I think your labor is still with state labor.

Depending RIR or non-RIR its going to take more than 2 years for RIR to get your Labor and more than 3 years in case of non-RIR case. so you expect your Labor any where between May 2005 and May 2006.

If its at DOL reduce those time frames by half.

If by some miracle, if the the processing speeds up you may get in next year.

good luck,
 
By present times, anything over 2 years can be expected. With INS/DOL, one lesson you need to learn early is that you need to give them time . The sooner you get it, less frustrated you will be.
 
Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your encouraging responses :)- Just kidding
Hey but as per LC processing times displayed ( State for CA - 11/2002 & Federal - 11/2002 ( Iam into RIR category ) )
Don't you guys think that If my LC was filed in May-03 ,it should get cleared somewhere around May-04 ??

I know , Iam over optimistic here, but seriously Would like to know your thoughts

Thanks

Hi Sandeep

I think you probably need to do some research here what those dates mean,

CA State 11/2002
This means that this is what they are currently processing.

Federal 11/2002
Once you clear the state then Federal Date means the date the application was moved from State to Federal.


So for example lets say someone had file in 11/2002. Then it means that they are processing this for the state currently for this applicant.
For the sake of simplicity lets say he clears state today then federal receive date on his application will be 11/2003 or more precise( Nov 14 2003). So he/she will need to wait atleast another year before they process his/her application.

I also went thru another 4 months in a stage where it was approved by the state dept and forwarded to the regional center and it took 4 months to enter the regional departments files..thats again lost time
 
Thanks again

Hi ,

I mean tentative for me getting the actual Green card

Pls give me your honest opinion

Thanks

No point trying to figure out the ways of DOL/INS.My advise? Sit back and enjoy life - if you start counting days to a potential approval date, one of these days, you will register here again with a nick like mine and screw up life for yourself!
 
Thanks bud

Hi,

As you suggested, I will not think .Let it take its own time.Enjoy life.Thats the true mantra of life

Thanks
