Anya, dancingdesert - I think it seems to be common to have a gap between the primary and spouse's approval especially when the spouse's I-485 ND and/or FP dates are different (like in my spouse's case). I think pushing USCIS helps. I am planning to call USCIS and raise an inquiry. Also, writing...

I took a nice long break for the long weekend :) Thanks everyone! It's been great to be part of this forum and I'll certainly stick around for the company ;) Looks like USCIS went on a frenzy July 1st especially on EB1 and EB2 cases. Guess part of it had to do with the EB3 dates? Here's...

Thanks Paul, Pallu. Good luck for your approvals and hang in there, you'll be there soon. Paul I got the same response on 485 last week that it is pending the final review stage and then 1 week later got the approval. I think that is a good sign. Pallu you'll hear about your status check...

I-140 and I-485 concurrent approval!! I just saw online on my case status that both my I-140 and I-485 have been approved concurrently! What a relief after this long 3-year process and waiting for more than 13 months for my I-140. As I mentioned before, I had initiated a case status inquiry...

RFEs seem to be taking longer than they used to. I am waiting since end of march (almost 3 months) after responding to ability-to-pay RFE. I asked my lawyer to initiate an enquiry last week. You could do the same. You can also contact the local Senator/Congressman in your area requesting a case...

consolidating EB-2 filed in 2004 and not approved yet! I have consolidated the list of all EB-2 users listed in the tracker for which no I-140 approval info is recorded yet. Anyone below heard anything regarding approval or initiated enquiry with VSC/contacted congressman etc? [ someone...

consolidating EB-2 filed in 2004 and not approved yet! Congrats to those who got recent approvals! Well, if you want to know about EB2 cases still in line, look at mine, am waiting since may '04 for my I-140 :mad: Stuck for almost 3 months after I sent a response to my RFE. I have...

Really hard to detect any logic in VSC's processing :) Take a look at I-140 tracker and there are people with I-140485 NDs in end 2004 and 2005 who have gotten both 140 and 485 approved ! and here we are... Thanks for the info about congressman, wheretogo

Congratulations, positive4gc on your approval! Wheretogo, could you please give details of 1) how you found out which congressman to contact 2) how you got in touch with them (phone/email?) and what exactly you mentioned. Good luck to you!

congratulations.

From what I have read in this forum, having an H-1 7th year extension gives you more flexibility if the I-140 gets denied (like you can stay and continue to work in the US while filing an MTR/appeal). You can also apply for an EAD based on your filed I-140, but I am not sure if you can file...
