EB2/3 India, PD Sept 2013. Finally GC approved.

After being in the US for over 20 years and working for the past 18 years and numerous H1B renewals/stamps and 2+ EAD/AP renewals.

- April 2008: Switched to H1B

- Nov 2008: PERM filed

- 2011: PERM audited and rejected. Lawyers never informed until asked.

- Sept 2013: PERM filed, Got EB2 I140 in ~2014. Lost around 5 years in PD date :(

- Oct 2020: India Filing Dates become current for EB3. Filed concurrent I-140 and I-485 under EB3.

- Summer 2022: PD becomes current in July/Aug. Case was picked up in late Aug, State Dept ran out of visas in Sept and dates retrogressed to 2011/2012. CRP status. This was frustrating and painful as folks from 2014 PD got GC. No order was followed here.
