140 Approved EB3 10/16/03
- Thread starter pdwantgc
- Start date
My ND is about 5 days after yours.
With the recent issues around the new procedures the service centers are implementing, I'm not sure should I be glad or not about the possibility of getting my i140 approved soon
.
At least it provides AC21 protection.
Congrats and good luck with your i485 !!!

Seems to me that unless you want to leave the position for which the I-140 was done and do a job that is different from the one on the LC (which would require the green card), then there's nothing wrong with having to wait for the I-485.
If your current position is stable, no problem -- you'll eventually get the 485.
If you switch to a more stable / better position (same job description), no problem -- you'll file AC21 and eventually get the 485.
On the other hand, if you don't get the I-140 and you have to wait, say, another 6+ months to get it and the I-485 together, you will be unable to use AC21 and if your company/future position goes under (or the company's financial situation blocks the I-140) then you're out of luck. Kinda like the problem with using Consular Processing I guess...
Note also, that even if you get the green card (I-485 approved), you probably can't leave the sponsoring company for 6-12 months without risking the USCIS interpreting this as fraud.

There's a non-zero chance that the VSC is simply starting to get to these cases. The last "official" processing date on the VSC for EB3 I-140's was 08/06. It had jumped 81 days since the previous update (14 days earlier). This is probably very optimistic, but if this jumps another 81 days before the next update (in early May), they'd be well into October on average (with maybe some cases in November / December being processed).
Probably just wishful thinking on my part (ND 10/23/03)

The problem is that I have been waiting already for 3 years (applied for LC 3years ago), and the tought that I am probably only halfway through drives me crazy. Not to mention the tought that I may not be as close to AC21 as I expected.
The amount of uncertainty and speculation that the new regulations are bringing is just ridiculous.
