Saknia,

What do you say? atyagi73 has a PD of Dec '01 but a RD of Jan '04, which is in itself little wierd, because most people moved from PD to RD within a year in most states. I am not sure why it took 3 years in this case.

It seems it's a combination of PD/RD and may be 45 letter and let's not forget being SILENT. But again i observed some CA cases with June PD, and RD and 45-day letter around same as other approved guys, but still waiting.

I hope this helps you atyahi73, sorry not what you expected.

Hope you and every active and inactive member here gets it sooner.


Hi

The August approval is a bit weired. My predictions are some guess work and intution.Where Science fails God Takes over.

Howver I feel that still they have some criteria by which they are going. I wish they clear all till July 2002 before April. We still have one full week and may be lots of approvals are on the way already.The More approvals comes out,it is better as it brings us more hope .

If not april all July 2002 will be over before May 06 runs out

Let us Pray and Hope. Nothing much can be done for these cases. If the 2002 queue is moving it is good nwes for people waiting in 2003-2005 and Non RIR as well

Thanks for your analysis. People in MD were stuck due to 245(i). It took few months to clarify one day of April'01.

Q: ) Any updates on the status of my Application for Permanent Residency? I see many approvals for the people around my PD. Do you know when mine can get approved? I guess now either an employer or the lawyer can get the status from PBEC. Can you please inquire the status with the PBEC?


A: ) We are not allowed to request the status updates on the applications pending with the BEC. We should be receiving a decision on your application soon considering the pattern we are seeing.

Thanks,

Some Big Attorney's firm are of this view as well. Even if they say that they will check and get back to you they will still say the same update as last they heard or checked.

Many a time small time attorney's are not afraid and will check and really push your case and they may even develop contacts inside there to do this

Don't know your PD. Wish you get the approval soon and I hope your Grand attorney will inform that to you atleast. One of my Friend's lawyer did not inform my friend for a month about his approval and later only when the company approved the news it came to my friend.( The Lawyer excuse was that it belongs to the Company and they have a right to use it/Sunstitute it as they want and they should tell first) Such a filtyhy guys/company are around too.This is normal in the regular scenarios. Not when some one is waiting for 4 + Years . Where is the Lawyer ethics.

Thanks for your wishes... my company is a big company and I HOPE they will not be looking at the idea of substitution. Anyway, my PD info is in my signature. Couple of my colleagues knew almost on the day their's was approved.

Talking about Labor Substitution, I thought/heard USCIS/DOL passed some directive becoz of which the Substitution would be disallowed after 4/15/2006? Do you know if this is still a valid rule or do they allow this Labor Substitution..?

Thanks,

GC status

Hi Gurus,

I am currently on the 7th year extn which ends in Sept 2006. My GC was filed in NY in July 2002/RIR/EB3. I got the 45 day letter in June 2005 and replied back within that same week.

My question is that can I ask for the screen shot of my case from PBEC's h1b7yr email ID to just check on my case status (like it had been entered correctly - TR/RIR etc)

Thanks in advance for your help :confused:

No harm. You have a genuine case for needing it for H1 extension.
You wont get any case status information but other details like RIR/Tr would be available.

Good Luck,

unbelievable!

congrats to all of u who have seen approvals so far........

and good luck in the next stages............

i suggest one of the gurus post the link to the afterlife.......i mean next stage thread for some of us clueless people
 
How much longer???

Hey fellows,
My PD is Ap 30 2001. Yes, still waiting!
But at least we can see a lot of activity going on.
Thanks all the non-silent members for keeping us informed and our hopes alive.
QUESTION: Although I'm not in the H-1 renewal situation, I have requested a screen shot based on it. Never got an answer. As I understand it, that's the only way they'll send you something. Maybe it didn't work because they know???? :confused:
Hopefully we will all be out of this mess soon.
