Congratulations!
NSC is one unpredicted center!
But hey who is complaining if its fro good!
 
Congratulations!

Congratulations! I have a question to ask, My form I-140 (EB1OR) was approved too, But I don't know if I still need to apply for my Labor Certificate for security? Do you know I-485 will be denied after approval I-140? any suggestions are highly appreciated.

question appear to lack complete information.
As I understand you want to file labor based I-140 as backupplan.
I beleive its not needed....
After approval, I-485 is independent on I-140 petition.If ever it gets denied it will be independent reason.In any case at one point u can file ony one I-485
 
Well, when i called USCIS for possible transfer pending I-485 to another approved I-140, i was informed by the officer NO. But i was also instructed by the officer to just go ahead and file another I-485 that will go with the approved I-140.
My attorney also said multiple I-485 is legitimate.

Did your attorney said so!
I think he is wrong!
You can file multiple I-140 but not multiple I-485.
You may want to recheck that information....if otherwise please share that with us!!
On the other hand interfilling is allowed.
 
I filed my I-485 jointly with my eb1-or. But when I was applying for my labor based I-140, my attorney requested VSC to link my I-485 to the new I-140 (knowing that this case was more certain than OR). I guess, they did. My attorney said, VSC always respects such request.

Thanks, eb1doc. Thanks for you information and advise. You are right, I want to file labor I-140 as backup plan, since I am almost ready to submit the application of labor certificate.

After I read the cases of Newhope2005 and eb1 VSC, I still haven't made up my mind yet. Relink I-485...? interlink I-485...? double I-140 credits...? I don't know if I can get more instructions from my lawyer, but I will try and get back to you for your reference. Thanks again.

Well, she has already helped a number of her clients to do so without any problem as i was told.

That was what i thought originally, but in reality it's been done and proved to be ok.

This is what i believe. And in fact, a search on this forum showed that some cases they sucessfully relinked approved I-140 to another I-485 which was concurently filed with another I-140 that was eventually denied.
However, the officer i talked to over the phone apparently told me firmly this is not doable, instructed by her supervisor.
I guess it really depends on service center. And i believe from all the evidences that transfer of I-485 is doable. Some people did it over the phone, but not me. Most of time, written request to the service center where the I-485 was filed should take care of it.
What is needed:
1) cover letter of request of replace I-140 to I-485.
2) attachment of pearson memo, optional, but not required.
3) copy of approved I-140 notice and receipt of I-485

I will do so in the next a few days instead of filing another I-485.
 
I myself filed I-485 twice with two different I-140s. The first I-140 (EB-1EA) got denied and then I filed I-140 (NIW) along with my second I-485.

I had a post in this forum seeking clarification to check whether my earlier I-485 (that got denied) can be linked to my approved I-140 (NIW), so that I can keep PD of 2003. I was told by a member of this forum that PD starts ONLY when I-140 got approved.

I did not face any problem in filing two I-485s.

Thanks

You filed Two I-485 but at different times...i mean after first rejection you filed second one ...right .......not two simultaneously. What i was having a idea that you cannot file two I-485 at one time.............AND I gues sits not rue that PD starts after I-140 approval...when people file I-140/I-485 concurrently their PD is date when they filed I-485 not date of I-140 approval......
 
eb1doc,
you are right.

You can file two 485 petitions, but then CIS will send a RFE back considerring the extra 485 asking which 140 approval you want to follow, and indicate very clearly that only one 485 can be processed and approved. This is a real story.
