My I-485 info:
WAC-01-266-xxxxx (San Jose EB2)
RD: 08/02/2001
ND: 08/27/2001
FP received: 02/02/2002
scheduled: 03/15/2002
done: 02/09/2002
AVM changed to \'Pending Review\' on 2/11/2002
Received Approval letter at home on 02/23/2002
AVM changed to \'..Approved on 02/20/202..\'
Hang in there guys. Your turn will come soon!!!!
I am not on Ciba or PCee\'s list. But I would like to
throw my 2 cents base on some info from my friends:
1) Two of my friends (May cases, I don\'t have their info)
got approved this month.
2) One of them told me the day he went to stamp, the
San Jose office had very few people. He was supprised
how come so few people went that day.
3) One other friend (Appril case) got approved and stamped
three months back. He was laidoff but passed 180 days.
Luckly he did not get the inverview.
4) One other friend in Cisco has got his labor, but was
rejected when applied for the I-140. The reason was \'Cisco
has laid off so many people, there is no reason to hire foreigners\'.
This might be the reason why Cisco stopped applying GC for people now.
5) Fewer new grads are able to get offers now, that means fewer cases
go into INS.
6) Fewer companies are willing to hire H1 now, that also means fewer
cases go into INS.
7) INS has increased the fee lately, that means they shall show us
some better performance.
Given all these, I think they will start approving cases within 6 month.
At last, hope all you guys good luck!
