Hi Oscar, so sorry for all those nasty comments. You have been so helpful and very transparent through your channel in delivering the right messages. Keep on with the good work and thanks once again for all your effort 💌
Hi Oscar, my EB2 NIW Consular process was delivered at USCIS on April 2, 2023. I had to provide RFE additional information and resubmitted on Oct 2, 2023. Does my Priority Date change?
Please keep doing what you're doing and the way you're doing it. People who want you to coddle them with fake and misleading positivity don't realize how ruthless the US immigration is. For the rest of us, it keeps us grounded in reality.
Hi Oscar, Lovely video as always! Keep doing what you are doing and do not mind the detractors: we live in weird times! :-) I hope to be able to give you the good news about the I-485 approval soon. For the moment my EAD and AP have been approved (as of May 9 for both). Fingers crossed! A big hug from the humid (very much so) Florida, Davide
Thanks Davide! Don't worry, I just refer to those messages to make this video a little bit more fun: I know how internet is for the good and bad! I was thinking about you the other day and wondering where you were with the AOS. So your message came at the perfect time; glad to hear about the temporary benefits and now I hope I can soon hear everything is done soon and you got your green cards approved at last. Keep in touch
Hi Oscar, thanks very much for another informative video. I wanted to ask is there any way to know the wait time after having one's priority date current and being documentarily qualified?
Thanks! Not really because unfortunately the processing times in Embassies/Consulates are not public. So after you are DQ you can *estimate* how long until becoming current, but there's the wait time until getting an appointment based on the consulate's backlog, and we have no (official) way to know that. I hope one day they will publish that, like they do for nonimmigrant visas
Hi Oscar, thanks for always providing great info to us. You said 15 - 20 months of waiting period to get the GC (depending on the scenario). Shall we calculate it from the PD or DQ?
that is based on today's visa bulletin situation, which will continue to evolve. It's from PD but it does not include any backlog in the consulate or embassy. That could add a few months depending on where your are (and unfortunately there is no public official data on consulate backlogs for green cards)
If any petitioner's case is transferred to relevant embassy for visa processing and still interview date has not been assigned then in such case, do retrogression can cause in increasing interview wait time?
OMG.. those comments about you smiling, and not being positive enough... you are absolutely right to say that if people don't like listening to you, they don't have to watch your channel! Some people are just idiots!
Not sure what the question is, are you talking about adjusting your status from a J visa to a green card? Yes, you can, as long as you are current in the visa bulletin
Oscar tu eres el mejor, los que critican no tienen oficio, es decir si lo tienen, su oficio es criticar porque no tienen nada que aportar. El valor de tu contenido no es fácil de encontrar en las redes. Tu seguidores reconocemos todo tu trabajo y esfuerzo. Darle importancia a los comentarios negativos es tomarlos en cuenta y no se lo merecen. Gracias por todas tus orientaciones, mil gracias por compartir todo lo que has aprendido y hacernos el camino mas corto regalándonos tu experiencia.
Muchas gracias Carmen! Da gusto leer mensajes como el tuyo, y dan ánimos para seguir con más fuerza. No te preocupes, esos comentarios no me afectan demasiado porque ya sé como es internet para lo bueno y para lo malo. Saludos!
Oscar, thanks for everything you do. I enjoy your videos. They are very Informative. Please can someone with a Bachelors degree in Molecular Biology, no work experience in this field. However, i have over 15 years of progressive experience working in Cybersecurity /IT with tons of professional security certifications apply for EB2 NIW ie file a i140 petition or must my Bachelors be in Computer Science or Engineering field?. Note I am working on some projects/endeavors that are of national importance 😊
Hey so I’m doing the EB1A adjustment from O1. So I filed the I-140 premium process. And filed the I-131, I-765 and I-485 all concurrently. I haven’t heard anything from the 140 premium processing but received and did my biometrics May 8th. Filed March 29th straight the National Benefits Service. Biometrics receipt April 19th. Have you had this experience ? I payed premium but nothing.
If they charged you for Premium, you should get your I-140 processed within 15 days for EB-1. If that did not happen (and they charged you), you should contact them to request they adjudicate your case or refund you.
Hi Oscar, I am on TN visa and my employer is about to file for i140 but with the current backlog do you think it is a good timing since my TN has 17 months remaining and I’m not allowed to renew TN while on GC process
Thanks. NIW is not faster in the visa bulletin but NIW saves you one step compared to regular EB2 because you won't need a labor certification or PERM (the usual process that goes before I-140 )
Hi Oscar, If I-140 gets approved, but the priority date is nowhere near to continue with the final process of green card application, can a person apply for work permit and travel authorization before applying for the status of adjustment?
No, like I said in the video one of the benefits of being able to file I-485 is that you can also file for those two interim benefits (EAD and travel). Unfortunately you can't apply to those until you file AOS
So no travels are allowed even with the current status? Thank you. I didn’t get a chance to listen to all of it. Will watch later, but thank you for answering. It’s sad though that they go together
@AnPTsRoom7 if you have a valid visa stamp that allows you to travel it should be no problem . And yes, I hope they decouple these processes from I-485 so people can get EADs
Hi oscar, thanks for the video. My petition was approved in dec and im waiting for the consular process, however i need to attend a conference in the us in Aug. Will my status affect my chance of getting a non immigrants visa.
Congrats on the approval. Yes, it could affect the approval. You should still try and provide the necessary explanations but do keep in mind that there's a good chance you'll be denied
@@OscarsGreenCardhi, can you please elaborate on this point? Why would they decline non immigrant visa while an immigrant visa consular application is DQ and waiting due to retrogression?
Hi Oscar, the wait time for I-140 appears to be 8-10 months. But I hear people saying that they got their I-140 approved in 3-4 months. What’s the trend like in the wait time for a response on I-140?
Really i don’t mind if you share my comment in your video, but sharing my name doesn’t make sense. It really shows how childish you are that you can’t accept other opinions and how unprofessional you are. Plus you are not the one who will decide what to watch, thank you.
