You can do this yourself but there are many reputable attorneys that charge much less. James "Ron" Gotcher's firm, Global Immigration Partners, Agoura Hills, CA (https://www.gip-us.com/) charge only about $800 per case (includes dependents). They don't charge extra for any number of e-mail or phone contact.Quote:

Thanks for posting. Everyone in this Forum should submit comment. There are many low hanging fruits here.Quote:

Will that impact the spillover for Fy2022 filling dates because people whoever filled for AOS will be waiting in queue for the visa numbers and will that slow down the DOF / filling dates in oct 2022 visa bulletin if the huge visa numbers are wasted in current fiscal year?
Also as we are waiting for the May visa bulletin, do you think will May and June VB provide the spillover prediction for FY2022 filling dates.
Guys do what you can. Make your voice heard.Quote:

G325A should be pretty easy, look at the previous version which was filed and make any changes if required. This should take only a few minutes.Quote:

Gross income for the company should be easy to obtain, Net income can be left blank. The rest should be pretty simple. If you get stuck, you could ask questions on this forum and people should be able to help. Good luck. I am not sure why lawyers charge so much, my lawyer was asking $2500 for Supp J, Medicals, G325A, employment authorization history. It took me a few hrs but I ended us saving a lot of money.
It's now open for comments for a month.Quote:

For the dependent, since employer signature is not required, we can certainly save money on that Medical RFE.Quote:

I do understand the reality that getting current is not the same as getting a GC but yay!
Congratulations. It is almost fair to say that post May, 2010, it is almost like level playing field as everyone after that date have filed 485 in 2020. But from my experience of GC journey, it is just one wait after another. Wait to become current, and the wait for RFE, then wait for RFER, then wait for Card produced email or message, then wait for approval email, then wait for card mailed and final wait for card picked up by USPS.Quote:

Congrats everyone who became current!! I have a Q. My Priority date is Feb 28 2011. I filed my I-485 in EB2 category last October and received EAD/AP Combo card recently. While I am still on H1b with the same employer. My employer has offered to downgrade my I-140 to EB3 now. Is it advisable to downgrade to EB3 now? Will there be any impact on I-140 downgrade if I use my previously issued EAD for business on the side and AP for travel.
NBC; EB2-I: PD: 28FEB11; RD: 22OCT2020; ND: 14NOV2020; EAD/AP: 17APR2021
Congratulations everyone became current. I have November 2010 EB2I and EB3I and i filed in EB3I with knowledge gained from this Forum. Thank you every one who educated me and all the best every one .
Congratulations. Mine is Sep 2010 EB2 and EB3. Filed under EB3. Medicals are current, so not expecting any RFE based on that. How much time do you guys think it will take to get GC in hand?Quote:

Is it advisable to interfile the medicals before RFE? Never submitted the medicals before
Congrats all! I do see the RFE scene and pace picking up a bit. Hopefully the pace increases going forward.
Congrats to all who became current. What does the trend indicator for the next 2 months?
You can look at the case samples of your local field office (in greencardly website) to understand what application date they have been approving in the last week.Quote:

Thanks! No agony to be honest as I have been with the same employer for more than a decade and thankfully it did not affect career progression or anything like that so I consider myself fortunate.Quote:
