i was browsing thru' the 7th year extension forums and thought i would add more details.. (all dates approx... +/- 10 days)
I landed in US on Feb 25, 1998.
I was out of US from October 25 1999 - November 15 1999.
I transferred my Visa on April 10, 2000 (approval for 2 years)
I extended my Visa on March 10, 2002 (Application Pending)
RFE for pay stubs on December 20, 2003 (employer did not inform me)
I moved back to India on Jan 15, 2004
After reading the information on the 7th year extension forum, i realized that I could have legally stayed back till my request for extension was either approved or denied.
Now I have applied in the 2007 non-masters quota. Based on the pending petition, will my application be cap-subject?
I did not start the GC process during the above period at all.
