I140-I485 Approved

All,

I am in IL and I contacted Illinois Governor and Illinois Senators. All of them have a web site where you can go and search for "Casework" or immigration related issue. Once you are on that page, you just follow the instructions.


Also, write a letter to both senators and a governor explaining about your situations and how they can help in your case. There should be a legitimate reason to go to Governor or Senator for help. In my case my I140 was not getting approved eventhough everyone else who applied after me were getting approved. My ND was June 16, 2003 and I140 processing date was October 23, 2003. I had a strong point and that's what I explained in a letter written to governor and senators. I submitted a copy of my I140 along with the letter.

Once you fill out the form on the web, it asks you to fill out a Privacy act form that authorizes the senator or governor to use your information. You fill this form and fax it to them along with a letter and receipts to the fax number. In some cases you may have to mail them. Once they receive it, you will get a letter saying, they will let you know when they contact INS.

You don't give up and in a week after you sent them all the information, you call governor's and/or senator's office and find out, if there is any action being taken on your case.

They will assign a person to work on your case and you call that person every now and then to see if he/she has taken any action. This process might take 1-4 weeks but the result will be much better than the regular process.


I hope this helps.

Passport Stamping

All,

A little different question. Once I get the approval notice in the email for I485, does anyone know what documents need to be carried with you when you go for passport stamping.

I would really appreciate your reply. Again, Thank you all for this forum. It is of great help.

Aug '03 140 Approved

With the flood of 140 approvals from Oct-Nov-Dec. 03 applications in recent days, my approval is not something out of the ordinary.

But for the information of those who filed in Aug. 2003 and thought that the week of Aug 15th-22nd was jinxed or something since we din't see any approvals, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Mine was approved today July 12th. What probably triggered the approval was the 2nd EAD/AP applications for me and my wife. All 4 applications and the 140 were approved simultaneously.

Hang in there guys ! Good Luck.

Details:

Concurrent filing - EB3

MD: 8/11/03
ND: 8/19/03
1st EAD/AP Approval: 10/1/03
2nd EAD/AP Approval: 7/12/04
140 Approval: 7/12/04
No FP notice yet

Congrats Neerajv. Hopefully I too can hear something positive in coming weeks. My I140 ND is also 08/19/03
 
congrats

neerajv, congratulations...

gccrak, good luck to you!!

You guys must have gone through lots of frustration.... because my nd oct 24 and the current processing date is nov 7th, this itself is making me nervous.... you guys have waited a long time patiently.....

INS should mean the date they say as current processing date, they should approve all the cases prior to processing date before publishing a processing date!! but for some reason...they dont have any rules and regulations to follow......

Lets see when can I here something about my I-140, FP and I-485!

Good luck,
Antro
