Good Luck to all
 
Premium Processing Upgrade

Anyone has experience with upgrading a pending I-140 to Premium Processing? I am wondering how long it should take from when USCIS receives the I-907 (through fedex, NOT e-file) till at least an LUD change happens on the pending I-140 case?
 
advance degree I140 does not require an approved PERM. Does anyone know if the Premium Processing work for this kind of application also ? So far i heard only NIW are not part of this.

EB1-EA and NIW are not part of it yet.

It looks like, thus far, PP only concerns those applications that are not self petitioned.

Well this one isn t self petitioned. Advanced degree is in the middle between NIW and scheduled A... It requires sponsorship by a company but no PERM needed.
Ok Well i guess i ll wait until the 30 days Inquiry for the RFE expires then i ll gamble my hard earned 1000 dollars.
Thanks

Humm?? Not clear to me.

Which one are you: EB1-A (a.k.a EA), EB1-B (a.k.a OR), or EB1-C (a.k.a manager?

If you're EB2, but not NIW, then you NEED a labor certification, which can be either through an old pending application at a backlog processing center or through Perm.

Schedule A Group II. was kind of easier to go for me than NIW. And no need for certified labor cert...

(Schedule A, Group II requirements are most similar to the to the employment-based, first preference immigrant visa classification for individuals of extraordinary ability. While that classification more generally recognizes national, as well as international prices, experts, publications, etc., first preference extraordinary ability individuals are by statute supposed to be only those who have risen to the very top of their field and have sustained national or international acclaim. Schedule A, Group II benefits require only widespread acclaim and international recognition and may be easier documented.)

PP for preapproved labor?

Asking on behalf of a friend whose H-1 is about to expire.

Can we do premium processing for a preapproved labor (no 140 has been filed on the labor before). The idea is to get a 3 year extension instead of 1 year with just the 140 receipt. Is it possible?

Thanks

Options after Labor Approval

Gurus!!.. It looks like my Labor approval can come any time soon.. So just want to check few options from you as you might have already gone through this whole analysis..

Here is my personal detail
PD: Jan-31-2003
EB2/NY/RIR

I will appreciate if you could tell me what options I may have for applying I-140 and I-485, so that I could get GC fast on the basis of my personal detail..

Option-1: Becasue I-485 PD is current (Jan 2003), So can I file I-140 and I-485 in parallel ?

Option-2: Can I go for Premium I-140 processing and then file I-485?

Option-3: Or any other suggestion?


Thanks in advance

Get your I-140 filed. Because your PD is not yet current. EB2 India is current upto PD 1-1-2003 and yours is 1-31-2003. Also it may go backwards in coming months. So, better for you to file I-140 now.

GC Naseeb,
Thanks for your suggestion and I would appreciate if you could also answer few more questions as,
Should I go for Premium processing?
And usually who pays for it, should it be paid by Employer by rule?
Usually how long normal processing takes?

Thanks in advance..

It is good if employer pays for Premium Processing. You can also pay for Premium. USCIS accepts personal cheques.

Question of going for PP is a personal one. I went for it because I had slightly complex case as my company got acquired before labor approval. Ineeded to reach an end point for this acquistion suspense quickly and paid the money.

So If you are looking for a quick approval or denial and depend on it to make life decisions then go for it. If you have to pay $1000 and have a solid case and can wait for 6-9 months then don't pay this money. If company pays the it is a no brainer.

Good Luck.
