody know if this is the case or has anyone experienced this before. regards bbw.

    hello eb2????

    What the heck is going on with the uscis and eb2s anyway? It looks like they are going in the order of PD for eb2 (regardless of concurrent or not) but in some other arbitrary order for eb3s. What is this screwed up logic?

    Increase in non-concurrent 140 approvals

    Is it just me or does it look like the number of concurrent 140 and 485 approvals has gone down in the last 2 weeks. It now looks like more people are getting just 140 approved without corresponding 485 approval. Has the regression started kicking in already?

    Please post approvals in a new thread

    All, It is good to hear about approvals. At least it keeps hopes alive. Please try to use a new thread for a new approval. We at least know what is going on. Did anyone notice that the last 5 approvals (2 today + 3 yesterday) from rupnet have been EB2 for NSC?

    Strange processing paradigm

    Hi all, Some of us have been watching the CIS processing pattern for more than a year. Here are some observations that are odd. You may have more to add... 1. It is clear that the overall processing has slowed down from a 140 standpoint. However, it seems (to me) that 140 and 485 are getting...

    EB2s prior to Sep 15 2003

    Folks, Even if you are in early sep 03, please initiate an enquiry. One of my friends got both 140 and 485 apparently after initiating an enquiry. I would suggest any EB2s from Sep 03 to initiate enquiry.

    Some good news for a change

    Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that a colleague of mine has got his 140 and 485 approved. His was a September, 2003 EB3 application. Be patient. I think there is light at the end of the tunnel.

    Hey guys, Whats going on with the aila dates? The sep 17 update does not match these dates. Are they correctly referring to NSC? Has the NSC retracted the dates again? Regards
