Is it worth upgrading I-140 application to premium processing? USCIS received both 485 and 140 in Jan and receipt date says April for both.

Yes. I got my I-140 approved in like two days with premium processing.

Well, it won’t change that much in timeline, but if the Indian lobby manages to pass a law revoking country caps, you may end up wishing you had your 140 approved earlier since some of the laws proposed would have carried a consequence of 10Y+ wait for anyone without 140 approved at the time.

Last year it was an inch away from passing, so if you are ROW I wouldn’t doubt about upgrading

Well with the new Congress cycle with Biden all these laws need to be reintroduced. But believe me, some will get reintroduced and their lobby machine is insane (anyone who followed the harassment to Dick Durbin knows what I am talking about).

So you’ll likely be ok, but I’d definitely rush to at least have 140 approved and 485 filed

Yes, it’s worth it. Got 140 approval in 4 days with PP.

Thanks!!

Wow! It took 3+ months to get a receipt?

I have an interview for a LTC/Rehab Nurse Manager, Infection Preventionist position next week. My base salary is $40/hour as a charge nurse. With overtime I’ll be finishing the year about $15000 above my base pay. I have questions: first, I know I’ll be putting in at least the same number of hours I’m current working (50+/wk). How do I leverage that to avoid a pay cut. Also, any tips from people in this position?

I transferred firms to EY almost a year ago. I’m currently a SA1. I recently got my H1-B extension. Is it reasonable to assume that EY will start my GC application once I’ve been with the firm for a year? Or do I need to be at a higher rank or have less time left on my H1-B for them to get the process started?
