lol, well employers of Indians file new I-140s each day, even though everyone knows it will be over 150 years

again my question is not about pd being current or not its about me waiting in [removed] Germany or just stay illegal in the country.

Based on what has been posted to this topic so far, it is looking like waiting in Germany.

That might be true but im talking about EB3s filed while working already in the USA. Im 100% sure that EB3 will be current again on the new fy vb in mid September,we can meet here again then.

 

And i need infos from fellow citizen who recently filed in Germany. I appreciate your input but its not helping me from people who "heard" something you know. But still,thank you

R u considered a refugee in Germany because of parent's nationality?

Most Germans don't hate Germany

A child who is born in Germany generally has the same nationality as its parents or one of its parents. The residence status of the child also derives from ...

He is clearly not a refugee of any kind.

I did EB3 consular processing in Germany in 2019. My I-140 was approved in May and my interview was eventually scheduled in September for mid October.

Ja cool, ist zwar schon etwas her aber das hilft. Hattest du premium gemacht für dein I140? Bist du noch in den USA?

We can only speak in English on this site outside of the country specific threads   Yes did the premium processing. It took quite a while for everything to get to NVC and then there was a slight delay because we were approaching the end of the year and the visa's had run out so thats why it was scheduled for right after the new fiscal year. Yes still happily in the US

Ok cool, i talk to people every day about the retrogression. Im not worried about that. So you had your I140 approved within 2 weeks and your interview in October. If your EB3 would have been current after your I140 was approved im pretty sure the interview would have been earlier. Im on the last step of PERM and at least i have then my pd date, im almost there. What a journey. Thank you for your input.

As mentioned earlier, it could be 6 months if everything goes smoothly, but that is about as quick as it will get going on current processing times. Mine was 5.5 months via London which has no backlog, but things have slowed down at NVC a bit since then though, it’s now taking 6 weeks for Welcome Letters to be sent (was 2 weeks when I applied).  My I-140 was submitted on 8th February, and I got my visa on 20th July.
 

So assume 2 /3 weeks for I-140 if you don’t get an RFE. Then add on a week or two for the case to be sent to NVC. As said above, current processing time is 6 weeks for case creation and for you to be sent a Welcome Letter. If you pay the fees straight away once you have that then that’s a week or so for them to clear before you can complete the DS-260 and submit your docs. 3-4 weeks for becoming Documentarily Qualified (assuming no RFI), you have to add on a week or so to the quoted processing times as you have to mail your documents as an EB applicant. 
 

So that’s around 4 months in total if you do everything straight away and don’t get any RFI’s/RFE’s. Then it’s just waiting for your interview date, medical and interview, if you’re lucky that could be 2-3 months.
 

HTH.

As an aside I am aware of a German Family who successfully claimed asylum.

Nowhere close unfortunately, even with the new fiscal year. Have you got your PERM yet?
