Although it was a short trip since paper submissions to approval, I want to clarify that it took me 18 months to put together all the papers the lawyer requested. This was though Vermont and I am putting this message in 485 approvals in Vermont, also (I do not know if this is "legal").
Here is my story.
I am an MD from Argentina.
JULY 1994 - JUNE 1998: J1, wife and daughter J2. I should clarify that in 1996, I was out of status for 100 days. A program director screwed-up my papers and left me out of status for a while. Left the US, went to Embassy for stamping. Consul was mad but gave me another J1. I though this would really screwed my chances of obtaining a GC or leaving the country after GC submission.
JULY 1998 – NOVEMBER 2002. Moved to Argentina. Paid my two-year J1 rule.
NOVEMBER 2002. Came back to US in an H1, good until August 2005. Worked for the government, a VA hospital.
SEPTEMBER 2003. Spoke to lawyer about applying for GC. Gave me a long list of things to do. It took 18 months for me to gather all the data.
APRIL 2005, concurrent filing. I-140 for EB1 and NIW + I485. RD was 05/05.
I-140 EB1 approved on 06/01/05. FP on 07/08/05.
JUNE 2005, requested premium processing for my H1 renewal. In July went to Argentina and had it stamped. New H1 now expires on 2008.
AUGUST 2005, RFE for NIW (diploma translation). RFE sent.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2005. Emails from USCIS: I-140 for NIW approved. I-485 for me and my daughter, approved. Wife’s is pending.
Thank you all for your support.
