Kadaba, IndiaSunil, Makmohan - congratulations all. Best wishes for future.
Just got the approval email for myself and spouse. I am still dazed and cannot believe it.
This site and all the folks here , u all are just amazing that just saying thanks to you all is not enough... I know many of you already have GC and yet you spend soo much time helping everyone, getting their questions answered and lifting their spirits..
As for me, my journey started with August 2003 with EB3, so it took 10 years to finally get the magic email
Finally it is my turn. Just got the CPO email for me, still waiting for the dependent approval. I really appreciate all gurus in this forum especially Spec and Indiani, Q , Teddy and Nishanth. With your answers to my all questions I got peace of mind in really touch situations.
Good Luck every one. I called L1/L2, Congressman, Senator, SR and INFOPASS. Did everything that is possible, Finally got the text this morning.
Sandy / pdmay - congratulations to both of you.
Thank you Q.Quote:

It's fall. The leaves are turning yellow. SenorMeow, on the other hand, has turned green this morning :cool:

All
Have been a silent follower for a while now. Following forums (like this and trackitt) was the only source of hope in an otherwise 13-freaking-long years.
The wait ended today. Thank you for all of your stellar contribution!
My Details:
Entered on H1B ; Dec-2000
After seeing colleagues's GC applications in '02, and mine not getting initiated till '06; had given up all hopes! Finally when it started, was filed in EB3 to my total shock! - and I had 6 months left on my H1 (6 year quota) - with no other option to continue in US, stuck on with EB3 - and when '07 happened, was not married :( After extensive deliberations with attorney who tried to convince me to file; I decided to pass coz of my marriage (or, lack there of) situation. BUT, one advice I never got from attny was the 'interfile' or 'follow to join' options.
After 12 long years with my only company, and many fights to port to EB2 failing, I decided to start from scratch in '11. Moved to a staffing org, and started all over. Man, it felt like a blunder - First was the PWD shutdown till Oct'11, and then the dates moving so rapidly before becoming 'U' till this Aug! And, finally now the CPO mail on a saturday!
Dates:
TSC
PD: Mar-16-2006
RD: 8/2/13
ND: 8/8
EAD (scheduled) : 9/4 - early walk-in 8/22
EAD/AP Approval: 9/18
CPO: 10/19
Again, the site visit count contribution from my side was atleast 15-20 everyday ;) - that shows how much this forum helped keep hopes alive!
Can't thank all of you enough!
Good luck to others in queue!
Zebra - many congratulations! See ... none of us are attorneys. But if we share what we know with others ... somebody might benefit from it. I am glad things worked out for you.Quote:

On a separate note, I am already working for the sponsoring employer, but when are they supposed to offer me the prevailing wage? I informed them of CPO, and they just said update I-9 once you receive GC, and stayed quiet on the salary revision :(
Thanks
They are supposed to give you prevailing wage since when you joined them on this job. Looks like you are already working in the job the GC was filed for. If they haven't then there is a good chance they have already committed either fraud or crime.Quote:

When my GC is approved?
Thanks
If H1 and PERM positions are different then the employer needs to pay H1 wage or higher while on H1 and PERM wage or higher after GC.
If you doing the PERM job now - then you must get PERM wage. If you are still doing the H1 job - the employer is not under obligation to give you PERM wage. However the employer is kind of under obligation to USCIS that they will give you the PERM job and wage. Because that's how they justified your 140 to USCIS.

Thanks
Could not have said it better.. My attorney claimed that he has had 35 years of experience but he balked when I asked him to file interfile..
He finally did when NSC send a RFE..
Thanks to everyone who made this forum available to us

Me and my wife were Greened last week and have recd our GC in hand. For me it was Q's prediction (that dates will remain same for the month of Oct and Nov 2013 )that helped me continue expecting "green" this yr (EB2I retrogression will happen on Dec 01st 2013).
Congratulations mannyt! Happy for you and enjoy the freedom.
p.s. You certainly stoked my ego! But you know what Teddy said this to me once - that even if we could help one single person in a very small way - that's quite gratifying!Quote:

Thanks,
Guys, after almost 14 years in this country, 1 F1 status, 1 OPT EAD, 7 H1s and extensions, 3 Perms, 2 I-140s, 1 MTR (Motion to Reconsider), 1 I-485, 2 EADs later, I'm happy to say that I'm finally approved. Got the approval email yesterday (12/11/13) at 10am EST. Then later 8:45pm, got the Decision update email.
Thank you all for your support on this wonderful forum. It's been a tough journey and no step has been easy. Thank God for His Grace!
Congratulations Maksimus. All is well that ends well.Quote:
