Greencards - processing August 2001!
Hi guys,
My dad works in New Orleans, LA. Anyway he applied for his greencard in June last year expecting he would have it buy now. At the moment he is on a work visa which he has to renew every to years.
Anyway he thought he would have the Greencard by this June, turn out thats not the case. After getting the run around he managed to speak to someone and got told that they are currently processing Greencard applications for August 2001!!! So theres a good 2 year delay.
Hes now had to reapply for another 2 year work visa and pay $1000 for premium processing of his work visa so he can still legally work after June.
Just thought I'd share this story as some might find it useful/helpful interms of planning things.
Cheers
James

Quick question do renewed green cards take long, when I got my last one 10yrs ago I just went to Memphis and got it, I need to get my new one next year will it be a long process too?

Waited two years so far, it will be at least another two. It's a lot quicker if you're married to a USC. The rest of us are cash cows for the INS.
