485 Approved! Our 485s have also been approved !! I received the approval notices today. I'm so thankful that they didn't drag this out for as long as what the online status said a few days ago! Basically, both the 140 and 485 were approved within 75 days of the 'appeal' approval. (The appeal...

hi, my 140 was denied mainly due to ability to pay and a few other minor technicalities/lawyer mistakes. We were able to overcome the ability to pay issue on the appeal by proving that I was paid the contracted (as in LC) salary - in the first year of employment I only worked for 9 months...

update My I-140 has been approved! Though they took 60 days to 'receive' the AAO decision, atleast they approved it right away. They have re-opened the 485 (which was previously denied along with the 140) application but not approved it. The online status on this one says that it takes...

re: Thanks, UN for your prompt reply as always. My lawyer isn't offering to do it for free - it comes with a price tag - I think the fee is disproportionate to the work involved in filing that application and that is why I'm hesitant...being a well reputed firm, their fees are always on the...

Hi UN, 60 days after getting an approval on the appeal from AAO, I finally see an update on my previously denied 140 and it reads: "On January 14, 2005, we received this case back from the Administrative Appeals Office. If any further action is appropriate, we will notify you when it is...

Hi, It won't hurt to file an H1 extension application..infact, it will help if any issues were to come up during your 140 processing or,if for any reason, your 140 gets denied down the line(based on your lawyer's comments), your EAD will become instantly invalid (though you can still appeal the...

re: baltimore case UN, thanks for the link. the latest update on that case (as per the link) seems to be that it was approved by AAO...has there been a subsequent rejection of this decision??

Thanks for your reply. But, the more you write, the more questions I have - so, please bear with me and respond to the foll: 1. How do you say that 485 processing dates are current for me and not for you? 2. Was that alarming 'baltimore' case a 'reversal' of a successful 140 appeal? 3...

quick questions: how long do they take to approve once you make a request to re-open 485 based on AAO decision ? what is the admissability issue you are talking about?

Hi UN, I still have a valid 'pending' H1 extension and the latest query on it gives me time till mid-Jan '05 to respond. I also have an approved EAD - I don't know what constitutes switching to 'EAD' from a 'H1' status - I don't it is the mere fact of having an approved EAD - I would think one...

My H1 Extension was filed before the denial of my original 140 - just a month before my 6 years was to expire and I had a valid pending 140/485 at the time

To UN UN, Thankyou. For the pro-rated wage issue, we basically did the math on the appeal - Showed a monthly salary based on annual salary (as per labor)divided by 12 and start date with the employer (March) and established that the income as per W2 represented 9 months worth of salary for the...

We filed MTR along with appeal. Did the re-filing couple of months later (we decided to re-file once the MTR was rejected and the case was forwarded to AAO)

I just got an email from my attorney that AAO has sustained my appeal! This means that the original denial has been overturned by AAO.. I'm not sure what the timeline is for CSC to approve my 140 and re-open the original 485 for processing.. UN knows my case details very well.. for others...

Ead Hi UN, My EAD was finally approved last week. Interestingly, I had just filed my response to the H1 Extn RFE.. I guess the outcome of that doesn't matter that much. Since the EAD approval is for the application that was part of the concurrently re-filed 140/485/EAD on June 10, 2004 (and...

Re: IEAD Thanks to both apollo 13 and UN for replies. UN, We were going to apply for interim EAD last week (we had just crossed 90 days) when we received this 'signature' RFE. We responded rightaway and decided not to go for interim EAD for 2 reasons - one, we were not sure if they will...

Question re. unusual but simple RFE on I-765 (EAD) I just got an RFE on my 765 stating that our signatures (my spouse's and mine) are not ok for the EAD card card making machine and asking us to sign within a small rectangular 'box' with instructions that no part of the signature should go...

After 5 months of applying for my 7th yr extn, my employer has received a huge RFE - 3 pages long - position details, past hiring practices, similar jobs in other companies, quarterly wage reports, employee list, org chart, lease agreements, co photos, tax returns and what not...... unbelievable...

To United nations Thankyou so much for your response. I will check out the link you've mentioned re. AAO appeal. I really appreciate your prompt input and help.

Important Question for Unitednations-Please respond I don't know if you remember my case details - here it is in a nutshell: Pending 7th year extension application, my 140 was denied (2 weeks before my 6yr term was going to end), appeal filed and also re-filed 140/765/485 concurrently. Appeal...
