Dear poongunranar and tru!

I would like to place my case before you and seek your advice on my options!

My company Hq: CA, attorney also in CA.
My current project: under TSC jurisdiction state.
My residence address in INS records is my current TSC jurisdiction address, as i sent a AR-11 form as soon as i moved here.
LC(EB2) - subst - 140 applied in CA, should be cleared in abt a month.

Am getting ready with documentation to apply for 485.

I dont want to get strangulated with my 485 getting filed to TSC.

The options I have:

1. My very close relative is in VSC(Vermont) area (he is a GC holder, own house, will not move) and offered that i can use his address as base address for my 485.

2. My attorney offers that as there is travel indicated on my 750B, 485 can be filed in CSC, even though my residence address on 140 has been specified as coming under TSC jurisdiction. But in this case i have to go to CA for FP, EAD, etc etc.

3. File to TSC as my residence address is TSC jurisdiction (the current project that i have is sorta never ending) and wait on for 3 years, 4 years ..whatever.

4. Give my realtive's address in VSC, get the 485 filed and search very actively for positions in the VSC area (you guessed it right, i am already on this track ..but it is the economy dude!!).

Could you guys please put yourself in my shoes and advice me on this dilemma of mine.

I would erally appreciate if anybody who had this sort of dilemma before throw some light as to what route they took.

Thanks guys!

If I were you, I would file the application at TSC for the following reasons:

  1. Even, if you should get a job in the Washington DC Tech Corridor, what are the chances that your GC processing will be started ASAP?
  2. My friends under VSC have started caviling about some random processing there too. Of course, VSC is way better than TSC, currently. There is no surety that TSC's bungling syndrome will not catch VSC in the imminent future.
  3. I honestly do not know, if BCIS cross-verifies a person's domicile, by checking the given address against Driving License and other "official documented addresses" given by you. This may be sought during RFE. I am not sure about the ramifications of such a RFE.
  4. As far as a credit-report is concerned, every single address of yours for the past 5 years or so is clearly documented. Therefore, if your US postal address posits to a TSC jurisdictional address, whereas your Immigration documents posits to a VSC jurisdictional address, I again have some discomfort on the ramifications. Somebody else, may shed more light into this.
  5. I have seen some cases adjudicated within 4 months under TSC. Though that amount is paltry, I may take a calculated risk on filing with TSC, with AC-21 as a fall-back and quicker adjudication as my jack-pot, vis-a-vis foregoing my current job under TSC jurisdiction in search of a Utopian job in Utopia (VSC jurisdiction), which may well turn out to be an optimistic or Pollyannaish outcome, the fate of which only posterity would tell.
    [/list=1]
    See, if the risks involved would justify your aim to reduce the "anxiety level." TSC seems to be OK for me, under your prevailing circumstances. Again, this all varies from individual to individual, and you may feel the opposite. All the best.
 
thanks ranar!!

Thanks for your response.
But i think i will have to choose between the lesser if 2 evils :(
1. Go for a euphoric job in VSC areas (giving up my current semi-permanent project saga in TSC area) and get 485 filed.
2. File in TSC assuming that they are going to pick up mine miraculously in 4-6 months ...

which one of them would I choose ..

..this is like being in between a rock and a hard place. Looks like whatever i decide, i should be ready for a hit!

what do other think?
is there anybody out there under similar conditions?

thanks

Between Scylla and Charybdis...

Linuxrox:

Surely, you are treading between Scyllla and Charybdis or the Devil and deep-blue sea, whatever way you wanna call it. Your chances of relocating to VSC with a new job offer would be appealing, provided your new job is remunerative as the existing one and the new employer will file for 485 almost immediately. Any delay here, would not be to your advantage, because even if it is slower, making it up to the finishing line is what would ultimately count.
 
I would not assume that todays conditions will be tomorrows conditions i.e. TSC processing time poor, VSC better.
This would be akin to chasing stock market trends. Who knows what the future will bring?;)
 
linuxrox, your company HQ's in CA, labor has been certified in CA,
I-140 applied in CA.

Is it procedurally 'correct' to file your I485 anywhere but CSC ?

That was the gist of what I read from Murthy's chat...
Am I incorrect in thinking so?
 
Ranar:
I think you mis-represented a bit. I am not going to change my employer. I am going to stay with my employer only, who is based at CA. I am just going to change my client project ..right now i am in a client project under TSC area, and am contemplating changing to client project under VSC area. My employer is going to remain the same ..

now please re-treat the case!!

Thats what even i assumed, till my attorney enlightened me with the fact that she has to submit to TSC because the residence address on my 140 has already been specifeid as coming under TSC :(.
1. If you look at one of the options i specified, filing at CA was one of them, but my attorney says, it is upto the discretion of the CSC officer to transfer the case in totum to TSC, as my residence is under TSC area.
2. Now, she also says, when this happens, i loose out on my PD from CSC and the case will be treated as 'day -1' case at TSC on the day it was received .
3. which means, whenever the case gets adjudicated in CSC, that day becomes day 1 at TSC plus their ususal 999 days ...so I am looking at 700 days at CSC plus 999 days at TSC ..well, you get the drift i believe!
so my attorney themselves told me that it should be treated as the ultmiately last option.

Can any body please explain if the above interpretation was correct? or is it fallible?

Thanks
Rox
