Thank you Srimurthy and Q! Ability to go abroad is one of my big concerns (in the specific case that I join on receipt)Originally Posted by srimurthy
Lets say I have H1b approval with current company until 2021, and I change companies and join new company on H1b receipt. New H1b is not approved. Can I even go abroad and re-enter in the following 2 cases ?
1) if I have my H1b stamp on passport with old company only until 2018 ?
2) if I have my H1b stamp on passport with old company until 2021 ?
Congratulations. I agree the analysis here is extremely valuable. On a side note, I am always curious on the cryptic website name "qeshmk" does anyone have any idea what it stands for?
I am sitting with EB2I Apr 2010 PD and I will be more than happy if I get greened within another 3 years. Do the math for yourself.
👍👍👍👍 good to know
Mine took 6 weeks at NSC and one my friend had approval in 4 weeks at TSC. USCIS improved on EAD/AP renewal timelines i guess, most of them i heard were approved between 4-8 weeks.
I'm 30th March, 2010 EB2..I was hoping 2020...looks like 2021 ouchh!!
Anybody with a priority date later than Sep 2009 should seriously consider downgrading to EB3, it is going to go way faster.
NSC:EB2 India, Priority Date:05/27/09, ND:03/08/12, NRD:03/14/12
Why do you say any body. Looks like 2013 is a very long way to go.
Fair enough, for 2013 priority dates it is better to wait a couple of years and see how it goes.
NSC:EB2 India, Priority Date:05/27/09, ND:03/08/12, NRD:03/14/12
I don;t have this option; I will just have to wait it out. People who can port to EB3 from EB2, please do so
January 2019 visa bulletin released. https://travel.state.gov/content/tra...uary-2019.html
EB3-I filing date moved to April 1, 2010. Good movement, hopefully this will be honored by USCIS for AOS.
Visa Bulletin out - EB3 India Filing Dates @01-APR2010
Wow!! Soaring like an eagle but no movement on the FA date though.
Good movement indeed. Very interesting thing to note is the NVC data included in the bulletin:

Looks like a lot of China folks are applying via Consular route in EB1 category.
Baby steps, people. Three month movement for EB3I FD is really good. The last time we had such good news in January, it was year 2012.

Per NVC data, there are 21,385 applications waiting at NVC in EB3 India category as of Nov 1st, 2018. Sometime back, we saw that the total number of approved I-140 in EB3-I category was around 55K as of April 2018. Does this mean that there are roughly 34K (55 - 21) approved I-140's which will use AOS route roughly speaking?
Off course, there's a time difference in between these two reports but just trying to make sense at very high level.
for final action dates for EB2I?
By any chance, is it possible to see filing or final dates of Jan 2012 in the next 1/2 years for EB2 or EB3 ?
EB1 A / EB1B / EB1C - the only solutions !
No one knows for how long USCIS will keep accepting the filing dates. Jan 2012 in EB2 being able to file in the next two years only when some magic happens and that we can count it as not happening. Most PDs in late 2010 in EB2 are looking at the option of filing a I140 amendment to be considered for EB3 just to get EAD. Things will have more clarity for 2012 may be around Sep'19.
Someone just got greened after a 10 year wait and that should be the benchmark whether EB2 or EB3 how I look at things.
Tragic to note, but 10 yr mark in 2022 is not far away.
The filing date moved 3 months only for EB3 while rest of the dates for every category had very little or new movement. EB1-ROW is backlogged in the 2nd quarter as well. I was expecting them to be current in Jan 19.
I expect USCIS to continue to consider filing date for January as well.
Gurus in the forum. How fast do you guys foresee FD moving for EB3I from here on? Or when do you expect to see slow down in EBI FD movement?
Reason I ask this is I am EB3 JAN/14, just trying to see when would I be able to apply for at least EAD/AP
Thanks in advance
Thats a very optimistic estimate
Aceman - Where do you think the FD will end up for EB3 at the end of FY19? Please also consider the downgrade scenario once the FD passes May 2010. Thanks.
