Hello Caliber how are you?. I am sorry you are still waiting for approval.
Read my signature. You'll come to know my whole story.

Since you have 2002 PD like mine you can try to do the same(recapture old PD).

Good luck to you.

Thank you LoveNY. PERM preparation can take anywhere between 15 days to 4 months. It all depends on your job title and your employers advertisement logs. In my case attorney took 4 months to run new ads, collect other documents like prevailing wage etc.

My new employer paid for all my immigration fee. So i don't have any idea how much it would cost.

Once you send in the application(online submission) you will get it within 15 days to 2 months
 
I guess if the PBEC can not clean the backlog, all the cases will have to be converted to perm with the original priority date. That will be another half year.....

Welcome back

Hey WhatTheHeck,
Nice to see you around. Very interesting signature :) ...you're a swimmer buddy..u'll get there at any cost. Someone needs to write a Papillon (hope someone has read the book or watched the movie) on the green-card fiasco we're a part of.

Guys, I saw a posting on immigration-law breaking news that says the following:

* AILA's 03/15/2007 Liaison Meeting minutes reflect the following statistics:

Hey yours_sincerly, how are you? Glad to hear from you but sad to see you in this thread. We pretty much joined this fourm at the same time.

Oh what a difficult time it was during the last9 months. It was painful. Had to leave everything and moved to different state with the family. But now everthing seems to go in the right direction.

I came back to this forum just to motivate people. I thought my story could help others to take right step even during the hard time.

Anyway good luck to you and others. How is USCISIsMockery doing? Is he still around?

Hi LoveNY,

I will try to answer your question.

From what I know..PERM needs four ads: 2 ads on sunday in a national newspaper, 1 ad in regional/local paper & 1 online ad (monster.com,etc).

Each sunday Ad is around $700 - $1400
Local Paper Ad - $ 300
Lawyer Cost - $ 900

I don't know how much it will cost to place online Ad. I think you should be prepared to spend $3000.

Yep...still hanging in

Yes, still hanging in there. Haven't seen UscisIsMockery for quite sometime. I guess, when he saw some legitimacy in the functioning of the BECs he decided to wait like us.
Sorry to hear about your case. Great to hear that you made the best out of your situation and retained your PD. I'll contact you soon regarding how you did that as I might need that sometime soon.
This thread will become a collector's item in the future and some nostalgic immigrant from this thread is gonna become a billionaire one day and buy this thread for 500 million dollars and will get us all on a History channel programme where we tell our stories :) on "The Resilient Aliens" :) and that programme is gonna last forever if all of us have to tell our stories :)

Is the 20000 RIR adjudication at the end of april an expectation from the members of the forum or a target by BLCC's.
 
"Final Review" of "NOF" for two months

Finally I got some information "useful" after calling PBEC over 100 times. They told me that the analyst issued an "NOF" to my case in Feb, however, it has been on the officer's desk for over 2 months. The letter has not been sent out yet. It seems like that the letter is sleeping on her desk. The certifying officer is Barbara Shelly. Is she a tough woman?

They said the RIR case will be finished by Apr. I do not think it is possible even by the end of May.

God, when will you bless me?
