Hi All,

Here is my situation and I am paralyzed (not literally) after hearing about the scenario of my I-485 file. Sorry for the lengthy posting.

We filed I-140 and 485 concurrently under EB-2 NIW before retrogression hit in sep. 2005 at VSC. I am the primary and so for my spouse we filed only I-485.

-Got the approval of I-140 (EB-2NIW) on Feb., 2006.

- Our I-485 files were transferred VSC--->NSC on July 2006 (with a message saying that VSC transferred for the standard interview…)

- Got my EB-1a I-140 approved on Feb., 2007

My spouse 485 case started getting LUDs for about 4 days (see below my signature) BUT nothing was happening to my case

On March 2007 my spouse 485 got transferred NSC-->VSC BUT not mine

I sent an interlink request to NSC (assuming that my 485 is at NSC – that is what online status says) by FAX and express mail yesterday.

In the mean time I asked my attorney to figure out by calling NSC my spouse file got separated from mine. He came to understand from NSC (not from customer service personnel) that “MY FILE IS AT VERMONT SERVICE CENTER”. I did some ground work with NSC over phone regarding this matter and I asked the officer about “Where my FILE is”. She said we have transferred your 485 file on Sep. 2006 to Vermont Service Center. My attorney contacted VSC and came to understand that VSC does not have my 485 file.

So BOTH Nebraska and Vermont service centers are kind of washing their CLEAN hands. Ultimately I think my file 485 is in SPACE……….

For further reading what I have been going through please go through this thread too.

Now I need help/suggestions from the forum members. What should I do? I should write to VSC and offering them that we will send again the 485 application and supporting documents (pile of documents including medical etc). Another painful task I know.

Your input is highly appreciated.

I know it is painful. but hang on and contact your local congressmen or senator. Ask them to inquire for you for your case. They have better communication then lawyers from my experience. I think it will definately help to find out where your application is.
