Applicant background:
- 2nd term H1b
- 7 years experience before current job
- master degree in computer science
- 3 years in Ph.D. program but did not finish
- Software Architect for the current company
2 PWDs
- Green card process started in Oct 2015.
- The first lawyer always told us that everything is on schedule but
eventually we found she actually did nothing so we switched to a new
attorney
- PWD is eventually filed in Jul 2016.
2 Recruiting processes: The first job recruiting does not meet the salary
requirement on PWD
Delayed PERM filing: 2nd recruitment was finished in Oct 2016 the PERM was
not filed until Jan 2017
EAD/AP with mistakes
- My EAD/AP were both approved on the same date in Sept 2017. But the card I
received does not have AP notice on it. It forced me to cancel two oversea
trips.
- Raised 3 SR to request a correction. The amended AP arrived in late Oct 2017
InfoPass
- After case was transferred to NBC for almost 3 months without any further
info I went InfoPass and the officer told me that my case was scheduled
that day and it will be a month (sharp) later.
Interview
- The interview process went pretty well. The officer did not ask a lot of
questions.
- However, he did ask me to present official birth certificate from
*government*. My certificate was from the hospital with gov stamp on it,
which, according to him, is not a valid document for birth cert.
- After checking with the process guideline (w/ attorney) and his
supervisor, my birth cert is indeed a valid document.
- He also did NOT take any documents from me (not even the birth cert)
- Note: the officer had a very serious poker face at beginning. He became a
very warm/nice man when we were almost done.
Approval
- case was approved a day later
- card ordered the same day
- paper approval notice received three days later
- card received 8 days later
Final words: 不知道總時程花了 28 個月正不正常。幾乎每一步都有出錯。連到了
interview 當天，前面排隊的人都很正常，排到我的時候取票機還壞掉了。只好臨時手
寫一張號碼牌給我們。不過還好最後的結果是好的。祝還在等待的人一切順利早早轉綠。
謝謝大家
