Follow-up
Thanks Jaxen!! That was really helpful.
I just had a follow-up though. From your reply, I gather that I will not have a problem even if I sit at home doing nothing until my EAD renewal is approved. When I mean a problem, I am referring during the time of approval of my 485.
EAD Approval
Wow!! Congrats, that's pretty fast.
Did you also send supporting documentation? If so, can u post the date u sent the supporting documentation and whether you used FEDEX or USPS?
Thanks
My 485 has been pending for a year now. I have an EAD which I have not used so far and is expiring next month. I have applied for renewal only one month before it is due to expire. I know it takes about 2-3 months for approval of the renewal.
The question I have is this:
Since I am still on...
INS processing of Applications
I think a lot of people who have filed recently got fingerprint notices within a few weeks. Even I got my fingerprint notice within three weeks.
But I am not sure that means the processing is going to be any faster or different.
New H-1 and not transfer of H-1
Sandy02 is right, except that I think a new H-1 has to be applied. You cannot transfer your old H-1 because it is no longer valid.
Yes, to lcstatus05@doleta.gov
You should leave the subject blank.
The syntax to request case status follows:
In the body of the message type:
Case YourCaseNumber for example:
Case 12345678...
Yes, in my case too...
It took more than a month to get updated in the DOL system. Also, when I used the Employer Tax ID, I did not get anything back. Instead, I used the company\'s official telephone number.
Yes, it was a holiday on account of President\'s day...,
..but they have updated the processing of last Friday today. There have been some approvals in the early 600 series.
On the INS web site....
.... there is a dictionary of Job Codes. It gives a detailed description of the job code. You can do a search on the keyword "Dictionary".
No standard time frame
There is no standard time frame. If you are lucky, your status may be updated immediately. My case was received in Chicago DOL on 11/28/2001 but updated only on 01/07/2002.
The number you mentioned in your previous post was different
The number you specified in your second post has not yet been processed so far. DOL has not come so far yet.
