H1B - Alberta PNP File Number / Certificate Timeline

[vegasbaby]

Hello my fellow AINP hopefuls / already nominated people,


I got an acknowledgement email from AINP on April 21st of '09 with file number. The email says that the decision will be made in 8 months! Are they taking more time now because of the number of applicants? I have some questions (I am NOC 2171 candidate) -

1. Do we really need to stay on H1 during the assessment period? I have changed employers since the application was submitted. Economy is bad as everyone knows. I may go back to India resulting in H1 cancellation. Attorney told me that my status was locked at the time of pre-assessment. What do you feel?

2. I have stayed in 7 states - Texas, Iowa, NJ, PA, CA, OH, IL. This statewise police clearance will be a pain I suppose. I now stay in California. I can't go to each state for finger printing. Texas' finger printing locations are in-state. That is a problem. Does anyone have experience with that? What is the validity period of police clearances? Since I have 7 states and I may go back to India, I was planning to start with police clearances now.

3. Also what are the chances of denial by AINP? I have 5+ years of work experience in US and a MS degree. 2 more years of work experience in India. I am on H1b.

Thanks and regards.

Yes I think I went through the pre-assessment process. I got an invitation to apply from Alberta. Now, I don't remember if I applied under 2171 or 2283. I have asked that question to the attorney and I think it is 2283 (Still waiting for the answer though). Thanks

Why is everybody forgetting the latest timing -----> 4 month + 4 month = 8 months. On top of that, as time passes, it will only go up not down.

 

[Jacaranda]

why will it go up, they've essentially majorly reduced the number of applications from now on by updating the NOC list. So they have all the time to process feb, march, april applicants now.... Im not saying it will go down, but it shudnt go up.....

I think you are very close. I sent the application on Mar 2nd and file # was received on April 21st.

I still see 2171 in the updated NOC list. Who says that computer engineers are not in the list anymore?

This is something which should be considered by nomination waiting Indian Nationals. India needs you, your talent, your expectations, your dream to drive a Land Rover. Watch and Inspire:

I agree it should'nt go up. The time they started this process, it was just a pilot program and not that popular, and that is why the processings were faster. Now they have come up with more realistic timelines and they also have cut down the list of NOC to balance application loads.

I am not sure if i am mistaken, but 2171 is not there in the list at http://www.albertacanada.com/immigration/media/h1b_AINP_Occupations_Under_Pressure_List.pdf
