    Good point. It begs the question what happens if similar situation happens to us in EB2/EB2-NIW category like somebody gets AP'd but after getting clearance they run out of quota??
  2. Coco_2023
    Your lawyer is wrong! Neither NIW endeavor types including persoanl (worker/employee) nor entrepreneurship (those who have had their own company and employees for several years before applying) don't need a sponsor

    Seems like adding more staff would be the only reason that justifies this huge leap which is great LOL

    Thanks @TheMaverick I'm facing a similar challenge with obtaining a new police certificate from my home country. It typically takes 2-3 months for it to be issued due to extensive bureaucracy
  5. Coco_2023
    Agreed. I am also wondering if we are allowed to bring that much documents ie books, articles, etc. with us to the consulate
  6. Coco_2023
    @TheMaverick Does your police cert from your home country state an expiry date e.g. 6 month, etc.?
  7. Coco_2023
    Anybody in the EB2-NIW crew got the lowdown on what extra docs we need to bring for this interview aside from the ones listed in the interview check list, since I hear some folks are asked to show the original or cerificied copies of their academic and other merit based documets during the interview? I'm asking since some folks like myself in EB2-NIW specifically might need a suitcase for all the eligibility documents submitted to USCIS initially. It's just to stay prepared in case the officer throws a random request our way. Gotta be ready for anything:)

    @Froozion You're right but there are concerns in my case, one that I can't find a definitive description of what "...have not returned..." means in their statement ie does it mean residency there for 6 months+, or just visiting for a shorter period of time, etc. 2nd, it clearly states "this cert expires in 6 months" in my police certificate that I've got 1 year ago for my back home thru it's embassy, so I'd appreciate it if anybody can share their experience of a similar case

    That's great news since the latest ILs Montreal sent out were for July-August 2022 DQs, if I'm not mistaken. Not sure if the processing time for EB2-NIW and EB2 subcategories are the same though. (I am EB2-NIW too) @Froozion Am I right?

    Congratulations @Adam RS for the invite! Are you in EB2-NIW category or EB2, and what's your filing date?
  11. Coco_2023
    Gee, this means that I'm looking at roughly a year from now to get an interview...and another 4-11 months for DS-5535😦
  12. Coco_2023
    Thanks a lot. A question though - how do I check my case on USCIS status portal (with A# number)? I just became current on the latest visa bulletin so I am expecting the IL, perhaps in a few months hopefully...

    This actually hasn't happened to me or anybody I know (fortunately!) I'm just wondering to see what is waiting for us at the end of this dark tunnel and what the odds are, since I am almost certain that I'm getting 221g too at the interview day
  14. Coco_2023
    Hi everyone - Has there been anybody whose EB2 visa was "rejected" (as opposed to "refused") after a few months of getting a 221g/DS-5535, regardless if WOM is filed or not?
  15. Coco_2023
    Thanks for sharing this. Looks like Seoul has issued 417 visas which is the highest number in E2 category in the world, but the rest of the posts are mostly single digits!!
  16. Coco_2023
    January visa bulletin looks promising, if they don't get retrofitted again in the next few months though LOL Do we have a rough estimate of the time gap from becoming current and the first batch of interview invites?
  17. Coco_2023
    Thank you so much @Texasbound1 I thought they'd ask for all my international travels from Canada to other destinations than the States so I should have got it from Canada or something
  18. Coco_2023
    Hi @ALL Does anybody know how to get a 5yr travel history for the interview since seems like it is frequently asked during the interview so I'd like to get prep'd?
  19. Coco_2023
    Congrats! So happy for you @topman I think I'm gonna need to file the WoM lawsuit as well. Did you file it thru Hacking firm? How much in total did the whole thing cost in USD?
  20. Coco_2023
    Oh, I forgot to mention, those who have educational background or worked in the "TAL" like myself who have a PhD in AI and am working in this field are subject to another security check called "Visas Mantis"...
  21. Coco_2023
    I did a bit of research in terms of Administrative Processing (AP) especially to see why and for whom it gets initiated and found the following links super informative, so sharing them here hopefully they would be helpful. https://www.greencardlawyers.com/answers_for/VisaProcessing/visasecuritychecks.html#The Visas Condor: Heightened Security Checks https://www.greencardlawyers.com/answers_for/VisaProcessing/TALFieldsList.html https://immigration.dinsmore.com/faq/travel/security-advisory-opinions According to this, and reading some statistics here and there, the chances of me getting into the "Condor" security check which is done as part of AP would be %99 due to my field of work/education in addition to the fact that I was born in "T-7" countries and as it states it doesn't matter if I've got my Canadian citizenship nor the fact that I moved to Canada when I was 11. @topman, @RKD, @Gha, @farzady, @Benham Are you guys still in AP?
  22. Coco_2023
    ROW = Rest Of the World (applicants who are born in any country other than China, India, Philippines) NIW = National Interest Waiver (a category of employment based immigration visa which you don't need a sponsor. Hope this helps.
  23. Coco_2023
    I've traveled to the States 2 times from Canada since I got DQ'd once flew and once drove, there was no issue at the border whatsoever
  24. Coco_2023
    Do we know how many E2 cases that are already DQ'd pending for an interview in Montreal?
  25. Coco_2023
    @mymissingpiece How much did the WoM cost for you in total? Did you file it thru a lawyer or by your own?
