Just a friendly advice.

In your case it is better to file I-485 ASAP. Otherwise every time you go to outside US you have to go stamping. Once you apply for I-485 you will have EAD and AP where you can save the H1 money which is going to be $3000 per year including your attorney fees Plus you have get stamping every time you out side US.

I would not suggest any to go for seventh year when you have approved I-140.

Tammy2,

Even though CP doesn't seems to be better option right now, but I am pretty sure I will get my GC much much quicker compare to going thorugh 485 route. As per as 3000 fee is concenred, that is not for EXTENSIONS, it is only for new petitions. Member correct me if I am wrong?

I am not expecting that I will have to get 2 or 3 extnesion before my interview is conducted. My PD is Oct'02. In this situation, I think every one would avoid going back to their HOME country also.

anyway, thanks a lot for the advice.
 
June04 and others,

Today NVC message changed for my case. Now it says "NVC is waiting for Biographic form from Lawyer, allow 6-8 weeks for the outcome of that......"

So I am just waiting to hear receiving of P3 from my attorney. :cool:

At least they are working on our cases.

While checking up whether my bill was received, I asked the NVC guys about retrogression yesterday but for the second time in 2 weeks they actually said that they have Visa numbers to take care of this.
Wonder whether the Visa bulletin might be coming into effect only in Jan - that might explain their answer :confused: Or it just means that NVC does all its stages and then the case is hung up at the consulate - something contrary to what I was seeing amongst opinions in this forum and elsewhere
 
Prosix and all,
Same message for me too. Will let you know when my lawyer receives packet 3 papers.

Sandeep_N,
I also talked to NVC last week, Operator told me that they (NVC) will process papers and send it to consulate. Consulate will schedule a interview when PD is current.

CP Gurus/Sada/Alren/Raju,
As part of my (consistent!) effort to jump the gun, I was filling some dummy forms before the actual DS-230 has come. Regarding this,
-My company had shifted me from MI to NY (with proper LC filing and all) and I spent some time in India too last year. In Column 22 (List all employment in the last ten years), do I need to list the employer again and again at different locations (MI,NY, India) or the head office will do for the entire 4-5 years? The head office has filed for the GC and in the work experience column for Labor filing (ETA 750?), they just mentioned that I have been working for the head office for all these years
-Column 25 about previous residence/visits to the U.S.. My wife has come with me for the first time in about June and has been in the U.S. till now. So do I put her current duration of stay as “MM-YYYY to present” as her residence in the U.S. or do I put “never”. I am not able to understand if this column excludes the current status because of the previous “residence” reference
-Column 10 (Permanent Address) - Any harm in putting my permanent address as N/A?
Thanks for your help!
 
1, Employment dates - I would split out the employment.
2, Wife's visit dates - Yes, MM-YYYY to present
3, Permanent Address - Why N/A? Put your India's address
 
Thanks Alren for the prompt response - appreciate that. Because of this retrogression delay, my company might move me after I fill the DS-230. Do you think that would cause problems since I have mentioned the Present Address as a different one ?
 
I don't think so, U can take an updated copy of the DS230 to the consulate when U go.

I hope your labor had ".... various unanticipated locations .... " specified based on the way your employment is.

Confused about how consulate is goign to handle bundle of applications

If NVC continue to send completed application to consulates, I am wondering what would be the basis for consulate to call for interview.

Let us assume that if PD move 4 months in a rows in a given month bulletin and there are 200 aplication moved from NVC to consulate for these PD. Is consulate going to call by PD or received date of these applications?
 
Prosix,
Did you fill DS-230 ? We signed DS -230 and send it to Lawyer , but i think they were old forms not with the expiry of 2007 :(

Should i ask my lawyer to fill new forms ?

June,

My attorney didn't recvd P3 yet :( . I will let you know the dates on my form once she receives that. But anyway cinfirm with your attorney, these stupid immigration folks won't give up any chance to messup our case.
 
My attorney also has not received packet 3 yet. But we filled up DS -230 part I , signed and send it to lawyer. Thinking that , as soon as they receive packet 3 , they can send these forms.

My concern is that, they were old forms . Is it ok ? Should i ask them to fill up in new forms ?

Prosix and all,
My attorney received packet 3 y'day. DS 230 I that we signed earlier were old forms. So, they are typing now on new forms. Looks like, we will send our packet 3 by monday-tuesday.

Please update me about your case progress too.
