Initially opted for CP..... When i filed my 140, i opted for CP option and after 3 months, the concurrent rule came into effect. While filing the 485, we clearly indicated that we don't want to continue with CP option. Companies are ready to hire people with EAD. Had I been without EAD, i...

Good to go through CP????? All the best!!!! What will happen if your company - God forbid - Lay you off!!! If you have few years remaining on H1 you are fine. If 140 approval takes 1 year and CP takes 4-6 months and your H1 is getting over soon, you are taking a big risk. EAD will protect...

That is upto you! Guys, I have raised this question in several forums and online chats. Everyone says that it is NOT advisable to use portability without an I-140 approval on hand.... I have crossed 180 days of 485 filing and 140 is pending for about 10 months and i am waiting for 140...

06/11 - 140 RD don't beleive these dates. Even if you call INS they will give their own dates, you cannot argue with them why they are processing cases that are more recent, leaving out old cases..

I-485 -- 180th day! Portability not possible! When i started the thread, i had a hope that i will get my 140 approval before i reach the 180th day of filing I-485. Now, i see no light at the end of the tunnel. I-140 RD: June 11 2002 (Pending) EB2 Category I-485 RD: September 19 2002...

Hi there! Did anyone of you hear some trying to use AC-21 , when 485 pending for 180 days and 140 still pending.... Some attorneys like murthy tell that AC-21 should be used only when 140 is approved. 485 Pending for 167 days, 140 pending for 267 days.

Probably this approval is not from VSC! he/she is expecting the LIN#, i think the approval happened in a different centre. BTW, Mr.Reddy what is your RD for 140? Mine is June 11th 2002, EB2 Masters.

What is the current processing date? Did anyone of you know what is the exact processing date for EB2 / EB3 categories (through you attorneys).. The websites show multiple E categories with different dates. On Friday, I called the cong 'man's office and they told INS is processing 03/28/03...

What is the use of EAD? This is not a good news for us at all!!!! No one knows how the AC-21 rule is applicable for concurrent filers..... But, the attorneys says categorically that without approved 140 you can't switch companies using the 180-day (180 days from filing 485)rule. That means...

How did you find that????? Do you have any special program to pickup the approvals. I think one batch of August 14th cases was chosen by an good officer..... They may even approve Jan cases like that! They don't follow any order or logic in opening the cases.

CP to AOS Actually, filed 140 with CP option..... Then, when the concurrent rule came into effect, filed 485.. My I-140 is pending for over 8 months. But, have EAD and AP in hand. I am a consultant working at a client site and position is not secure for the past few months. I feel i will be...

A# is the alien number This number is very important like the SS#. You can see this number in the EAD and i heard from my friends it will be on the Green card too. I used this number (in the Alien# column) while filling the Passport extension papers... One of my other friend told that this...

Give a try! You can contact your local congressman and ask them to enquire about your status. But, the reply is always the same - "We are processing Feb/March cases. It will take a while to take up this candidate's case." I have the same RD of June 11 and i tried thru' the C'man and got the...

Here you go Vivian.....! I searched local.yahoo.com with my zipcode, found the congressman's phone number. It seems they get lot of calls for the speedy process of 140 and 485. They will ask you to send the copy of the receipt notices or any other docs. I don't know whether they are...

More info.... An important note:--- This is own my experience. Please verify the facts through your own and reliable sources. My employer decided to disown me in Nov'02 because my project was coming to an end. He planned not to pay the bench salary and to withdraw my 140 and use my LC...
