Employment Based Greencard

I though this may help you understand how bad experiences can be with the INS. Be patient and read bullets.

1. Joined company in 1996 (Promised to file GC in 3 months but....)
2. Company appointed a new Atorney after 8 months.
3. Attorney review H1 ( No damn match with what I did at work --- Company used blanket JD for lower pay scale)
4. Ammended H1 ( ANother 2 months lost).
5. Files GC ( File from NJ godforseken place for GC -- Refuse to file from PA when we already have office there).
6. Next 2 1/2 year file not over opened in NJ ( Royally screwed ).
7. Then realized in 1999 there is something called RIR which can now be used.
8. Got a new Attorney and filed RIR from PA ( Jumped thru hoops to get this approved by company)
9. RIR approved in 2 months ( Filed I140 )
10. Almost everthing by myself including advising attorney to do Educational evaluation as a precautionary measue to avoid RFE on EB2.
11. Just missed the wave and had to wait 8 1/2 months for I140 approval.
12. Educated about CP thru web site ( Advised Attorney to change to CP ).
13. I140 approvel but took almost 1 34/4 month to reach NVC - INS advised that file maybe lost.
14. Finaly file reached NVC but screwed up EB category to EB3 VS EB3.
15. Unable to get attorney to call NVC for 2 1/2 to 3 weeks, finally drafted and faxed letters myself.
16. Company refuses to deal with Attorney as they have other cases with him.
17. Fired Attorney and just appointed a new Attorney.
18. NVC advised that File has been shipped back to INS for correction ( GOD knows how long)
19. Old attorney still draging his feet in returning files.

I have till Feb 2001 when my H1 runs out ( But my dates are currect)

So this tell me isn't his worse than a Dog's life or some of you have some worse stories than this.

This may all be worth it if I can make it before FEB 2001.
