Congratulations to you both.

When did you file I-485/EAD/AP? Can you please post some details?

Thanks.
 
My processing center is Nebraska......I-140 was pretty quick. I was not expecting it that quickly though. I have not received any notice yet but that is what the AVM and online message says.

I -140 approved

Hi friends,

My I - 140 got approved. Mine is NOT concurrent filing, I am going to file I - 485 soon.

Here are the details:

EB3 - RIR

RD: 11/26/2002
AD: 02/18/2003
LIN: LIN-03-04451xxx

I want to share my experience with you.

I see some cases got approved in 30 days, so I was expecting mine also approved in around 30 days. But it wasn't like that, and I was so frustated from second week of January. I used to call the INS every week and asked them to about the status of my case. The lady over there was giving same asnwer every time (i.e. she can share the information only to the Lawer or the Sponseror). I used to check the status online ones in every 10 min. on average.

At one point The Lady at the INS told me, "Sir, It is showing you made a call last week, any way the answer is same". I was little bit disappointed. Again I called the next week, the Lady over there said, "Sir, at this point we are doing End of October cases. I am telling you it is taking more time to process. So don't expect any thing about your case sooner.".

That was happend on 14th of this month. I decided not to call them and also decided not to check my status online more often. I started checking my case only 5 times a day. I did the same on Monday, on Tuesday I checked it at around 6:00PM and there is no difference in the status. But around 11:30PM, just before going to bed, I checked it again surprisingly the status was saying "This case has been approved on 18th Feb".
Immideately I checked the AVM, but the AVM is saying the same old story. This morning both AVM and ONLINE saying same that my case has been approved.

THESE ARE MY CONCLUSIONS:
1. Yes, they do track how many time you are calling. But it wont effect any thing.
2. ONLINE is more upto date than AVM.
3. ONLINE status will be updated every day in the late evenings.
4. AVM is will be updated only after two days. ?!?!?!?


Any way friends, I am happy that my case is approved and hope the same with you.
 
I-140 Approved within 20 business days

I-140/EB2
RD: Jan-23-2003
AD: Feb-18-2003.

I really think that the INS folks in Nebraska did a great job! They also approved my H1B renew within 30 days last year.

Have not filed I-485 yet.

Keep it on, folks!

Another happy person,

I 140 newbie

My I-140, EB3/RIR was FedEx’ed by my attorneys to Nebraska service center on Feb 18th.

I would like to understand the abbreviations used in this thread.


What is ND...?

Am i correct in assuming RD is received date ….
And AD is Approved date

-Thank you,
Rajan
 
Good luck to you all!

thanks dev28 & thk,

Actually I did not call the center at all. My attorney said that will only slow the case down if you talk to a 'live' person regarding your case. (Not sure why, maybe they pull the case out and tell you the status then drop it back to the end of queue again?). I was checking the online status occational, cause I did not expect it to be done by April, according to the published 'processing date'. Well, boooo, it's done!

I still think that they did a great job, according to my own experiences with the INS Nebraska center. I would recommend to use the online status check instead of the phone line to check the status.

Good luck to you all, and see you guys in I-485 soon!

Dev28 & grapefruit

Dev28, My attorney never called them. He always tell that it will take 4 months at the most, and will call them only after 4 months. But I used to call them very often. Any way good luck to you.

grapefruit, I do agree with you. I think that helped you clear your case in 20 days. Congratulations.



I don't suggest any one to call then INS for the updates. Better to check ONLINE or AVM
