    Check cashed : 08/04/2011.

    I was wondering if anyone has an idea or advise the normal wait time to get a fingerprinting notice and EAD's.

    Also About the green card, will i get it before this year end.?

    All your answers are really appreciated and best of luck to all ( people waiting to submit their application and people waiting for their GC).
    FP is a significant thing. Once that is done (including background check), you should receive it in a couple of months max. If everything is in order ... I do agree 4 months you should be all set!
    I no longer provide calculations/predictions ever since whereismyGC.com was created.

    Question for Gurus

    I work for a management consulting company which also has a private equity subsidiary. My I-140 was sponsored by this private equity subsidiary, there are talks about merging this PE subsidiary back with larger managament consulting company. Will that have any impact on my I-140, which has already been approved? I will really appreciate some guidance on this. Thanks.

    congratulations srini bhai...

    It looks like it will have an impact on your I-140. The new company( who ever owns you) must file a I-140 amendment to your original, with successor of interest clause.

    Murthy article on the PERM PWD pause.

    http://murthy.com/news/n_dolpwd.html

    It says time-frames are uncertain as to when it will be back, and from this one, it looks like apart from H2, even GC and H1 extensions are affected. People needing H1 extension, better contact lawyer to remove any doubt.

    Thanks Q, Leo. I have gone ahead and scheduled a meeting with my lawyer for next Monday. Will update the group after that. I am sure there will be several of us in similar situation given that M&A activities are picking up.

    Hmm i see new terminology for all members now..it no longer mentions new members, members and guru....it represent like college years... nice change moderators

    It will ding us to a certain extent, especially with the PP for EB1C leading to probably more SYA. But I don't think the trend is an increasing trend, it has always been like this. We can monitor situation on trackitt for new FY, when things start rolling for FY 2012. As of now, too early to say how big of an effect it will be. We can start with the assumption that everything is same as this year, and as situation unfolds, change that assumption.

    Last year, the surprise help was from FB, then this year, Kazarian for EB1, let's keep fingers crossed that some other factor, like for eg: Economy, helps us this year next year, to achieve a high SOFAD.

    It does look like EB1C is going to be a silent killer.I have known tens of folks who got GCs within a year in this category and earlier my reaction used to be "its good that at least some companies are standing up for their employees...good for them". But over the last 2 years, the number has grown multifold and this category has turned into one big loophole.

  11. #6536
    You can add companies like Cognizant, Infosys etc to that list who are misusing the EB1 quota.I don't understand how managerial experience of 1 year can be equal to a PhD. It makes no sense at all. There should strict guidelines to follow for this category else people will slip under our nose and come out with GC within a year. I personally know few such people who are in CTS. Its simply nerve wrecking and pathetic.

    Hypothetical Scenario & Question:

    Scenario: As you know recently perm system went down & will not be up & running until October. Let's assume that in the coming quarter or next EB2 ROW demands becomes zero.

    Question: Can CO use the argument he used in the last May bulletin "At this time the amount of demand being received in the EB2ROW is extremely low compared with that of recent years" & then decide to move EB2IC dates.

  13. #6538
    Good point. Theoretically it would be possible if DoS were using quaterly spillover. But they don't. However as we have seen they are capable of pulling any trick out of their hat. So I wouldn't rule it out.

    H1 Stamping

    All,
    Not to sidetrack but let us try to refocus here.

    One issue that affects most of us while waiting forthe dates to be current is the Stamping issue. We all know about the exhaustive scrutiny and sadism that ishappening these days. I have a few questions:


    1. The scrutiny seems to be extremely high for EmP-Vend-client models (EVC).
    Does this model violate H1B rules? If yes, why is the USCIS approving it here at the first place. (ie. After verifying all documents by issuing an RFE)

    2. This administrative processing seems robe a blackbox. No timeframe is given. Any suggestions on do's and dont's is greatly appreciated.

    3. People in similar situations, please post your experiences with the following information.
    - # of successful previous stampings
    - model (EVC or DCdirect client)
    - consulate name
    - date
    - response (successful/ RFE/ Admin Processing etc.)

    Gurus - please create a new thread as it will be very helpful.

    Lightbulb EB2 movement possibilities in October 2011 VB

    Friends, I am surprised (pleasantly), when I saw some people saying doors are not closed for EB2 I movement and there are possibilties of movement in October VB and so on.. Can someone throw some light on this?

  19. #6544
    The rumors may be wrong but my dead hopes came alive again. I am in Sep17 2007 EB2 I. Friends! your opinions please.. I did not know much abt the calculations though! At the end of the day, it is what it is..

  20. #6545
    My understanding is, starting October EB2I will get its own quota of 235 visas every month. If all the cases before Apr 15th 2007 are cleared by end of September and there are not many porting number, USCIS have to move the dates by a week or two.

    From which source do you hear this? Plz elaborate.

  22. #6547
    Guys, let's not speculate and face disappointment.

    There's a decent breakdown on us-non-immigrant.blogspot.com---looked bit conservative, but I'd stick to that for now.

    TSC dates are misleading.. I know atleast two guys who applied under "I-140 - Advanced degree or exceptional ability" in June this year have their I-140 approved last week or so.. so it is arround 2 months processing time..

    evoori,

    I agree that the dates aren't necessarily totally representative, but then neither is a sample size of 2 cases!

    For cases submitted to TSC as regular processing and approved in this FY to date, Trackitt gives a median of:

    EB2-ALL - 178 days
    EB2-India - 191 days

    For NSC, the figures are:

    EB2-ALL - 119 days
    EB2-India - 120 days

    All Service Centers

    EB2-ALL - 156 days
    EB2-India - 172 days


    All Service Centers for approvals in FY2011

    EB1A - 263 days - TSC - 272 - NSC - 207
    EB1B - 184 days - TSC - 215 - NSC - 107
    EB1C - 188 days - TSC - 189 - NSC - 184

    Not perfect, but perhaps slightly more representative.
