I-140 Texas Service Center, a uniquely Messed up case of I-140. Please guide
I-140 (Outstanding Prof. and Researcher, Employment Based)
Receipt Date October 22, 2002
Issue of RFE September 15, 2003 (Gave 90 days to respond, deadline December 15, 2003)
Approval October 27, 2003 (Before hearing anything in response to RFE)
Now what to do: Respond to RFE or accept the case as approved. Employer asked for the clarification from USCIS, if it was required to respond to RFE or ACCEPT THIS CASE AS APPROVED PETITION. IN RESPONSE TO THE CLARIFICATION, AGAIN THEY CHANGED MY STATUS ON NOVEMBER 23, 2003 STATING “we received your response to our request for evidence or information. It is taking between 275 and 300 days for us to process this kind of case. However because preliminary processing was complete, the remaining processing time will be less than the maximum stated in this message. You will receive a written decision on this case”. IT WAS NOT A RESPONSE TO RFE.
