Re: thank you
Still does not say what category you are in..
IF u have bachelor degree with 10 years experience u can go for a EB2
you just can have a Master degree with 5 years and go for EB2
or
you just can have a Master degree with 5 years and go for EB3
so you have to ask your lawyer..like what category he has applied in..i am not sure of any other way that u can find out which category you fall in ..
i hope this helps
The ND is the date that you see on the receipt they send you!..
most probably that will a week later to the received date!..

Re: thank you
You can find your ND and category in the I-140 Reciept Notice from BCIS.
ND is under Notice Date column.
Category is specified under Notice Type. If it says section is Skilled Worker or Professional. Then your I-140 is an EB3.
Hope this information will help you. If the section gives something else, post it here, some one will able to tell you the category.

question
i see that in vermont the eb2 processing date is listed at jan 2003. why is that 6 months behind eb3? isn't it harder to qualify as eb2 than eb3? i suppose if i knew that in advance, i would have asked my lawyer to submit me as eb3 as i would have qualified for that category also. intuition told me though that the more advanced you are, the easier it is to prove that you add value to the USA and therefore would be given priority over the lesser advanced applicants? this doesn't seem to make any logical sense? now i wish i was an eb3!!
signed: angry on saturday morning.
ps - hope you all have a nice wknd! i'll get over it....:

Re: question
I posted a similar question in a couple of threads and even started a new thread for it, but got very few replies and the ones I got didn't make sense to me, so I emailed an immigration attorney and got a reply as follows. If he's right, then maybe things will change in the future.
Reply:
The Service Centers constantly shifts priorities in processing I-140 petitions. Generally, the labor certification based I-140 petitions are less fraud ridden cases and fairly straight forward cases. Accordingly, LC-based cases take less in processing times as opposed to the labor certification waiver cases. Within this general framework, they shift around adjudicators at a given time from one or two types of I-140 petitions to other types of I-140 petitions at a different time.
My question:
I have a question about the VSC processing time report
>recently published - The reports have distinguished EB2 for NIW from EB2 for others for the past few updates. It says that the current processing time for cases of \"Advanced degree or Exceptional Ability" is Jan 6 2003. Are they referring to the LC based EB2 cases? How come there's such a difference between LC based EB2 and LC based EB3 cases? I can't see how
the EB2 cases are more complicated in any way, but it seems to me they have a justification for the difference, now that they list it as a seperate category. Could you shed some lights on this issue from your professional perspective? Thank you very much in advance for your reply!
