So, are you nurse and directly processing EB based GC from Philippines?

Loto

Yes, I'm a nurse. I'm just not sure what form did they file for me but i think its EB I-140 Immigrant petition for alien worker.

So do you think it wouldn't affect my I-130 since it wasn't my fault that my EB was still pending and it is because of retrogression?

well, it depends how you look at it: for me every day that passes makes me one step closer to the finale, that's why I am positive and cheerful. And when it turns 4 months, it will be even better, it

Now I got it, cutiezoe :star:

Your employer applied EB based GC for you. These are the steps:

1) Employer will file a Labor certification for you with Dept. of Labor here first

2) Employer will file I-140 - employment based petition for you

3) Since you are outside the U.S, there is no Adjustment of Status. So, it will be routed through NVC to the Consulate for Consulate interview - EB based GC.

Since your PD is not current, now you are stuck in 3rd stage, but already completed first 2 stages.

It won't affect. Both will go in parallel. But you will have to answer truthfully to the Consulate officer, only if CO asks about it.

Also, as I said, abandon the pending one formally after the GC visa is approved from the first one.

Good luck!

Hello everyone.

I am new to this post but I read all your comments. I am in the same boat. I filed my I130 on July, 2010. My NOA1 says priority date july 6, 2010 and Notice date was July 14, 2010. My case was transferred from CSC to TSC in November 2010. The last update in my file was November 29, 2010. since then I have not received anything or my case has not been updated. My husband called since he is the petitioner and I am the beneficiary. They told us that it was outside the time frame and somebody was going to contact us within 30 days.. please advise me if this is a normal process because it seems that is actually outside of the 5 months. It has been 6 months already... what do I do? I have 3 kids and I really would like to have my consular interview by june or july since my kids are out of school that way I can take them with us without any interruption in school. How long from Approved I130 to NCV To consular interview.. please help

Good luck waitingondLord!

After I-130 approval, NVC can be done in 1.5 months time without any RFE. (I think you have NVC Electronic Filing option, check it out)

Mexican Consulate - other people from your country will better estimate this timeframe. I think it is the deal of another 2 months time, but is an estimate.

Here are some helpful email addys

http://www.visajourn...ost__p__4404259

here is where i explained, albeit a little impatiently :( that you do not have to wait to ask for expedite ... read through this thread becasue there are MANY there who are long past the 5 months

http://www.visajourn...ost__p__4404606

please call USCIS, let them know you are past your 5 months and you want expedited. note the number they give you (starts with ETC) and the date .. you will get a hard copy letter in mail within 5 days.

if after 30 days you have not heard something call again. keep on them!

squeaky wheel gets the oil

dedicate a folder, notebook, soemthing only for your visa stuff and document EVERYTHING! every call made to USCIS, everything you do, everyone with whom you speak, make copies of all correspondence, and so on.

Edited by nab

if you gave your info (receipt #s, full name, etc) to anyone on VJ under the guise that they would "help" you through the immigration journey with his inside contacts (like his sister at USCIS) ... please contact OLUInquiries@dhs.gov, and go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact to report anything suspicious. Contact your congressman and senator's offices as well.
