Posts:2Hello all,
I've been reading this forum everyday for about a couple of months now, and
finally decided to register. I am a EB2I PWMB with a PD of 04May07. I was
hoping that my PD will get current this September, but like everyone was
disappointed. Anyways, kudos to all the gurus for the great number crunching
that you do and the other members as well. I really appreciate the
camaraderie on this forum.
I have some information that I wanted to share - a lot of people from the
company (in SanDiego) that I work for, have moved to A (in Cupertino). There
was a sudden need for people with experience here and so the company
decided to bring a bunch of people from the branch in India, promising them
that they would file GCs for them in EB1. These are not very senior guys
either and have about the same experience as me. Over the past 3 months, I
have seen several people who came here from the India branch. Our company
filed for them in EB1 and to my surprise almost all of them got FP notices
by now. And I thought to myself - here I am slogging for five years, and
most likely will have to wait for one more.
I have read posts about Kazarian memo and how difficult things are for
filing in EB1, but I guess that only applies for students/researchers who
got their PhD here. I wonder what kind of restrictions exist / how strict
USCIS is about the applications filed for manager positions in EB1.
Apparently, our company lawyers seem to have found a quick way to get around
those! Not very fair IMHO, and I am a victim of this as well!!
