Hi All,
I am posting the reply I received from my Congress woman on Company name change hold cases. According to her VSC should process 485 if amended I-140 is filed. I told her for many of us VSC is refusing to link amended I-140 to I-485. She will talk to VSC and get back to me.
"I am resonding to your e-mail to Congresswoman Biggert regarding your employment-based adjustment case. My name is Pat and investigate all the immigration inquiries for Congresswoman Biggert.
I called the Vermont Service Center to check on your case and was told, just as you thought, your case was being held up because the adjudicators there must wait for the regulations for the AC21 cases to become final. I also spoke to the congressional INS liaison office in Washington, D.C. and asked when the regulations would be finalized. I was told INS headquarters still has not completed them, so no one knows when and how they will be implemented. With the processing time on these cases still so uncertain, you might think about filing a new I-140 from your new employer. I was told the new I-140 would be attached to your I-485 and they would be processed together, based on the filing date of your I-485. This would essentially remove your adjustment case from the AC21 category and allow it to be processed as a regular adjustment case. If you would like to pursue this option, give me a call. "
