Is anybody out there, whose case has been transferred to the local INS at Arlington, Virginia and got approved after the interview (how long did it take to get an interview call?)? Please comment. Thanks

hi,
i know a guy with user name Vihsuna who was on this forum before and his case was transfered to Washington D.C (Arlington local office) about two months ago. Maybe he can help you but i wonder if he visits this site regulary.
Hope you get some new info about this and share that with us.

hey,
let me ask you this?
did you file I-485 by yourslef or you had a lawyer.
My lawyer told me if you dont file your applicaiton correctly or if there is somthing seriously wrong with your application, then they call you for interview. i am not sure if this is any true though.
bye

Hasan, My (ex)company\'s lawyer\'s (top 5 law firms in Washington D.C., charged $10,800 to my company for H-1 + GC) filed my NIW I-140 and I-485. I have seen their work and am very postive that they are very, very good at it. So, I don\'t think my petiton falls under that category.

As I mentioned earlier, mine is an employer petitioned NIW application and I changed (got laid-off) the employer after filing the I-485. For the employment letter RFE I provided the new employment letter. As per the law, NIW petitions, whether self or employer petitioned, are portable as long as you are in the SAME FIELD. Some of our friend\'s on this forum don\'t agree with this, but believe me, I have spent close to $1,200 in consultation: all the three famous lawyer\'s in this area and two from west coast stated the same...... By the grace of GOD, I am in the SAME FIELD as of today....so, I should be okay, but still have that tension.....

The IIO at VSC couldn\'t make a decision on the change of employment aspect and could not (no patience and time probably) research further....so transferred my case to the local INS. Thank you so much for your help. Happy Holidays....

ASC:

I\'m in the similar situation as yours. My case has been transferred to local office as well. My case detail:

NIW, ND 9/99.
Changed employer but in the same field. Post-doc to tenure-track.

You provided some valuable information about NIW. You said in the post that "As per the law, NIW petitions,
 whether self or employer petitioned, are portable as long as you are in the SAME FIELD".
I wonder if you could be kindly provide some more detailed explanation on this, such as legal documents issued
by INS. Thank you very much.
