Looks like from the posts from the main page that its a love-hate relationship between these job-shops. And the problem is analogous to chicken & egg problem, one can never understand who is insane and one cannot survive without the other.
Also may be this cannot be generalized but must be dealt on case by case basis. As every individual and entity and their circumstantial situation is different.

It depends on which USCIS district you are applying from... but all in all these days between 3-6 months from applying to taking oath. Times for military personnel might vary.
Your country of birth/current citizenship has no bearing on times (unlike for Green Card)
Go here and check the service center closest for N-400 timelines: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/processTimesDisplay.do;jsessionid=bac585
Note: These timelines do no include time for taking oath.

Hi Folks
Assuming & God Willing I get my GC then , how long does it take to get US Citizenship. Does it matter which state you are working in and the Queues , State Wide Differ OR its the same slab.
Can someone point me to the webpage on USCIS that tells you how long the Q is . Does it matter , what your prev. nationality before GC was like to Priority Date my country or no relation.
HOW can I get US Citizenship Fastest ? AND HOW LONG, friends, does it take to get your family here as a dependent of a US Citizen

Hi,
I have been working for company X on an H1-B.
* They filed for an EB-3 Labor Certification (RIR) and I-140 with a priority date of April 2003 on my behalf.
* My H1-B expired in March 2006 and they filed for a 3-year extension, which was approved (till March 2009).
* In the meantime, both my Labor and I-140 were approved. I had been waiting to apply for my I-485 since then.
* Now, I'm switching employers (because of a RIF in company X) to company Y, who were working on making me an offer.
* However, company Y's legal department came back saying that they cannot apply for an H1-B transfer because the current law doesn't allow transfers from an H1-B extension (after the original 6-year H1-B has expired).
Could somebody advise me if this is really true?

Hi,
My spouse (Indian citizen) has received an RFE for her derivative I485 application.
Her birth certificate has a different first name than her passport. We had filed the birth certificate and an affidavit from her parents attesting to the change. But that doesn't seem to be sufficient.
The RFE states:
"Your birth certificate indicates that your first name is XXX and not YYY. Please explain and submit additional documentation in support of your claim".
...
"Copies of the personal pages in your passport OR affidavits are not sufficient to establish a legal name change. Court documents submitted as evidence of name change must have been registered with the proper civil authority".
We now plan to submit the following:
1. Court Affidavit filed by my spouse's father at that time of legal name change, at age 3. This affidavit was before a Sessions Judge in India. This was the legal process of changing her name at that time.
Will this be sufficient? We don't understand what it means for a court document to be registered with the proper civil authority. Can you please advice?
2. My spouse has a Certificate of Age, Domicile and Nationality issued by the State Goverment of Maharashtra that refers to the new first name and also refers to the birth certificate as well, as proof.
Will that count as sufficient "registration with civil authority"?
I would appreciate if someone who has go through this issue would comment on the proper ways of addressing this.
thanks!

I think I am missing something here. Can't you use the level3 wage listed on your link?
Flcdatacenter mentions that one reason for NA jobzone is that you mentioned a very broad occupation.
Would you be able to use:
http://www.flcdatacenter.com/OesQuickResults.aspx?area=45300&code=15-1031&year=9&source=1
or
http://www.flcdatacenter.com/OesQuickResults.aspx?area=45300&code=15-1021&year=9&source=1
so what do we do now..How can we get the accurate wage
http://www.flcdatacenter.com/OesQuickResults.aspx?code=15-1034&area=45300&year=9&source=2
if we go there the jobzone is NA and hence the salary cannot be accurately determined hence by rule just out level 1 wage

Hi Old Monk and GC.....Thank you for your reply. I am canadian citizen by naturalization. Is it a fast process for naturalization (not by birth) Canadian Citizen too? I havn't applied for I-765. As right now, my husband has no intention me to work in USA. Suppose in future if I decide to work...Can I work once my GC will approve, or do I have to have file I-765 to get permission to work?
Its been only one week, since I have mailed my I-485 to Chicago office. I havn't got my reciept yet. So,will wait for another week or so. As someone said on this forum usually it takes 10 days to get the receipt. My question is once I get my receipt can I apply for Social Security and Driving Licence? Can I leave the country to visit my family back home too? Or do I have to wait untill I get my Permanent residence card? As per GC or lets hope for canadian citizen it takes 6-9 months to approve their case. TIA.

