Not true. PD printed on my approved 485 notice is the filing date of the substitutes labor (and not my 140 filing date).

Stamped today at San Antonio .. added details to the tracker. The officer told me it will take 3 to 6 months to get plastic card but if you do not get it by the end of the year come back next year and we will extend your stamp ... :D :cool:

Unlike in India, the US Bachelors degree can only be education of 4 years. Unless your labor says that the employer will accept Bachelors Degree or its equivalent, you cannot prove equivalency to US Bachelors with a 3 year indian Bachelor and 1 year experience etc. The issue is not the...

I am a substitute labor case and even though I do not have a copy of 140 approval, but I do have a copy of 485 approval and the PD in that is same as the labor filing date of the substitutes labor. Every case whether it is substitute or your own labor, the PD of the case is the labor filing...

Once your 485 is approved your AP and H1B are invalid. You can go to murthy.com and look in FAQs. I dont know what the exact woridng of the law is, but this is the interpretation of all lawyers.

What you said is true. As soon as you start EAD, you loose H1B. so you will have to work on EAD with your full time employer also. If 140 is approved, I would say go for it, else I would wait till 140 is cleared.

I dont think you have much chance but many people have tried and some have got approved with 3 year degree and something else making equivalency (only for EB3 category). I think the wording in labor is important and how the actual degree is related to the skill requirement in labor is also...

Their response comes in about 2-3 months. So sit tight.

Not entirely true. My wife had sent an email in September 1st week and received response on October 19th that her name check is not done. She has sent another request again last week (after my 485 got approved and hers did not).

Try talking to the customer service and tell them that your 485 should be reopened automatically. I have been in your situation and know how it feels. When my 140 was reopened, my 485 was reopened, but my wifes was not. I kept calling them every day. Finally I got to talk to someone in VSC (this...

Sometimes (in fact most times) USCIS does not record the lawyer change correctly. My 140 was denied and I filed MTR through a lawyer (there was no lawyer in my case previously). I have talked to VSC Customer Service and I asked them about something related to 140. She told me it will go to my...

What language is this to be used on this board. Moderator, please delete this post and expell this filth from here.

I would suggest that when you enter you use your H1B. as far as I-94 is concerned, when your extension will be approved, you will also get a new extended I-94. So it does not matter.

I got approved on 12/17/2004, the approval letter was mailed according to online status on 12/17/2004, but was actually stamped on 12/21/2004 and was received by me on 01/03/2005.

I meant to say if you are not outside already. I think you were in India when your case got approved. Of course in this scenario it is not your fault. If you are aware that your GC has been approved and you are willingly violating that law, that is different :)

I have sent the request yesterday only. I will post details once I receive them.

I have made a FOIA request today to get a copy of my 140 petition. Actually I have everything except the approval notice. I sent the application without notarizing it as it clearly says to skip Step 7 if filing a FOIA request.

I received my approval notice today. I had contacted USCIS Customer Service at VSC again today as my case was approved on 12/17/2004 and it had been 15 days since then. I told the lady that I have not received the notice and she made a duplicate request. My 485 status again got updated in the...

Yes my 485 got approved after a successful MTR.

Dependent category and priority date is decided by the primary applicants category, priority date and country of birth. So if you are say an Indian and your spouse is born in Canada, and you are the primary, even she is affected. If it was the other way around, then it would have been fine.
