    Sample AC21 claim letter

    Thanks for the information. Does anyone know what I should provide for "Petition or Claim Receipt #" on Form G-639. I think this should be the Labor Certificate petition number. But since I don't have the access to the petition, I'm not sure what I should put down for this. Any suggestions?

    Hi, could you please share how you get information on your case? Do you mean you had contacted IO? I am in the same boat and the customer service people just won't transfer my call to IO saying that since the published date is before my receipt date, there is nothing they can do. It's so...

    IMP question: Filed 485 without Employment Letter!!!

    Yes, I did get my receipt last week. Per my lawyer, USCIS will probably ask for the EVL later on during the process. Good luck to all of us.