First of all if it is PP you will get possible approval in few days.
It may not be a good idea to go for stamping with only 3 months remaining on I-797; and these days they are also issuing 221g left and right.

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
Senator Sessions cannot leave his hands off of E-Verify. Now in "stealth" mode, Senator Sessions has slyly introduced an E-Verify amendment (SB 1371) during today's full Senate vote on the DHS appropriations bill.
The Sessions amendment calls for a permanent reauthorization of the Basic Pilot/E-Verify program, and mandates its use for all federal contractors and subcontractors - including the verification of all existing employees. This amounts to a massive expansion of a program that is still not ready for prime-time.
We must call our Senators and tell them to oppose this sneak attack by Senator Sessions for the following reasons:
It would impose exorbitant costs on businesses at a time when our economy is most vulnerable:
An economic analysis commissioned by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
concluded that the net societal costs of the program would be $10 billion a year
� a cost that would be felt disproportionately by small businesses. It would make Basic Pilot/E-Verify permanent without addressing its well documented database inaccuracies:
A 2007 independent evaluation of the program commissioned by DHS found that
the Basic Pilot/E-Verify database �is still not sufficiently up to date� to meet
the requirements for �accurate verification.�
SSA has estimated that if Basic Pilot/E-Verify were to become mandatory and
the databases were not improved, SSA database errors alone could result in 3.6
million workers a year being misidentified as not authorized for employment.
This would result in 6 out of every 100 workers having to visit an SSA office to
correct their records or lose their job.
It would force workers and businesses to pay a high price for Basic Pilot/E-Verify's inaccuracies:
Queries submitted to Basic Pilot/E-Verify by Intel Corporation in 2008 resulted
in nearly 13 percent of all workers being initially flagged as unauthorized for
employment. All of these workers were cleared by Basic Pilot/E-Verify as
work-authorized, but only after �significant investment of time and money�
and �lost productivity.�We urge all AILA members to call their Congressman today and oppose the Sessions amendment (SB 1371). Don't let Senator Session's stealth tactics create a nationwide crisis for employers!

The expenses for a normal delivery would be between 10-15000$ if everything goes fine.Medicare help is from federal so it would be better if its not taken risking the GC.Usually the hospitals gives some break depending upon family income, so even if its 50% its not bad.Else going to home country but at this stage doesnt look wise.

1. Yes it is true that nurses and physical therapists dont need to undergo any labour certification process. They can file the I140 directly. The only thing that they need to do before filing an I140 is that the hospital in which they are working will have to post an internal ad for 10 days. The ad will display the nurse wage and other details. Once you are done with displaying it for 10 days they can file the I140 directly.
2. Nurse dont fall under H1B category. There is a specail category called T1 visa under which they fall. Since nurse degree is not at par with other graduation degrees like physical therapists they will not fall under H1. Irrespective of that, if the GC is filed for a nurse it will automatically go under the EB3 category.
PTs and nurses had a special provision in 2005 and 2006 where they were getting green card on arrival. It is called a Schedule A category which gave 50k visas to these medical professionals few years back. At that time the requirement for nurse and PT was quite high and that's what caused the Bush administration to introduce those 50k visas. These visa exhausted soon and since Oct 2006 this category is also retrogressed.
We dont know when the nurses and PTs will see the relief again; till then they continue to fall under the long EB3 queue.
Hope that helps

Strictly speaking, she cannot use the AP to enter the US unless she had it in her possession when leaving the US.
Thanks for the quick replay,
So it means that if she dose not have the AP with her while she leave US, she can not use it.
Can she go for the visa stamping in India and enter in H4? would there be any problem if she goes to visa stamping and enter in H4 while her AP is in process/approved.
Thanks again for the suggestion.

Hi,
My brother is in Toronto, Canada for a conference. He has an H1B extension which is not stamped. At the US airport before boarding the toronto flight they took his old expired I-94 (from previous H1B). He currently has his I-797 (H1B) petition that has the I-94 at the end.
1) Can he use that I-94 to enter the US (his new H1B extension is not stamped). His stay is only for 4 days in Toronto.
2) If not then what are his other options (except for H1B stamping as there are no dates in toronto)
Would appreciate any advice as soon as possible.
