Actually, it\'s Professor Bongo now ...
My case in entirety took just over 12 months (12/26/00 I140 RD to
01/23/02 I485 AD). Though I did
not have to go for LC, I did however, spend 4 months
collecting letters of support, copying my scientific
papers, and finding citations to my papers etc.
I use to work in high tech in the valley,
and have heard of people getting approval in 6 months
(especially people filing for internation mangerial transfers,
LC-1). People get lucky and catch an INS wave (of processing)
or two.
A vast amount of individuals just don\'t bother to track
their approvals, so our experience is only a small sample
of all possible approvals. It would be interesting to
calculate the average time to get a green card for
those who participate in this forum and those that
do not. The poster alludes to people who don\'t worry and
are happy getting approved quicker, we could verify
this hypothesis from these averages !!!
