Due to the massive retrogression, I am still awaiting for my priority date to be current again which is really a few years away. I am trying to convince my employer to switch and refile a new petition under EB2. However I am getting a few excuses and various inconsistent reasons from them. So I have one question for you:<br /><br />1.) Is there an official website that the USCIS or Dept. of Labor uses to determine the minimum salary for a certain type of work (Ex: Civil Engineer in a certain County, State, etc). <br /><br />Anonymous17https://www.blogger.com/profile/01377049368995624490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2595878755567407100.post-51914837051599007152014-09-15T15:29:51.579-07:002014-09-15T15:29:51.579-07:00Hello, thanks so much compiling all this informati...Hello, thanks so much compiling all this information.

Else almost everyone would select the one with shortest time.<br /><br />You or your lawyer would send it to the correct dropbox and USCIS will route it to the correct service center.<br /><br />According to latest I-485 processing statistics, USCIS is trying to equally distribute load in both service centers.

GC is for future job. Your new employer can file for you even today (even if you have not joined them yet but are planning to). They can file it on your first day or after few years. It fully depends on your employers when they want to start the process.<br /><br />Q. So let's say it'll take 2 more years until my priority date becomes current with my current employer, if I switch to a new employer, will it also take 2 more years, or will there be delays? <br />A. Your new PERM and I-140 application would take around 6-9 months to process. After that you will have to wait for PD to be current.Amazonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04694791047686051930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2595878755567407100.post-2271598010088569842013-05-24T09:07:17.377-07:002013-05-24T09:07:17.377-07:00Also regarding question 3, I did read through the ...Also regarding question 3, I did read through the link, how do you know whether or not your green card will be filed in NSC or TSC? I know it's 4 months in NSC and 8 months in TSC, is it possible to choose NSC instead of TSC? My employer will probably be filing in California, however there's a possibility that this might be filed in New York. Does one location matter over the other?

So you're saying if I start at a new employer, I'd obviously have to make sure that they would sponsor my green card again, this process from when I start work to when they apply for the green card again, would there be a significant delay? So let's say it'll take 2 more years until my priority date becomes current with my current employer, if I switch to a new employer, will it also take 2 more years, or will there be delays? This is provided my I-140 is approved and I switch jobs without a break in between.<br /><br />Thanks again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2595878755567407100.post-60772495218217418122013-05-23T16:49:22.999-07:002013-05-23T16:49:22.999-07:00Thank you for the kind words.
1. If you switch em...Thank you for the kind words.<br /><br />1. If you switch employers, you have to start the process from scratch. However if your I-140 is approved at previous employer, then you can retain the old PD.<br /><br />2. If USCIS receives enough applicants to fill the quota, it would stop moving forward. Based on current data, it could most likely move forward very slowly in August and September VB.<br /><br />3. Once I-485 is filed, the average processing time is between 4 and 8 months (depending on service center). Please see this article:<br /><a href="http://blog.mygcvisa.com/2013/04/how-to-file-i-485-application.html" rel="nofollow">http://blog.mygcvisa.com/2013/04/how-to-file-i-485-application.html</a><br /><br />4. You also have an option to stay with current employer and try to upgrade to EB2. There are few restrictions by USCIS in this scenario (though few have done it successfully).Amazonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04694791047686051930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2595878755567407100.post-79998097880973510672013-05-22T15:25:43.903-07:002013-05-22T15:25:43.903-07:00Hi I've been reading this site for awhile, and...Hi I've been reading this site for awhile, and I have to say this is very useful! Thanks and keep up the good work. I have some questions I hope you can answer.<br /><br />1) I am currently EB3ROW (Singapore) with priority date 12/10/10. If it was possible to port to EB2 with a new employer, you're saying that I can retain my priority date if my new employer agrees to file me under EB2 correct?<br /><br />I was always under the impression that if I were to change employers I would have to start my green card process from scratch, but from what you're saying, it's possible to retain the priority date as long as my new employer files me under EB2?<br /><br />2) It looks like the EB3 row July predictions are Feb 15, 2009. Any chance that the upcoming months this will continue to move at the fast pace it's been moving, or is there a good possibility of retrogressing?<br /><br />3) Regarding the I-485, this is applied once my priority date becomes current correct? What is the average processing time from when it is applied to when I finally get my green card? I heard it's different for different locations, I would hate to have to wait another 8 months from the time I become current to getting my green card, is this a possibility?<br /><br />4) The reason I'm asking is because I'm at a crossroads, I'm thinking if I should leave my job and get an MBA and then subsequently get an employer to file under EB2, or try and apply to another company without a master's degree with another company and hope they file under EB2 (much harder)<br /><br />Thanks so much!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
