Just Venting!!!
Here are my specs
I-140 - RD: 3/11/03, AD: Still Waiting!
I-485 - RD: 3/11/03, FingerPrint 5/03/03
EB-2 Concurent (NIW) - Employer Sponsored
USCIS Web Site (Under my user profile) under the "last update" column for both says 5/29/03.
My employer open an enquiry June 8, 04 and still no response (But from what you guys are saying, if I get one (response) I should expect a copy of the web page)!
My attorney (who is very friendly... and actually replies within 15 minutes of any emails) said that it would appear that the new concurent adjucation are slowing things down. He is trying to find out through some "other" channels ... we'll see?
On one side we have the USCIS saying that they are going to reduce the backlog
on I-140 to 8 months by the end of 2004, 7 months 2005 and 6 FY2006. On the other hand we hear people saying that the concurent filling adjucation is slowing things down! HAAAAAA
In that process I have to wait as long as possible to apply for an extension on my H1B... just in case that they would process it before November 04.
June 9, 2004 the processing time changed from 350-400 to 400-450 days (Pretty funny
because 450 days was already passed on June 9, 04 (Actually 456 Days.. now 478 on 7/1/04))
So, I do I feel? Fustrated... and more!
But in the end, I still think this is by FAR the best country in the WORLD (and people) and will go throught all the pain to make it happen.
GO USA!
Feels GOOD to vent a little bit!
Good luck to everyone!
