My Journey is over
Hi All - The forum has helped me a lot and I hope my experience helps someone else as well. Below you will find my timeline.
I am EB3 in Northern Virginia- Syrian Citizen. I also had a pending asylum case which caused the delay that I had to face. My file was stuck at the asylum office rather than USCIS until I contacted a Congressman who asked for the file to be transferred back to USCIS for processing. Shortly after, I withdrew my asylum so it doesn't get in the way. I also had a TPS status which is why I was comfortable dropping my asylum case.
Oct 2016 Filed for Prevailing wage.
Jan 2017 DOL came back with the minimum wage required.
Fab 2017 - Apr 2017 Did the Advertising part.
May 2017 filed for Labor Certificate.
Aug 2017 Labor Certificate Approved.
Oct 2017 filed for 1-485, I-140 Premium processing, I-130 and I765
Two weeks later I-140 was approved.
