    I-485 approved (EB3/SubstitutionCase/Concurrent Filing)

    Hi guys, by some unbelievable luck, my I-485 apparently has been approved. Mine was a EB3 substitution case. I-140/485 both filed concurrently on August 2003. I thought I would be affected adversely by the visa retrogression for Indian EB3 applicants. But somehow both the I-140 as...

    Missing original ETA 750 for Labor Substitution

    How do I know? Supposedly the USCIS responded to my lawyers on this matter and told them this. I did get an RFE for the original labor cert and my lawyers responded to them. Regarding the LUD, I really don't know as I've never checked that (I don't have my 140 WAC #). So does anyone here...

    Is the EAD issued only after approval of I 140

    You can however, get the interim EADs at the local INS office (at least I got mine without any hassles -- if you don't count lining up at 5am and missing half a day's work a hassle :) )

    Help! I140/I485/AP concurrent in 01/04, AP on hold after I140 RFE

    I also received an RFE on my I140 (EB2, concurrent filing) and my AP and EADs have also not been received (everything filed August 2003). My wife and I, however, received the interim EAD at the Chula Vista office in San Diego without any hassles.

    Changing Jobs before I-140 Approval

    Yes, as far as I know, the CIS has released guidelines indicating that AC21 is applicable only when I-140 has been approved. Check the breaking news sections in www.immigration-law.com and elsewhere for more info. I agree that this totally nullifies the advantages of AC21 given the slow rate...

    Help: need Pre-approved labor

    please explain "bust" What do you mean by I-140 got "busted"? Do you mean denied? If so, why? I know I-140s have become really slow, but didn't realize they were getting denied. Would appreciate more details (e.g. EB2/EB?, Substitution/own LC? Concurrent?, RFEs, dates?) thanks,

    RFE for I-140 (Labor Substitution Case)

    I received an RFE for a Labor Substitution case (the requirements match exactly). According to our lawyers, the RFE requested the original Labor Certification and this apparently our lawyers/company doesn't have. My Lawyers said that this is OK and that there is specific regulations which...
