I believe only the lottery can rival the level of randomness by which letters are being mailed out.

There are other people in your date range that have not received the 45-day letter yet.

Hang in there.

Hi Guys
Its time to start your day with a nice cup of tea and a motivating thought from me .......................this is for all my friends who feel stuck up in this country.
Think highly
You are only as skilled as you think you are. Yet you can always change your thoughts.

You'll be precisely as successful as you think you'll be. And you can always change your thoughts.

Your thoughts are yours to direct and control. And those thoughts will in turn direct and determine the reality of your life. For the results you attain depend on your actions. And your actions flow directly from your thoughts.

If your life is not what you'd like for it to be, then raise the level of your thinking. It takes no physical effort from you, just a willingness to think more highly of yourself and of what you can do.

Your thoughts alone will not make anything happen, and yet they will precisely determine what you make to happen. Think highly of your best possibilities, and you'll bring those possibilities to life.

Best Regards


Saburi
 
Can someone please clarify this for me?

"The Yates Memorandum on the EB-2 Labor Certification Applications which we reported day before yesterday, 05/24/2005, just stated that a bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive experience in the labor certificaiton application would qualify for the EB-2 I-140 petition, but did not elaborate the definition of "bachelor's degree.""

What is this EB-2? Does this let you bypass the labor (extraordinary abilities)?
I do have a us BS and 5 years of experience?

Can someone shed some light on this? Justwatching?
 
Source Of Joy

undefinedundefinedHI Guys
Source of joy
This is a beautiful day, filled with tremendous positive possibilities. And you can make it even better.

Be a source of joy today, and you can make the world a better place. Be a source of joy today, and experience how great it feels.

Take those things that normally would annoy you, and simply laugh them off. Then overwhelm them with your own joyful smile, kind words and thoughtful actions.

Do something helpful just because it feels so good and so right. Put a smile on your face, in your voice and in your thoughts, and watch as your joyful expression spreads far beyond you.

Whatever you may be doing, make the decision to truly and fully enjoy it. You'll be amazed at how quickly others will pick up on your joy and return it to you in even greater measure.

Fill your heart with joy by filling the world with joy. Be a source of joy today, and experience life at its best.

EB-2 still requires a labor certification. EB-2 is a category for advanced degrees or comparable experience. It may help you when you file for I-140 / I-485 because EB-2 has not experienced retrogression on visa availability compared to EB-3. Althoufh that could change in the future.

Justwathing, addendum


Thanks JW. So you are saying that once (when) I pass LC, there are 3 differnet tracks (EB-1, 2 and 3) for I-140 and I-485?
I'm assuming EB-3 is just a 'regular' person (with less than 5 years of experience).

WHat is EB-1?

And this is why BPC can't data enter cases in any order that makes sense.

I wouldn't call these 'variations', I would call these" OVERLAPS. How do you pinpoint when you case was received, if there are 3 different possible date ranges?

I think they would have grouped them and sent as per different categories. It might be possible that RIR, NON RIR and DOL case could have been sent seperately.

HI Extension question

I have labor pending for more than 3 years thru my current employer. I am now planning to join other company. Once I joined the future employer is it legal to apply to 1 year extension based on the labour application of the previous employer?. Any inputs are appreciated. Thanks

Click to expand...

You have to first apply for 1 yr extension thru the new company based on pending labor from current employer and then you can join. (You cannot join and then apply for H1 xtension). So the answer is YES.
But make sure your current employer continues your labor application or else you wont be able to get future extensions. Or else file fresh labor thru new employer first, then apply for 1 yr extension thru new employer - this way you will not be dependent on labor filed thru current employer for future extensions.
 
Need help re: 6th visa stamp

I'm planning to go to Canada soon to get my 6th year (i only get 1-year stamps) stamp into my passport. I'm assuming I can do it in Canada (Ottawa), I have a US degree.

When I made the reservation online, it said that we should allow UP TO 3 BUSINESS DAYS to obtain a visa. Is this a true statement? does it really take that long? Has anyone had a similar experience?

thanks a million for a prompt response
 
I went to montreal for stamping. I got my visa in two hours.

when was this? was it a 7th year extension?

Also, what was the best way for you to reserve Montreal? I tried it for 3.5 weeks from now, but it's all booked. I reserved Ottawa instead. Can I change on Internet (nvars.com) to Montreal without cancelling Ottawa.

I also heard Montreal does it the same day, Toronto delivers it the next business day and I have no idea for Ottawa.
