"Document production or Oath Ceremony USCIS is still trying to iron out the bugs in the new website and many poeple have got this status change message even thought their PD is not current. I would not get too excited about it. Take infopass / talk to service center to clear this up. Have not...

All the foreign graduates have to pass USMLE exams and complete residency here in the us in order to get medical license for practice.

congratulations. now opne your own practice.

Your lawyer is right. It is very highly likely that your original 485 application's pictures will be used.

Congratulations. It does feel good to be GC holder. Enjoy.

I have changed J1 waiver job without any trouble in past (04/2004). Here is what I would do. Find a second job, if possible with county clinic / federal health centers (to minimize risk of abuse). Once that is fixed then talk to a reputed lawyer, prepare case for hardship / unfavourable...

Congratulations. Interestingly my case is very similar to yours. My GC was approved on 9/10/2009. I also had two I-140 and two I-485. One based on PERM and second based on NIW. Both I-140 were approved. and later both I-485 files were merged. Got approval last week from NSC. PD 09/2004...

You still need to complete 3 years in J1 waiver before you get your Green card. O1 can be extended for indefinite period of time but the three years waiver requirement stays in your way to green card. You will have to do those three years at some point of time.

At least you got some consistent answer from NSC IO. I will try to call NSC again tomorrow morning and see what they say.

PERM was applied by my 2nd employer (after I transferred my J1 waiver job). Currently I am working with 3rd employer. NIW is a self petition and NIW period started with my J1 wavier job in September 2003. Total of 5 years of service with be done at the end of august 2008.

I called NSC today morning and also talked a nice lady. She asked my receipt number and name. She also told me that my case was with an officer and I should get an answer within 60 days. I think IOs are giving this stereotype answers to everybody who calls them.

What is your priority date? Its good that all your requirements are completed now. I will be submitting documents in about 2 weeks. The problem is that I have RFE from TSC and now the case is pending at NSC.

Come to south Texas. Great area to practice and great potential for growth.

You may be right but just recently someone counted total EB appointments for the month of August at 4 us consulates in India (Mumbai Chennai Delhi and Kolkata) and the total number was somewhere around couple of hundred. And probably that will be case again for the month of September. So moving...

I am waiting too.

You don't need to go to home country for J1 stamp. As far as I know that has never been the case for J1 stamp.

Consulate at Matamoros Mexico gives back the passport with new visa stamp the same afternoon. And at most border consulate posts you will get your passport same day unless there is some major issue/problem. Go to mexico, get your visa stamped and later enjoy margarita till you come back to usa.

The first I-485 (NIW based) was filed at TSC but 5 months ago the file was transferred to NSC (don't know why). Now both the applications are pending at NSC.

I filed through NIW for phyician and in that case you are allowed to file for I-485 prior to finishing the three years of waiver. But if you are US citizen then don't worry about it. I would advise you to file for marriage based I-485 if your husband's Employment based petion is stuck in denial...

Thanks hurricanemed: I will probably call NSC and see if they will send me a new RFE for 5 years completion.
