BTW,
Did you notice that Ms.Murthy changed the question and also her reply (07/07 chat).
Modified version:
Chat User : Hi, Ms. Murthy. Is there a chance that BCIS Headquarters will issue a rule stating that a person with the I-485 pending for over 180 days, and for whom the I-140 has been revoked by the original sponsoring employer, should obtain the I-485 approval? Thanks!
Attorney Murthy : Yes, I personally spoke with Efren Hernandez last week. He promised me that the BCIS will release such a memo by this Friday, July 11, 2003. I expect something to be released in about a week or two. The Memo or guidance will require BCIS examiners at the various Regional Service Centers to issue an approval of the I-485 if the I-140 had previously been approved and the I-485 has been pending for 180 days or longer, assuming all the other criteria have been satisfied for AC21 portability, like the new job being same or similar, etc.
