Green card for my wife
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My wife and I married long before I applied for Green Card through NIW when we were both in US a few years ago. For some personal reasons she did not apply for green card with me back then.
Now both of us are outside of US. I hold a US green card and also have a valid travel permit (2-yr white paper). We are considering moving back to US. How can she apply for US green card? How long would it take? If the process is lengthy, what is the chance that she will be granted a H1b visa if she takes a job offer?
Thanks a lot!

God is good all the time Kamrans!
Miracles do really happen! I am so happy for you! When I posted I prayed for miracles, its not only for me, but for all of us here! I know we have a merciful GOD up there and He knows the cries of our hearts! I always claim bountiful graces for all of us that was brought together in this thread, there is power in wings of prayers Kamrans!
Just hold on there, the best revelation of God`s mercy to all of us is still coming forth early of this year! At least, I feel it in my heart, hehehe!
You bet, my name here that I used is Simala, it is derived in a miraculous place in our province, and it is somehow coined with HIMALA, which means in our native language, Miracle!
This I shared with you, to give praise and thanks to GOD who really made this possible to us all! Again, kamrans, I would like to honor God in you for all the help you gave to us and may you continue my dear friend in sharing this God`s grace to others! I know you will, even if we haven`t seen you in person, we are truly one in spirit of sevice and love!
Congratulations, God bless America!

Congratulations and Admin Processing may be done quicker
Hi Kamrans,
My heartiest congratulations on clearing the interview. I went through Admin Processing myself for H1 visa at Isb. in Jan. 2007. For me it got cleared in 7 days so I wonder if the language of the interviewer matters in this case. Did she she say background check or security check or just Admin Processing?
Also in my case, the interviewer mentioned that lowest level of security check was required and it would take 3-4 weeks but it came clear withing one week.
I also got H4 for my wife and she was issued the visa without any background checks.
Good luck and hang in there, my prayers are with you.

Yes it seems so long but its over now. Thanks a lot and I wish the same for you and your family.
Good Luck.
Good Luck.
Thank you. In administrative processing they send the information to Washington DC and from there they send the information to respective agencies for clearance. There are various levels of admin processing depending on what consulate is asking them to do. If its just the basic one then it takes less time. I dont see any good information on admin processing. As soon as I get one I will post it here.
Good Luck.
Good Luck.
Can you tell what NIW is?. Since you married before your approval so I think you can be FTJ beneficiary. I dont know if applying it late will cause any issue or concern.
H1 is having no issues if she gets one. For this fiscal year the H1B quota finishes in just one day and USCIS only accepted applications for two days and now they are returning it back to the applicants. Within the first two days there are approximately 123,000 applicants and there is a quota of just 65000. So USCIS conducted the draw and picked only 65000 applications. The others are returned to the applicants/lawyers.
Bearing this situation in mind the chances of getting H1 now is less.
Good Luck.

Thanks Simala. You posts always give me support and courage. We all badly need it.
I wish that I can do something for all for this suffering and pain everyone is going through.
Coming month US senate is going to devote two full weeks for Immigration. Two weeks is a good time pass any resolution. Also Strive act is on the floor too so I see some light now.
Keep on helping each other and pray for each other and some day you will be helped and your prayers will be answered.
Good Luck.

Good to know that you are back and it was very easy for you. Its not related to language of the interviewer but its related to your name, DOB and the place you have visited earlier. For womens it wont take that much time. One of my friend stuck back home from the last 8 months just to get H1 restamp. I know some FTJ cases in which it takes from 2-4 months to get the admin processing cleared. Hopefully in my case it will be over soon.
They told my wife that in 90% cases they are doing administrative processing and it will take 2-3 months which can vary depending on the case. Did they give you yellow token or a pink token. I assume yellow means less and pink means some more checks.
Good to know that she is here with you. Have a good time and please update us if you have anymore information.

From Chay
I got a text recieved from Chay, she already have an interview appointment date this May. Her PD is April 2003, Shedule A.
Observation:
Current PD for EB3 is Aug. 1, 2003-Philippines. Now if Chay's PD is April 2003(8 months after Aug. 1, 2002-April VB) and she still got an interview date this May, this means that there are few application filed within EB3 Category in the Philippines. This means again that the PD for EB3 will move futher bcoz of lesser case filed in this category. Remember that Interview dates are assigned 2-3 months before the interview date inself, Chay got an appointment on the month were May 07 VB will take effect.
Hope my observation is correct
based on the May 07 VB: Unless there is a significant increase in Employment demand, it will be necessary to continue this rate of movement during the upcoming months. Such movement could be expanded to include other chargeability areas and preference categories.
any inputs kamrans, simala and bidakdreamer?

OK here are my two cents.
April 2003 PD will become current starting May 1st, 2007(According to May VB). If she gets the inverview date now this means that her PD is current now. US embassy will only give you the interview date if your PD is current.
It doesnt matter who gets the interview date and who didnt get it... the question is how schedule A category is getting the visa numbers. This can be answered by US consulate in manila or visa specialist in USA. Once you know this for sure then you can put more efforts to get the interview date if in case your PD is current.
If chay gets it now with April 2003 PD then there must be something we all are missing about schedule A category that we need to know.
Good Luck.

