    1-1.5 month from DQ to IL 6-8 weeks from IL to IV However, some people had to wait 4-6 months to get IL too. I am travelling, and tried updating the timeline but was having some issues. I will retry it once I am home in a week. Thanks.

    For the consular interview for EB1a, do we have to print all the proofs we sent during the i140 submissions, not the degrees but the stuffs like the papers we published, the citations we got, the media mention etc? all my letters of recommendation were pdf form, should i print and bring those too?

    Mumbai is slightly less time, around 8 months(AFAIK). Montreal : https://ca.usembassy.gov/immigrant-visa-process/ As of January 14, 2025, most Immediate Relative and fiancé(e) visa cases being scheduled for interview in Montreal were documentarily complete at the National Visa Center in September 2024; most Family Preference cases with visa numbers available that are being scheduled for interview were documentarily qualified in October 2024; and most Employment cases scheduled for interview were documentarily complete in January 2024.

    The wait varies based on visa categories and also countries.

    Have you notified NVC?

    Thank you, i got DQ couple of weeks ago. In the DQ notice, they mentioned things like what I should also plan to bring eg other income, assets, proof of current job. I thought as EB applicants we did not require these. Or was it a standard template everyone gets?

    EB1A

    Jumboeggs replied to saipem's topic in Work Visas

    i strongly agree. However, one way a nurse could be eligible for EB1a is if that person has conducted a lot of research. In the US, I often come across nurses at public health conferences, where they are presenting baseline clinical research e.g. reducing risks of nosocomial infections by handwashing adoption . So the scope is there, but as @appleblossom said, the cut off is much higher for eb1a applicants, so OP will have to showcase extensive research, lots of citations, proof of major contribution, and proof of peer reviewer roles(judging roles).

    every case is different, i got eb1a approved, my profile is just over 1000 citations, around 130 peer reviews done. I get invites to peer review 2-3 times per week, so the 130 was over 3-4 years tbh. I was also invited to peer review major US conference abstracts, this was around 40 (but not in the 130). i personally believe 50 is a good number.

    Last time he paused all employment based green card processing (during covid). Reckon any such extreme measures immediately? or a more sustainable approach like the RAISE act he tried to put in place, but couldnt because he didnt control the house(he might this time).

    Browsing through reddit and other social media, and seeing lots of panic with the current election results. Are we really expecting more administrative processing and longer timelines?

    i have another occupation too , and i asked that to my lawyer and they said that the consular officer is more interested in what criteria you met and what you'll do in the US rather than what you did as work back home, and they are confident it wont be an issue. I also know of doctors who got eb1a, but petitioned to work as researchers, and they were doing research as a secondary thing. So you get the gist. I am in process of filing my ds260 and will report everything properly. better to over report than under.

    Congrats!!! so it took you almost 50 days to get your visa appointment! How many months ahead is the KL interview? Thats probably a big relief for your isnt it. Best of luck

    How long has it been?

    I joined groups with the region name and US in that, then i left the ones that were dead/inactive. And most in that group are not EB category, so I had to go through posts.

    During the background check after submitting the ds260, does the USCIS contact the people who signed the recommendation letters? Should I give them a heads up that they might be expecting a call from the USCIS? All letters I submitted just talked about my work, and did not mention any promise of any future job they are offering. I know that letters showing potential job offers can get checked.

    I went on the FB group for Jbrg and there we have more credible info: One person had PD october 13 2023, DQ Feb 7 2024, IV Aug 15. So 6.5 months for EB1a. I feel the person who told me a longer period mixed his DQ and his PD.
  19. Jumboeggs
    For ROW, EB1(current), someone had a DQ of Jan end and iv this month, unless he lied on the dates. I prepared myself to wait that long to avoid disappointments. I hope I am wrong and we dont have to wait so long.

    Thanks, i think i will just skip the lawyer part. I have started filling my ds260. For the social media, they even included Whatsapp now btw (because it has a status portion, which counts as social media rather than private messaging). I have a twitter account that I share with others where we often post our accepted projects, it was set up by someone else, but I took over and linked it with my email, but the description says my name and the whole team. The DS260 portion mentioned that multi-user accounts do not need to be added. My brain says "don't add", but just wanted to confirm.

    Not surprising as it seems that based on posts i have seen on reddit and other social media, people from backlogged places including Pakistan, are transferring there in big numbers. Such transfers also caused a backlog in South Africa, where at present the waiting time is 9-10months(used to be 4months last year). Country of origin, place of interview, travel history, and just the consular officer.
  22. Jumboeggs
    Did you have anything in your background? eg. travel to any high scrutiny country etc?
  23. Jumboeggs
    Yeah, i have heard that they usually ask for an updated cv to add to the file. Was it DS-5535?

    I got my police clearance certificates finally, and can proceed to start my ds260 and so on. I have a question, i never got my online access code for the uscis account. I asked a live person via Emma, and they told me " The I-140 is not compatible with the USCIS online account. You will not get an access code for it". I created my uscis account last year for another petition that i withdrew back then. Is it important to have a uscis account or have my approved petition on that? i will rehire my lawyer to handle this part too as there is too much at stake.

    Congrats!!! Was the one month in AP because of the quota being exhausted(ie waiting for new FY)? Or were you from a country that usually does more background check?
