Hi all,

I am in the following situation. Any feedback is appreciated

I-140 (EB-2NIW) approval notice has got one A#
I-485 has got another number
EAD & AP got the same number as that of I-485

EB-1EA I-140 receipt notice has got the number of I-140 EB2NIW

Interestingly this A# (in my both I-140s) is the same number of my SPOUSE. Is it not very weird? My attorney tried to call but NSC is not entertaining the phone calls last year. That is what my attorney told me. If you have any suggestion please pass on to me.

Now that I need to interlink my approved EB-1 (from TSC) to pending 485 case filed with EB2NIW which is at NSC.

Thanks for your feedback.
 
Strange

I think these are all mistakes done by the USCIS. You should have your A# on all forms to be the same. This is what I have.

Regarding your wife. I have a friend whose wife received her GC. The A# printed was correct. But the name appearing on the GC was wrong!

So my friend contacted the USCIS. They said, they will fix the problem. He ordered a new GC, and the same problem for the new GC!

I do not know in the computer age, how comes such problems happen.

Unfortunately, I have no smart suggestion for you. Maybe others do.

I would still tell you to try with your lawyer to notify USCIS that one of their officers screwed up when he entered yours and your wife info on the system.

The other person is right. It seems all your A#s have been screwed up in variety of ways possible. Get ready for the VERY tough time ahead.
EB-1A approval was no big deal in comparison to this issue you are now stuck in.

Immediately schedule INFOPASS and let them know the mistake(s).

Don't scare me Mogambo1. Hum nahi khush hua !!!!
 
Brother seems u r also from India from Hindi you have used.

I am not trying to scare you but thats my experience with USCIS. No matter you ask different questions each time, they have given same standard reply each time without even caring for what I have aksed for. I believe things like this would require you to use POJ method and contact TSC Immi Officer and directly explain the situation to him/her. Otherwise you will keep on writting everyone and nothing will happen.

See I tried linking my case and sent 4 letters to Paul NOvak and Section EB245 as directed by INS Telephone Agent SUpervisor and called INS several times esplainig the situation and even after attaching Pearson's Memo and highlighting the required sections but nothing happened. So I was in same situation as you trying to get benefit of CURRENT visa #s for EB-1A for India but after wasting 4 months of my precious time writting everyone I decided not to waste anytime further so 2 weeks ago filed a new I-485 based on my EB-1A approval. :cool:

Madgu...,

You/your lawyer should contact USCIS Ombudmans office pointing out these problems. Probably they might be able to help you.
 
madgu, why dont you file a new 485, isnt that easier and faster?

I don't mind spending money BUT you will loose your PD and suppose my NC is clear. If I refile 485 the NC business will start all over again. we never know how much it will take. today or tomorrow my attorney is going to send letter to TSC and once I know the letter has reached I will ask my attorney to call and enquire about what is going on? Then next task is calling VSC who basically screwed up my case initially. Finally calling NSC.

Next week I will take infopass and explain everything to IO. Let us see what happens.

Yes bro. I am from India too. Thanks for your suggestion and if something happens I will post my experience.

Mogambo1,

Your posts are generally negative and discouraging. Here in this forum people try to help and support each other. We all know already that this whole process is somewhat difficult and requires a lot of work. There's no need to scare someone unnecessarily. If you can't provide useful suggestions then just refrain yourself from posting anything.

Madgu, I-140 approval was really the hardest part and I am sure your attorney will be able to resolve the situation. Don't be scared.

What I believe that they typed your wife's A# on your I-140. Until you get it corrected, even if you file new 485, you will be in same problem. I agree with Mogambo's idea- take infopass appointment as soon as possible.
Mogambo kabhi jhooth nahi bolta
Ask your lawyer to call and speak with immigration officer. Usually they can navigate the system more efficiently if they are willing to do it.
Good Luck.
Kamar Kas lo USCIS se ladne ke liye

Hi ajasha,

I agree with what you are saying and thanks for your input. I cannot relink unless and until our A# problem is solved. I am planning to take infopass next week.

As per law one should be able to retain and transfer priority date. I read it in Pearsons Memo but dont know whether INS still cares for it.

Thanks Mogmabo1 for your valuable information. Suppose your NC is clear in your earlier 485 petition and now you are filing another one will the service center start the process all over again because you are filing as a new petition? what about medical? can we submit the copy of I-693? or we have to redo it.
 
I bring to you the reality based on the facts and my as well as others experiences. If you dont have courage to face the facts and reality and the want to keep your eyes closed or think that this world is a beautiful place then I would suggest you to stay in your heaven. Trust me EB-1A is no big deal, it is not meant for Marsian's but a special category meant for people like you and me.

Getting an EB-1A approval is NO BIG DEAL, getting thru the mess created by USCIS is PRICELESS.

Madgu since your are now trying to opt the same way I chose a few months ago so you would require a copy of Pearsons Memo which I keep on referring again and again and is solution to all this priority dates tranafer and linking issue. I would suggest you while submitting your request for linking your MUST attach and highlight paragraphs in it which clearly suggest that this kind of linking is spossible. I would therefore suggest you to serach for my posts where I had posted a copy of Micheal A, Pearson's Memo or ask your lawyer to attach it along wiht your linking request. Let me know if this works for your since it did not work for me although the memo clearly states that it is possible. And lastly all the best. I was unlucky, hope you should be lucky

A tiny good news. I got FP notice for my second I-485 filed on 22nd Feb 2007. Also a letter from USCIS a few days ago that they were waiting for visa to becone available for my earlier I-485 filed with NIW so I believe I was all done with NC etc so I belive may be in my I-485 I get everything done faster. Wish me luck. Thanks,
