Diafa,
Hello and thank you for your comments.
I absolutely agree with you, 2009 was a little bit crazy for me. I thought I missed the application date (April 1st) when I was offered the H1B from my current employer. It was already May 25th and the quota wasn't reached yet.
I immediately spoke to a lawyer, who happened to be an H1-B expert. He created a "suitable" position for me in the company as my degree did not actually match the area I was going to work on. So he kinda "pushed" it.
I had nothing ready, no diploma evaluation, no translations... I translated everything myself in one night and my lawyer notarized them.
We sent "my" translations of the transcript and the diploma. No evaluation, because there was no time to send it somewhere to be evaluated. My lawyer suggested that we sent whatever we have to fall into the quota and receive a case number before it was reached. If DHS thinks there's something wrong, they will send an RFE (request for evidence) letter, asking specific documents.
All the paperwork process took 2 days and my folder was express-mailed to the processing center on May 27th.
In my case, we were expecting the RFE letter for the diploma evaluation. I had already sent the diploma to an evaluation company. In the meantime, I kept checking the website with my case number, it always showed "processing". And that morning, when i checked it, it said "APPROVED" without RFE or anything. I went crazy.
So, to summarize, 2009 was a little bit "extreme" for me.
Also, this year my GF filled out my application. Every year, I do it myself and I don't win. So I made her sit in front of the computer, told her what to do (click here, select that picture, hit upload, hit next, write my name, date of birth etc). I didn't touch neither the keyboard nor the mouse. She filled it up, submitted it and took a screenshot with the confirmation number. I told her to save it in my documents, one copy in the gmail draft folder (just in case the HDD crashes or someone breaks into the house and steals the computer, it's still on the internet). She also has it in her cell phone as a contact. So, we won't lose that number no matter what.
I didn't look at the number and will not until July 1st.
How about my spell?
