If a GC (2.5 years) married an F1 (already in US), what is the best way to deal with immigration status? I can think of two possibilities: 1) The F1 spouse keeps her F1 status for another 2.5 years. By then, the citizenship can be obtained by the GC. After that, the F1 spouse can be adjust to...

There have been quite a few discussions regarding various cases when LPRs marrying non-LPRs, given the fact that the PD waiting list for simple petition cases is simplying too painfully long. There are many possible variations, where the rules are not necessarily listed clearly, including if...

If a LPR move to a U.S. Territory (such as Puerto Rico), is it considered by USCIS as satisfying the resident status requirements?

I'm still not convinced how CIS track departure date Before PR, people has to use I-94 on both entry and departure. It's was how CIS track the dates. But for PR, even CIS has access to airline record, but I don't think you have to provide greencard number to airline for your departure...

In one month in practice, and upto 12 months according to the rule

Received the email notice several minutes ago that my I-485 has been approved. CSC EB1-OR I140/I485/AP/EAD: concurrent Oct. 5, 2004 FP, AP and EAD all done in Nov/Dec 2004 I140: LUD 04/05/2005 I485: LUD 01/13/2005, Approved on April 20, 2004, no RFE Brief credential: Electrical...

Just log that recipt number to USCIS's tracking website Just log that recipt number to USCIS's tracking website, if the recieving date matches your I485's receiving date, then there is little chance the # is wrong.

Any guess of why it's approved faster then the processing date online Hi, flychicken, The processing date on USCIS website for TSC's NIW is only July 07, 2004. Any guess what the trick that your case was approved ahead of the schedule? Any guess maybe helpful.

Where is this number connected to? Where is this number connected to? And, how is it functioning differently from the 800 number?

Is the "emergency line" = the 800 number list on USCIS? Is the "emergency line" the same as the 800 number list on USCIS's website https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=California ?

You are posting in wrong group 1.) If you feel your salary is signifcantly higher than the market, then attaching W2 etc won't hurt you. Otherwise, leave it out, because CIS only need to verify your employer's ability to pay, not your ability to receive pay. By the way, I guess most probably...

what may be the trick of getting it approved right away? The "published" processing date for VSC's NIW is still Feb 2004. mqj73 any guess why your case was approved so quick? Any guess may be helpful. Thanks.

That's a very insightful argument.

I don't think name check has anything to do with I-140 The fact that your I-140 is also pending can not be "explained" by name check. Name check should only influence I-485.

there is a premium option FYI, there is a premium option for O1 in CIS. Cost extra $1K, but warrant decision in two-weeks. Msskanth, I think you can use this option, if H1B quota does not fit your schedule in the end.

You may try to apply for a O1 visa, instead of waiting for H1B quota You may try to apply for a O1 visa, instead of waiting for H1B quota

Also depeding on which service center you will submit to I suggest you also check the processing dates of the CIS service center you are going to summit the petition to. Certain service center has large variations in the processing speeds between EB1-OR and EB2-NIW.
