Dont just copy and paste links from the other site here - we know about this

[veni001]

How about the Prevailing wage ? Are you getting more than what was mentioned in your perm ?

Gurus ,

Is that Okay If one gets lower than the amount specified in perm ?

srinidhi,
Current wage should be at-least or above prevailing wage on LCA filed with his H1B petition.

In general employer should pay at-least or above prevailing wage on PERM application, assuming the beneficiary will be with the PERM sponsoring employer, from the day of GC approval.

I am newbie and I was wondering if you guys used 485 Receipt numbers and USCIS online status tool to check how many applications were filed since a specific date and compare it with PERM data to calculate DD. Using my receipt number and going back in time I was able to figure out that close to 105k applications were filed between Nov, 2011 and Feb, 2012 in TSC (since I tried receipt #s that start with SRC, Nov 3 receipt # SRC1290035###). You have to divide this number by 3 since each 485 app generates 3 receipt numbers This number also includes i485, I140 receipts of ROW applicants, so lets take 10% out of the final number, so the total 485 apps filed by I&C in TSC between Nov & Feb comes down to 31.5k. I am guessing only NSC is the other SC that processes 485 and then on top of it you also have to add CP cases. So guys I have no clue why some people are predicting that 2008 will be cleared in FY 2012. The data does not support it or I am doing a terrible mistake here with my assumptions. If anyone who filed in the first week of OCtober can recalcukate the total apps filed based on Nov 3rd receipt # that wud be gr8.

looks like I made a rookie mistake, the 485s can also be from FB but I have no clue how big of a chunk it is in the overall data, but from the quote "I-485 EB receipts now representing 50%-60% of total receipts" from this blog post "http://us-non-immigrants.blogspot.com/2012/02/adjusted-eb2-india-china-fy-2012.html", looks like 485 receipts @TSC can be between (52.5 - 63k)/3 >> 17 - 21k

[mesan123]

Good analysis....But doubt, will not EB1 also be deducted from the over all count?

Sai, congratulations to you and your family.

After looking at PDs getting approvals wondering if CO meant that dates will retro to Aug 08(and not Aug 07)

[qesehmk]

I may be wrong but my understanding is that most (~90%) of FB applications are filed as CP rather than 485. Secondly, only TSC handles FB 485s.

sujan_vatrapu,

Receipt number can be for any Form. EB485's are filed at NSC or TSC, you can find 485 receipts data from USCIS dashboard, data is always 2-3 months behind.

You can check AOS vs CP ratios under FACTS AND DATA section.

Congratulations! Sai999, enjoy!

[venky2010]

Yes, I am getting more than prevailing wage. In my new job (direct employment), my base salary will be raised by about 35% than mentioned prevailing wage. Will it cause issue?

How about the Prevailing wage ? Are you getting more than what was mentioned in your perm ?

Gurus ,

Is that Okay If one gets lower than the amount specified in perm ?

[venky2010]

Thanks a lot vizcard, Kanmani, asankaran, Q, GC-Utopic, eb2visa, srinidhi. It looks like my best bet will be to wait 180 days.
I shall update you after I talk to a attorney.

Hello Gurus,

Need a quick advice.
I got the GC last week.

I have been offer a promotion of "System Engineering Manager" from the current job of "Senior Systems Engineer" in the same group.
The job duties are exactly the same and additional job duties shall include ppl reporting to me.

Can I accept this promotion right away or I have to wait for sometime?

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

[qesehmk]

Are you kidding me happyme!! Go get it.
Double Congratulations

This is one of the no-brainers! Congratulations on your promotion - go after it. In fact, you should take it regardless of your GC situation.
