I just got a job that will start in a few months. I have used up my OPT, and need to/want to apply for H1-B. 1. Has the quota for 2008 been used up? If so, what are my options at this point? 2. Should I consider a J-1 option? If I should, then what does my employer have to do to get me a...

First of all, THANK YOU TO THE MODERATORS AND ALL for this site. It took me years to get my GC, and you were all my support system here. THANK YOU. NOW MY QUESTION: I got my GC a year ago--through my employer. Now I am a professor whose one year sabbatical has been approved, starting in...

Dear friends, THANK YOU for this wonderful site--which kept me sane during the four years I struggled in I-485 hell. Now, it has been a year since I got my green card. I have read the USCIS pages on residency requirements, but maybe I am dumb, because I am confused. If you will be patient with...

Friends: I got my green card about 4 months ago--and now I hear that I needed to get my passport stamped. Nowhere on the approval form was there any indication of my passport needing to be stamped. Can someone tell me what I need to do. I intend to travel after 7 years of domestic stay, and I...

Friends: After being stuck in "Name Check" hell for years, I finally got my name check cleared last week, and this morning got an email from USCIS informing me that my application has been approved. My information: EB1 I-485 ND March 2003 First fingerprinting: April 2003 2nd...

Friends: I am an EB-1 from a non-retrogessed country. My ND is March 2003. Until last week, I have had NO INFORMATION on my case. I did my first set of biometrics in April 2003 and my second set in November 2004. I have had a congressman's and a senator's aides do inquiries on my behalf since...

I have noticed that a lot of people on this site are EB3s. I am an EB1. I am curious to know if EB1s processing dates are different from those with EB3? Also, I applied for an EAD in December because a lawyer told me that I needed it to leave the country on AP because I don't have a HIB visa...

I am just sick of the BS I am getting from USCIS. My application has been pending for 27 months now, and I cannot even get a response from anyone. This while the borders are open to thousands of illegal immigrants because they pick the onions in the gruelling heat (I am in an area where there...

Hi All: I just sent a letter (through their FEEDBACK OPTION) to ACLU explaining how the USCIS backlog (more like inefficiency) is causing severe financial, emotional, and professional distress. I explained that many are waiting to hear about their cases for more than 24 months, and that doesn't...

Hi: I want to try and make sense of who is getting approved and in what time frame. It appears that people are getting approvals with RD and NDs after mine. I want to see what the pattern is. If you have not had your i-485 approved yet, if you feel comfortable, please send me your: Category...

Hi: I am an EB1, with a RD for I-485 of March 7, 2003. My FP1 was April 22, 2003 and my FP2 was Nov 24, 2004. From the forum here, it appears that people with comparable timelines as I do have been getting their I-485s approved. Some with later dates are getting approval. i have sent a...

1. My RD for I-485 is March 2003, from the Nebraska center I live in Idaho). On the USCIS website, there has been no change in the processing date (May 31, 2002 has been listed for ever now for cases being processed). I would like to know if anyone has gotten their I-485 approved and what the...
