Approved and Stamped For those of you who would read this thread, my wife and I got our passports stamped in Philly and our 5-year journey has finally come to an end. It has been over two years since our file was transferred from VSC to Philly. Now we are waiting for the plastic card to...

So Quiet Here... This forum has been awful quiet. Has everyone got approved already?

which state are you in?

To Fromhyd and Bobbyren Fromhyd - It is frustrating and aggravating that after such a long wait the tardiness of BCIS is still causing delays at our cost. keep your spirit up and good luck to you. Please keep us updated if anything new. Bobbyren - Yes I used to post very often last year...

Fromhyd - Are you approved yet? Please tell us if you have received an approval letter. It is really surprising that they hold off cases even after the PD turns current.

It is more than frustrating. It is aggravating to many of us who filed I-485 three years ago, and still waiting infinitely because of a series of mishaps --transferring to local offices, three-year retrogression for EB3, unavailable visa numbers, and now, a five year retrogression for EB1 - 3...

I think PGPY was joking and using an analogy, bluesong.

I just found your posting about your PD, which is Dec 2001. With that in mind, it is likely your case will be approved, if everything else is okay. Good luck!

Correct. If you are EB3, your case won't be approved and your passport won't be stamped until visa numbers become available again. The 28.6% quota for EB3 in FY2005 has been reached. Starting from Oct05, visa numbers will be available using FY06 quota. However, that does not necessarily...

EB3 applicants read on -- Very Important Bad news, EB3 friends. Current visa bulleting indicates that EB3 has reached the annual limit and there will be no visa number available for EB3 until Oct05. This will affect ALL EB3 applicants, not only Indian/Chinese/PHL. The fact is that they are...

To Boddam I understand you can't wait for the PD to move forward, like all other EB3 applicants including myself. There are numerous sources of information on recent retrogression -- official news or discussion forums. Like I said about a month ago when you posted the same note, your ETA...

The wait is still not over after 4 years I visited Philly for interview at the end of April. The interview itself was fairly simple and straightforward, just like others described. Since my attorney chose to file my case as EB3 for whatever reasons, I need to suffer even longer to wait for...

Lease agreement, or if you own, deed and mortgage statement(s) would be sufficient to prove your residency. I don't think a diploma is critical and whether bringing it along is totally up to your own discretion.

Visa Bulletin Website For EB3 folks like me interested in learning more about the current status of retrogression: http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1360.html Let's hope for the best.

EB3 retrogression Hey Boddam and other EB3 fellows, I did some research and found the following: Calendar Priority Date -------------------------- Jan05 Jan01, 2002 Feb05 Jan01, 2002 Mar05 Mar01, 2002 Apr05 Apr01, 2002 Unfortunate and painful...

I got my interview letter as well! Scheduled in late April. the interview officer will be "B". If anyone would share your experiences with the particular officer, I will be most grateful. You will hear about my interview experience as soon as it is done... good luck all.

Great news and good luck. Hope that we all get an interview letter soon... My case was transferred in mid November and still no updates... :mad:

shabbu77, Great news and good luck!!! It seems that the Philly Office is moving into November 04 for EB cases. I think jsmith888666 should be the next.

Congrats! Good news, Yuxin. Hope everything goes well for your interview. It has been a very long wait for all of us, especially for folks like Yuxin and myself filing in 2002.... Like Namesis said, things seem to be moving in Philly, so let's keep our hopes alive.

Boddam and Owen, Congrats to you! Had you guys both received a receipt notice from the Philadelphia Office before? Does it mean you have to get a receipt notice before you can get an interview letter?