My 2-cents observation: Chay may have been all set for interview (all papers in embassy already cleared) but was caught in retrogression. Hence, when May VB came out making her PD current, she is already eligible to get an interview date even if her PD is not current now in April. Let us remember her PD will be current next month.
Judex, Im not really sure how they schedule the interview. But I guess as long as your PD is current, it wouldnt matter which month you are on (that is, if Visa Bulletin shows Aug 2003, it wouldnt matter if your PD is Apr2003 or Jul2003. It DOES NOT mean first come first served within the current cases). I don't think it is reflective of the number of EB3 category being processed in Phils or elsewhere for that matter. In simple words, when we see Jun visa bulletin with our PD current, its time to call the embassy everyday to follow up our case Now, that's what I call positive thinking, hehehe! Im not really an expert here but that's my views
Congrats, Chay. Your wait is almost over as well. Hmmm.... looks like even more good news are coming our way. Keep those prayers coming fellow co-threaders!

God is making a way for us,, its just a matter of time!
Hi there! Congrats to Chay! Lets just hold on and keep on praying! I just called visa specialist here regarding this, yeah, Schedule A has been with the eb3 category in our country, and as soon as there will be upcoming immigration law that will cater to have sched A separate again like before, we have all our visas current, meaning, all of our applications will be treated current and all of us will be given our much needed interview!
As of now, they are looking on the eb3 category and when I asked about Chay who will have her interview by May with April 2003, the visa specialist told me, this is a good sign for us! Well, she can't elaborate it for us, just letting us know, its a good indication for us! Amen!
Let us continue to pray for the miracle of GOD putting this into a law and that the hearts of those who will be deciding on this thing will open their hearts to GOD's Holy workings,, I believe they will for nothing can stop God's Holy Spirit in using instruments for the fulfillment of His Promises to us,, that is how great our GOD was, is and will always be! Praise GOD!
Judex, you have the best upcoming, your wife will be with you when your good news will come.. yehey!!
Kamrans will also have the best waiting, for the best answer from GOD is coming his way, too! Amen! I have done what I promised you Kamrans and to the rest of our co-threaders, it is the visa specialist giving us the truth in how this sched A is getting the processing now.. But in due respect, you are right, it is not who gets the interview, we are never in control over what is happening with our papers in the consulate, it is rather, for us to pray that the people inside those consulates will be inspired and encouraged to do their work in the best capacity they can give! Afterall, lets face the fact, it is in their hands to do it for us! Let us joyfully wait and support each other in this lonely waiting of ours!
Bisdakdreamer, we were both in the procession and I know GOD is listening to our prayers, let us continue to pray and pray unceasingly! All will come in GOD's time and ways!
Meanwhile, let us continue to count our blessings, we are on our way to our own resurrections here! God has made it know to me in a form of a rainbow, there is always a rainbow after the rain( troubles and pains esp waiting for our love ones to come and follow us). In the end, we will all be praising GOD for being faithful to all HIS words of promises to us...
And for all of you there reading this thread, you will be with us in thanking GOD for the answers to our prayers will be your answered prayers too! The upcoming immigration laws that will be passed is a phenomenon that will signal GOD's answer to the cries of HIS Holy people here in America! Amen!
Godbless us all! To GOD be the glory!

If you get the final answer from the visa specialist then people who have the PD current must contact the US embassy for the next step. It shouldn't take more than 3 weeks to get the interview date if you have already submitted your papers.
This trend of movement of dates should continue as per the recent VB. If you see the March VB and May VB it seems that DOS is not having any idea when the demand of visa numbers will increase from BEC cases. In March they were expecting it will materialize in spring or summer and in May they say it will not materialize anytime soon.
Expedite your processing as much as you can as there are no figures and comments from DOS that you can trust.
Good Luck.

Pink sticker for H4 without background check
They gave her pick sticker/token and was asked to collect the passport from AmEx office. She didn't have to go through background check or Admin Processing. I on the other hand had to go through Admin Processing and was just handed a standard letter explaining the Admin Processing. Please refer to my post for further details:

Yeah, I think Kamrans is correct!
Hi co-threaders! I called NVC about our concern, it seems that our visa number which was given by Manila consulate to us last January is not in their computer... I asked why this is so, when I told them about my case, that it's ftj, the rep told me that it is not in NVC but it will directly be sent from USCIS to our consulate, so kamrans is right, for those having PD current, you have to contact our consulate and ask about it from time to time.... It might be of help!
Pls update us here and post what will be the call center's response on it, thanks in advance! I will also update you, the moment I will call next week which I intend to do also even if my PD is still not current.. Will this be a wise move judex, bisdakdreamer? Hope it is... thanks Kamrans!
