Congrats Maranatha... You are sharing lot of information with the guys that helps new people here. Thanks once again and congrats for 140 approval.

Thanks everyone..
@SaiOm - My attorney couriered the file. Good luck with yours!
@perm777 - 717. I got the sms & email alert at 7 AM EST today. Though date of approval is yesterday.

I did not receive my approval till today.

@perm777.. you have 5 more days, sometimes they take longer. Don't worry, it will come through.

Congrats Maranatha

Got RFE today. Asking for Degree transcript..

Thank you roadahead.

Hi Maranatha,

Was your online status (i140) acceptance till 03/27?.......

Have you also received email copy of approval from USCIS before they sent you hard copy?

Hi,
Its in my case details.. -Email and sms alert on 3/28/12

But its just a notification of approval not the entire approval notice I 797.

Make sense. Thanks. We are kinda in same boat. Though, My journey was not as easy as yours. I am glad you didn't have to go through all these. I see you are helping quite a few people here. I am one of the unlucky person from october PERM filing whose PERM got stuck for a quite while without even audit.

I think you are waiting LCA to be approved and I am waiting for hard copy of the I-140 approval at this time. I think they have filed my H1 today itself (efile) and will send documents once they receive the I-140 approval. It is very weired my attorneys have sent them FedEx return envelope when they intially filed I-140 petition in PP but the envelop has not been tendered till now. we received my I-140 email approval yesterday around noon.

Thanks!

@h1bmaxout

I hope you got the I140 hard copy.. everyone waits in some queue or the other in this system. :-)
I waited in the PWD queue for 170 days. So if I had got my PWD in June or July, my PD could have been July or Aug instead of December.. how even one single day can have an impact on lives!

Maranatha,

My PWD determined in 30 days but entire recruitment process still took 6 months(damn.. state job bank!!!!) to complete. As you already know, Perm process also took 6 months. We have received the hard copy of I-140 on Monday but I think the attorneys have used email I-140 approval notice in my H1b extension. We have asked consular processing for this H-1B petition.

I agreed with you that everyone will have to wait eventually in some kind of queue in this system. BTW, Good luck to you for your LCA and next H1 petition!

Thanks,

Marantha,

Hi Prem,

This looks good for EB2 except for the line "Any suitable combination of education, training or experience is acceptable." The Kellog language is needed only if your qualification do not meet the primary requirements, i.e. primary requirements is Masters and alternate is BS + 5 and you qualify based on the alternate requirements. But I think it should not cause a problem because H8 is clearly stating that alternate combinations are not acceptable. So just ensure that the employer letter that is submitted along with your I140 contains clear requirements as US BS or foreign equivalent + 5 years and how you qualify. Good luck!

Hi Maranatha,

Thanks for your inputs.

Thanks
Prem
