New Processing Dates - the lies keep coming..

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 [...]

The Bush administration has launched a major overhaul of the nation’s immigration services agency, selecting an industry consortium led by IBM to reinvent how the government handles about 7 million applications each year for visas, citizenship and approval to work in the United States, officials announced [...]

December 2008 Visa Bulletin Published

It’s available at:
http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4384.html
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.

Obama Wins….at least at endlesswait.com

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…
