Response to MA_Labor

My I-140 application was approved on 02/04/2005. There was an LUD change on 02/07/2005, and I think that was because the approval notice was mailed.

But there was another LUD change today i.e. 02/23/2005. Now this really confuses me. Why would there be an LUD change on a 140 that’s already been approved? Any ideas??

MA_Labor,

IMO, the LUD change menas that they actually mailed the approval to your attorney or company. It happened to me as well. Good luck for the future .

vinodtv, I think you are right. I myself filed from MA (ND 07/2004) and have still not received FP notice. From info I got from this and other threads and from taking a look at the xls sheet (LC cases with state info) many with I485 ND April 2004 to about August 2004 have received their FP notices if filed from NJ/NY/PA/(CT). But none from VA or MA. So filing location (or local center availability) might actually matter for this (and we have to worry a little less...).

Anybody having additional thoughts on this?

Seems logical. I am EB2/VA case with April'04 ND. I received ny 140 yesterday - but no news on FP yet.

btw, where does the FP notice come? Does it go to the lawyer or will it be mailed to my home address? Thanks for the insight on this...
 
My current first three-year H1-B visa will expire in September 05 and I am thinking whether I should extend the visa.

I have not filed EAD/AP with my I-140/485. Now I-140 has been approved and FP notice received.

Should I just file EAD/AP while I am waiting for I-485 approval? I understand EAD/AP needs to be renewed annually but one year probably will be sufficient for me to wait for I-485 approval. Even with renewal for second year, it will save me some lawyer fee.

Any suggestion/comments will be appreciated. Thanks and good luck with all. :)

In my opinion, you should wait till April/May and then file extenstion some time in May/June.

Its better to have EAD/AP

Thanks juniordj78! But I got the approval notice from my attorney about 2 weeks ago. Looks like this time it's the FP notce. I have seen some posts where there was a LUD change on 140 and they ended up getting the FP notice.

Wait till april/may if you I-485 is approved by that time then you don't need H1-B or EAD.

Incase if your I-485 is still pending then you can file for H1-B extension.
If you are married then its better to file for EAD too.

I hope before May end your I-485 will be approved.

Thanks
Mike

Hi Minicooper,
Did you see any 140 LUDs before receiving the FP notice.

PS... it's a cool car. Do you drive one? I know my wife wants one :)
 
My RFE is to change my case from EB2 to EB3

Thing is, till date I was thinking my application was in EB3 category. Got a call from employer and it seems they applied in EB2, Now USCIS is asking to change to EB3. I don’t have the RFE copy but my employer told me that according to my education background (M.Sc. and 8+ years of experience) is not sufficient to qualify under EB2. They are going to respond to RFE today by changing the category.

Please help me in this regard, I don’t know how this is going to affect my PD, I’m in EAD after 6 years of H1. After reply to RFE how long it takes to get I140 approval? Will it impact I485 processing?

Anybody had this problem?

I appreciate any input in this matter.
