EB2 or EB3?
It’s a blur when mine started. First, I was switched to H1B. Then they decided not to file for a few years because of a soft labor market. Then filed the LC in 2005 under RIR, which typically took 6 months, but that got shoved to a backlog reduction center for 2 years. Finally applied, I140 and I485 concurrently under EB2 because there are always visa numbers available. Now, it looks like they are lumping everyone together. I hate being close to done and then some stupid cr@p like this happens that pushes everyting back.
Non immigrant alien under NAFTA, changed status to immigrant alien then immediately submitted I-485, all done in one shot early 2005... green card quickly issued after wards...
Just odd that it took so long and then BAM everything was completed at once.
Weird how they operate sometimes.
