thanks, bettyboop!- and i really am hoping that your approval will come through very soon!

This is a record i don't want to hold:o beside one other person who had there papers filed wrong, I don't know anyone who has waited as long as we have.

Here's hoping the next few stages are the shortest.

Although i joined OGP in June 2004 actually started this whole process in September 2003 on my own, only went with OGP because they offered green cards for all the family, I see them as a means to an end and nothing more.

That sounds awful:imbar , but we all have our own agenda, as do OGP. Just relieved to see some of us with OGP are at last receiving their I-140's. Fingers crossed any day now.

It's a shame you signed up with OGP on the basis they offer green cards for the family. This is not something peculiar just to OGP.....your family still get a green card even if you go through the immigration process independently, with no agency involved. OGP weren't interested in me when I first started the process, reason being I was working as a Community Nurse and they would only accept nurses who were currently working in a hospital environment. They ended up doing me a favour because I went for direct hire and my husband got a green card also, even though he hasn't got a job (yet).....and from start to finish, took me 17 months. And it doesn't sound awful that you see them as a means to an end......there's plenty of :twocents: in it for them, they are not doing you any big favours, don't let them tell you otherwise. Good luck and I hope you hear something soon :)

Hello everyone, Finally my attorney filed I140/485 concurrently with NSC. The receipt notice for I140 states "Immigrant petition for Alien Worker" section: Skilled worker or Professional, Sec.203 (b)(3)(A)(i) or (ii).

The question I have is that my I-140 receipt notice DOES NOT mention anywhere about Schedule A for Nurses. Would anybody help ADVISE looking at your I-140 what it states? does it state Schedule A or does the Sec mentioned is SAME for you all?

Any help would greatly releif my anxiety. Thanks a Ton.
