Why? It's not like we know who this # belongs to (and fwiw, I personally don't care if other people see my # -- what harm is there in this...)?

I know that several other people are tracking the same case #'s as me -- this way we can share results and ppl won't have to scan the same #'s multiple times.

Well technically there is no harm . But since it is public forum and trust me (as you also know) there are 1000's ppl on this forum most of them just readers.

Just a caution that is all

You are right ETA-GC. The information which we gather is not with purpose of hacking, computer is in public domain and we are not associating it with any person - no doubt about it.

But since no one in the portal is really sure about what exactly these laws mean in long run(I am sure no harm in publishing it - it is perhaps done under FOIA), I will suggest do not put EAC04 - use ***** instead - rest will be OK, if that makes it look more reliable.

Ramesh,

Publish it one level up. Are you sure it is a Nov 2003 case? Is it is so - then nemessis is right on increased % approval of 140s of April 2004. And then it looks like time to open Nov-Dec approvals needed. :D

Congratulations, kmunna!
Could you give details of what financial documents were sent along with the I-140 application? Does your company have profits (or is it reliant on VC funding)? response much appreciated, thanx
