Hey what happens to my status for AOS and civil documents once its gets reviewed? does it change from N/A to something else. My AOS 60 day review will get over tomoro.

Once it changes to N/A...it means there are no checklists for you and within a weeks time you should receive your case complete email and then onto the local consulate...

Why did you wait for the 60 day review...you could have called NVC earlier....

Good Luck

After I submitted my AOS, I got an email saying that it will take 60 days to review your documents due to increased number of applications that NVC is taking now.

PS I submitted my documents on 29th october and havent received any checklists till date.

Don't rely or wait for the emails from NVC...Better to Call them frequently...

Not receiving checklists is a Good Sign..

Good Luck

Yes not receiving checklist is a good thing but have heard that NVC does send you a general checklist, is that true?

The General checklist is called the "False Checklist" which you can ignore than panic..Keep calling NVC and also an eye for your email Inbox..

12/16/2014: SKILLS Visa Act Back on Spotlight By Being Placed on the House Union Calendar Yesterday

• This is the bill, H.R.2131, which was introduced by Rep. Darrell Issa of California on 05/23/2013 with the 22 other Republican members of the House but failed to see any fruits and spotlights because of the GOP-Democrat confrontations in 2014. Yesterday, the House placed this bill on the Union Calendar #507, as a signal that the House leadership will indeed focus on piecemeal legislative immigration reforms including border security and high tech foreign worker immigration reform by the Republican Congress ahead. However, this bill has a poison pill to eliminate immigration lottery system to offset the increase of number of immigrants by high skilled foreign workers. Unless this poison pill is compromised and removed from the bill, this bill will encounter a strong resistance both in and out of the Congress and the Obama Administration. Because of this poison pill, the bill encountered a strong opposition from the African American congressional caucus, among others.
• This bill proposes the following, among others:
  • Increase employment-based immigrant cap numbers from 140,000 to 235,000
  • Elimination of 55,000 diversity visa program and use the numbers for those high skilled foreign workers with a medical degree, a dentistry degree, a veterinary degree, or an osteopathic medicine/osteopathy degree
  • Create new EB visa category of EB-7 using unused EB-1A priority worker visa numbers and part of eliminated diversity visa numbers leftover to those foreign workers with a master's degree in a STEM field from a U.S. doctoral institution of higher education or with all master's degree courses in a STEM field, including all courses taken by correspondence or by distance education while physically present in the United States or those with a baccalaureate degree in a STEM field.
  • Create another new EB visa category of EB 8-1 and EB 8-2: EB-8-1 for qualifying venture capital-backed start-up entrepreneurs and for self-sponsored start-up entrepreneurs and (2) EB-8-2 for E-1 treaty trader nonimmigrant status for 10 years or longer benefitting the economy of this country and creating at least 5 full-time U.S. workers for at least 10 years. Qualified entrepreneurs and family will receive conditional permanent resident status.
  • Make EB-5 regional center investor program permanent.
  • Eliminate the per-country limit for employment-based immigrants.
  • Increase the per-country limit for family-based immigrants.
  • Make Conrad J-1 waiver program permanent and increases the number of alien physicians that a state may be allocated from 30 to 35 per fiscal year, and provide up to three visa waivers per fiscal year per state for physicians in academic medical centers, extend dual intent to aliens coming to the United States to receive graduate medical education or training, or to take examinations required for such education or training, additional employment protections and contract requirements for alien physicians working in underserved areas, and excludes from numerical immigration limitations alien physicians who have completed national interest waiver requirements by working in a health care shortage area.
  • Increases the H-1B cap to 155,000 per fiscal year, and replace current master degree cap by STEM master or doctorate degree cap of 40,000 per year.
  • Portability of O-1 visa holders.
  • Extend dual intent to foreign students coming to the United States to pursue STEM field degrees at institutions of higher education or those engaged in temporary post graduation employment for optional practical training related to such study.
  • Some other minor pro foreign worker reforms.
