congrats, farhanr! Thanks for posting your approval.
It seems like cases forwarded to Boston DOL from states other than MA take lesser time on the SESA-to-DOL trip and the DOL time taken for processing! Wonder why that is...

Hi Guys,
While we wait for the DOL Approval I want to get started on preparing the documents for I-140. Could you tell me the documents that are needed for I-140. For eg. I have my Birth Certificate in my native language and hence need to Translate it to english. I want to be prepared keeping all the documents ready on my side to file I-140 7 I-485 concurrent processing, assuming everything will go well with DOL.
All you updates have been invaluable. Keep up the good work.

From what I gather, you don't need a Birth Cert. in 140 stage, that is for 485 (but I guess you are talking about concurrent processing).
In any case, I think all you would need for I-140 is:
1. Verification of employment showing experience that match requirements.
3. Proof of education.
2. Company's financials showing ability to pay (audited financial statement or letter from CFO)
3. Proof of legal non-immigrant status in the US.
4. Filing fee.
Can some one please confirm this?
Also, are most of you thinking of concurrent processing? I am still playing around with the idea of CP - do you know how long that takes after 140?
Thanks,
DG

New DOL/SESA Processing dates for April
Of course, at least for Boston DOL, the dates arent up-to-date realistically, since the website claims currently processing RIR applications from Jan 2004, and non-RIR from Nov. 2003.

Congratulations, zbcx123! You've had a long roller-coaster ride indeed! Now you get to ride on the 140 one ;=) Jokes apart, I hope you have smoother sailing with the rest of the process.
Do you know when in March your petition entered the DOL system?

Posting with updated DOL RD (see below) ....
It appears that although DOL received it on 3/9, it wasnt entered into their system until 3/22.

ascii_boston,
As I outlined, mine is a rather "unusual" case (application getting lost - DOL calling up SESA to resend it etc...), hence am not certain about the exact date (trx betwen SESA and DoL).. SESA initally told they sent it on Dec 10 2003, but I think they resent it again sometime in late (last week) March or even early April.
Hope this helps..
All the best and thanks for your wishes.
