My bad experience with NSC so far, for your fun!

[shokaido]

It seems that I myself have been in deep s**t with NSC since I started the GC process.

Here is the explaination:

1. Both my I-140s took more than 15 months to clear;
2. My EAD took more than 4 months to clear;
3. My I-485 is pending forever and now in Name Check trap.

Anyone else had worse experience, please post.

Here is my story:

NIW 140/485 on 5/2004, #1 RFE for 140 responsed on 8/2005, then I got #2 RFE 6 months after submitting #1 RFE, responsed on 2/2006, 140 AD on 3/2006. Then retrogression, then visa current and then find out 485 name check pending. See my luck worse or same as yours

Sorry to hear about the pending name stuck! SOmetimes contacting local congressmen would help.

I was stuck with my 140 EB1 for long time and it took 2 years to get the approval. But luckily 485 went bit faster (7-8 months).

Good luck with the speedy approval.

bhakum, Thanks for information.

Folks with I-140 filed at NSC in 2003 and early 2004 suffered real long wait for approvals. Both you and me are one of the victims.

I'll try to contact the senators/congressmen to push my case to go through.

I am facing the same headache. I am the EB2 case at NSC, with PD 3/2002, 485 RD 1/2004. A name check was requested on 1/29/2004 and still pending. I don't know what they are doing!!!

One more joke

I applied for my 4th EAD and NSC approved it in 10 days. Not sure to be happy or cry since I applied approximately 3-1/2 months before expriation date of current EAD. It means the next EAD I have to apply again in 9 months.

EAD Blues

To be safe, I apply for EAD renewal 100 days before expiry. I lose couple of months every time.
