A few months ago when I started this blog, it was primarily for the purpose of connecting with other fellow immigrants and writing about my thoughts on this topic. The goal was to bring like-minded immigrants together and hopefully create a resource that we could all use and to voice our opinions against the the [...]
New processing dates in NSC and TSC: I-140 for EB2 and EB3 are at August 2, 2007 now. I still know at least 20+ people personally and if you go look at Trackitt, you’ll see a hundreds that are still waiting for adjudication from the Jan-July 2007 timeframe. USCIS really must come out and talk [...]

Ok that title has nothing to do with this post, that was just to get you excited on this dull Thursday morning. You probably checked your email in the hope that your attorney sent you a positive email about your immigration application. Then you checked your Processing dates page to see if anything changed on [...]

Very little movement for EB2 and EB3 categories. Due to availability of new visa numbers for fiscal year 2009, we were hopeful that there would be a larger movement in the processing dates, but that doesn’t appear to be happening.

If you are like me, you visit the Processing dates pages for your service center often. I do it several time between the 14th and 20th of every month when the USCIS usually updates these pages. Some other times, I just check it even though I know nothing would’ve changed on it, it’s a damn [...]
Our poll on McCain versus Obama on Immigration showed Obama clearly winning 58% to 14% with 28% undecided. The mood is feverish here in the US today. Feels as if 18 months of craziness, first the Hillary versus Obama battle and now the McCain versus Obama race, is culminating in one day today…
