I-140 certified and sent to appellate body

I noticed some of the entries in the 2004.XLS has "I-140 certified and sent to appellate body" in the remarks field, What does this mean?

Thanks,
 
Waiting for FP

I am also still waiting for FP notice. I think, for now, i have to be content to have 140 approved and wait positively for the FP. I know there are other people eagerly waiting for FP... Hang in there folks...

I got my Fingerprint and Biometrics taken yesterday.

To All who has taken finger prints or going to get it done in future...
Make sure that you have gotten Digital Signature, Picture, index finger and all ten fingers prints completed. This is new procedure and they only took finger prints for me, so I went there again and got Biometrics done as well. There is a code field on the finger print notice, if it is 3 that means you need to get finger print as well as biometrics done.

Best of luck to all.. :)

Biometrics ??? Anything to do with I-485 processing. Are you going to get
I-485 approval soon because of this???

i dont think so, now USCIS wants our electronic signature also
that's why they have code 3 for FPs and biometrics.
we have to take both if we have code3 in our FP notice

its good to see that our VSC forum members are getting FPs now
 
LUD change

LUD changes on both 485 for self and wife on 02/28/2005. Status message has not changed. I did call USCIS on 02/25/2005 (address change, yes, again - they misspelled it and wife's petition was not touched) and we did FP's on 02/26/2005. So, it can be due to anything - address change, FP, RFE or something else.
 
Most Important - FP and Biometrics

Junta,

Many of you are wondering about Biometrics and FP....

On Friday I went to ASC (I went early) they did my finger prints only. During weekend I searched many fourms and I found the following information.

----------------

"Lately people have started receiving FP notice which also requires them to give biometrics info or they receive just biometrics notice if they have already given their FP recently.

1. Biometrics - This is basically required for printing EAD cards and GC plastic cards. INS officers take digital photographs, digital signature of the applicant, finger print of the right index finger,

2. Regular FP is basically used by FBI to perform name check, criminal records check etc. INS officers take finger prints of all 10 fingers.

After reading few threads and other member's responses, my understanding is like this. You can see one of the following code in your FP notice and it means as follows:

Code1 -> Regular Finger print

Code 2 -> Biometrics

Code 3 -> Both regular Finger Print and Biometrics


Please pay attention to the code on your notice. I guess this biometrics thing is fairly new so that even the staffs in ASC are not that familiar with them. Last week, I took my appointment notice (with code 2) to the ASC and they just did a regular fingerprint for me like months ago in my last fingerprints. Today, I read a couple of posts on the forum and realized that they might make a mistake. So I went back to the ASC and talked to them, fortunately they admitted the mistake and took the biometrics for me. Hopefully this won't cause more delay on my application."

---------------------------
today I went again for biometrics the lady at ASC told me they have missed to take my biometrics because I showed up early. She told me that daily they take print out of the schedule and check all the things before one leaves ASC. As I showed up early, no check list available for me. Moreover she mentioned that USCIS have changed notice format.

So make sure if you go early check the code in you FP notice. A line is clearly mentioned

"For this type of application you are required to take Biometrics"

Many thank to the people who have mentioned their expereince at ASC regarding fingerprints....and person who posted above comments after doing a lot of research....

i think your LUD changed becoz of FP's you did recently

thanks itec for your valuable info about FP's, hope everyone we'll check before they go for FP
