well i missed the july fiasco because I was on a lengthy biz trip in latin America. then had to wait until March 08 when I became current and filed April 28th. I also went back to school and got another masters, graduated a few years back. Hope it goes well from here on for all of us.



Lucky you to miss the VB Fiasco. At least you got your I 140 approved. I am still waiting for that to be approved. It is bizarre. I hope we will get greened soon.

Count me in Nov. 2002. I didn't even have my I 140 approved.

funny you would say that. My lawyer was very very meticulous and precise but always was very scared of USCIS. I think he would have a heart attack if he read the many posts here of people calling in day after day. he always said you can't mess with them. But since i can't complain about his approval record and the LC fiasco wasn't his fault, it was the fault of the DC labor department (everything is a little slower here than elsewhere in the country it seems), I never made a fuss out of it.
Sorry to hear about your mess, so you say he got your H1B's but screwed the GC process up?



Yes, they screwed up my GC big time. I am in my 7th year of H1B which will expire in June 09. My LC was approved in Nov. 06. I missed the premium processing date because they were very slow. The VB fiasco was not good for us. We are current most of the time, right? If I would not file in july 07 I could have filed in Mar 08. That is when we became current. Remember? I could not go home anyway. I can't believe even big law firms made that mistake to file during july 07 for 2001, 2002 and 2003 filers. And now look we are still in line. The VB fiasco was good for 2006 and 2007 filers. I think the lawyers rather harmed us. I am in grad school and I cannot apply to student loans because of this GC mess.

Berlin. Yes I had an issue with my lawfirm as well. They were very unprofessional as you mentioned, mine were good at getting H1 approvals and etc. But the most important thing was always missing the GC. I spent too much time and it is because of them. They were more afraid to call the USCIS than I was? How funny. With this firm I will run out of H1 and EAD who knows what else. My new attorney is very good. I should have replaced them long time ago.

Hey Murphydc:

Meant to mention it earlier. Thank you for such a nice thread. Sehr gut :).

You must have a good lawfirm from now on I will check for immigration news on that website.

Totally unfair crap! Why do they give preference to cases that were filed through attorneys? To give them more ways to charge their clients? I filed all my paperwork myself and will have to suffer because I had decided not to feed a bloodsucking lawyer.

So, I am voting for a cheaper and more efficient solution -- an SQL query in their database. It would take any IT person about 15 seconds to implement it.



Alspu: Don't be silly. Go get an attorney. You have been saving until now. All s/he needs to do is put your A# down and you will get an update. Do not save because of that. Be wise. Just my 2 cents no accusations.

Hi murphydc:

Are you in the metro dc area? I am, too. I am so fed up with this system. I just changed lawyers. What a great time to switch lawyers. My new lawyer was going to open SR. Let's see.
I am happy for modefrau. She did not send out an email that's why I did not notice.
