2004 Consolidated Tracker ONLY (140/EAD/AP/FP/485)

- Start date
ers_md said:Hi everyone,
I have a very important question which I need to know the answer to very urgently. As you can see below, my Finger Print date is April 7th, 2005. I am interviewing with some companies right now and I would like to know the impact of changing companies in this time.
1. If I go to Texas or Calfornia, what happens to my 485 case? Does it also get transfered to that state? Texas is far behind compared to Vermont and California.
2. What is the best scenario to follow? I still have my H1B which expires 2006 October. But the new employer probably will employ with my EAD card. I have not used my EAD card yet because I had more time on H1B.
What do you Gurus suggest me doing? Wait until I get the green card? Does changing the company cause any delay in processing of 485?
Please advise.
Thanks,
ers_md
140: AD: 08/30/2004
EAD: 07/28/2004,
FP: 04/07/2005
485: RD: 05/19/2004, AD: ???
Please shed some wisdom on this issue. I am at a crossroad where I need to make a choice. I need to know the consequences.
Thanks to all.

Is this a bad sign. Does this mean I am soon to get a RFE on my 140?

If we look at the excel sheet , arv_99, udayfn12,member77, vranggc,laborapproval,nymagnate all have dates close to ours and theirs are already approved in Feb last week.
I am wondering why our cases are left out. Is it a bad sign? Does anybody know about this? Please help.
Question on Priority Date for EB3=April02. what is the impact on our case ?
Priority Date for India EB3 (employement basesd category) shows up as April 2002 in the following link: http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/b...letin_1360.html
Does that mean all green card cases before that date will not be approved now eventhough the FP is done.? I filed my 485 in august 2004 and FP already complete. My labor priority date is August 2002.
Gurus please comment !.

End retrogression - See post for details
to all effected by retrogression, please check the below URL .
We can send mails to congress man to support the HR139 bill which is similar to AC21. Seniors in the forum, your suggestion are welcome
https://ssl.capwiz.com/usatoday/bil...39&congress=109
Since healtcare provider comes under EB3, this bill will provide a relief to everyone applied under EB3.
Jharkhandi and other seniors in the forum, please suggest what should be done.

Theoretically, EB3 GC's which have the prioroty date of April 2002 or before will be processed. In your instance, since your PD is Aug 2002, you will have to wait until the dates are moved to that timeframe. However processing for FP and so can still continue but approval will be not be granted until the PD is moved to Aug 2002. Please note this applies to only EB3 for 3 countries at this point of time.

I have recently moved and hence called INS almost 10 days back to notify the same. Still I do not see any changes in the status of my filings.
I hope they did not use our file papers to cook the turkey on the eve of Thanksgiving, because that is when our files reached them.
I am not sure but can you call and give them a reason for lifting the hold (like employment etc...) I know atleast 2 another people who applied in the same timeframe who had a hold on their application. Did you try temp EAD cards. Thats when they told me the app is on hold. Whatever that means
Goodluck.

case status update
I received bunch of emails on the 14th March, 2005 @11.15pm stating that my case was re-open and is in process, the emails were for my I140 and 485 for me and my wife.
My applications were denies on November 15th. (140 and 485).
How much will it take from now once the case is re-open, any idea?

Can you give more info ?
Hi need_green_card,
Can you give me more details about your denial. My earlier application was denied due to ability to pay issues. It usually takes 3-5 weeks to get back to you with an RFE (if any) or in the best case approval. Hope you get your approval soon and end this misery.

Application "On Hold" Explanation -- this is what I found on the internet
""When you send Form I-140 application to USCIS, you can also send your I-485 application at the same time, as a concurrent filing of Form I-485 with Form I-140.
The benefit of I-140/I-485 concurrent filing is the eligibility for EAD and Advance Parole. The biggest benefit is those whose unlawful presence has start running and may be subject to 3-year or 10-year bar unless the running of unlawful presence time is stopped by filing I-485.
By filing I-485, they will be able to stop running of unlawful presence even though they cannot remove the period of unlawful presence before filing I-485. IF you have already filed I-140, you may file immediately I-485 attaching I-140 Receipt Notice.
For I-140 and I-485 concurrent application, the USCIS will process the I-140 application and I-485 application separately.
Your I-140 will be first adjudicated as separate from I-485, and the USCIS will issue receipt notice as if I-140 was filed independently. Before your -14o petition eligibility review is completed or I-140 is approved, the I-485 application will remain on hold.
The USCIS confirmed that the Service Centers will not process adjudication of EAD and Advance Parole in the I-140/485 concurrent filing cases, unless the Service Centers complete the review of eligibility of I-140 petition or thorough adjudication of I-140 petition. The procedures of such review or adjudication of I-140 will be as follows:
Denial of I-140 petition without even issuing RFE if the applicant is statutorily ineligible. If this happens, the Service Centers will also deny I-1485, I-765 EAD application and I-131 Advance Parole.
RFE is issued if the evidence of eligibility is not included at the time of concurrent filing. This is a situation where insufficient evidence is submitted and the Service Centers are unable to determine eligibility of I-140 petition.
Once RFE is issued such, processing of I-765 EAD and I-131 Advance Parole will remain on hold until the requested evidence is received. Additionally, the 90-day EAD adjudication requirement under the USCIS regulation will also stop running and it will run again as soon as the requested evidence is received.
If the USCIS Service Centers determine that the I-140 petition is eligible and the proper evidence for determination of eligibility are found in the filing, the Service Centers will issue EAD and Advance Parole. ""
From the above, I understand that they are waiting on the adjudication of 140 application before they issue EAD or AP.
Hopefully the 140 is not denied, in that case I think there will be no LUD change. The Gurus may correct me if I am wrong.
