I 485 J
Hi,
Can any one help me to understand,
I applied for I 485 and I485J on 10/10/2017
Receipt date came as 10/24/2017
BioMetric Interview scheduled on 11/21/2017
since then nothing moved on my status.
I checked the NBC time line on USCIS.gov for I 765 Application for Employment Authorization (c)(9) it shows September 1, 2017.
Also I read some of the comments from the this site and called for Phone number 1-800-375-5283 and they informed me that USCIS has not considered your case as of now and the representative took 2 breaks for 30 seconds each and told me that USCIS is currently processing March 2017 cases.
I want to know:
1) Has some one got approved with same time lines?
2) Till when this mess is going to go on? As USCIS person on phone told that he cannot tell when you are out of normal processing time but once you are out, you need to call us back to check status.
3) I dont know any congressmen therefore, I need your help on how to reach these guys to push the case file.
FYI - I had applied under ROW category.
Thanks in Advance.

Employer change after GC
Hi,
I got the status "Card/Document production". I have not received my GC yet by mail. My sponsoring company is a recruiting/staffing company. I am working for their client in the client's location. The current client is not extending the contract. And my recruiting company (for some unknown reason) is not aggressively marketing for me. It has been two weeks but they just got one interview for me, which I did not clear :(. I am a IT professional.
I don't want to leave the company right away after getting the GC, fearing it may cause a question from immigration officer after five years when applying for citizenship.
Is this fear VALID ?
What are the issues may cause if I change the employer now?
Should I wait for my company to find another client for me?
From March I will be on bench. Since I am on GC they will not pay me.
Please advise me. what you guys know about employer change in this situation.
EB2/priority date June 9, 2017/ Interview date Feb 6/ Approved Feb 8/ Newark, NJ Field office
Thanks

Update on my experience
see my profile for previous posts
EB1A
AOS package submitted; Oct 2, 2017
485 trf to NBC: Dec 12, 2017 (no updates since then, no letter for interview)
EAD, AP combo received: Feb 1st week, 2018
So it took about 4 months to get EAD, AP combo.
No word on interview scheduling yet which is quite disappointing.
My field office is Newark, NJ.
Anyone else in same/similar situation?

H1B Extension After 6 years
Hi all,
i think i am in a tough spot. I would like some insights here.
I know you can request for a 1year extension of the H1B once you have filed the Labor Cerifitcation.
But i would like to know, what is meant by filing the Labor Certification.
The first step to PERM is the prevailing wage, next step interviewing other candidates and then file for PERM. Can you request for extension on the first step i.e. once you've filed for prevailing wage? or is the labor cerification filing considered the last step?
I am asking because it seems it takes at least 1year to to go though step 1 and 2 before the filing
Do you know if prevailing and interview can be conducted at the same time?
Will appreciate any insights here

Back and forth between NBC and local office
My 485 status (EB1C) changed to "Transferred and a new office has jurisdiction" 10 days back and then after a few days it said - "Transferred to local office". Then again, within 2 days of that, the status again changed to "Transferred to another office and a new office has jurisdiction". So it looks like it went to NBC from Texas SC and then to local office and again within 2 days went back to NBC. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

EAD/AP - when is it received in Eb1C concurrent ?
Hi,
I am seeing lot of differences in the process followed and so its confusing.
But as a general norm, can someone suggest when is EAD/AP received in Eb1C concurrent filing ?
Is it after Biometrics or after I140 approved ??
Sorry if I am sounding naive.. appreciate some replies..
