My lawyers told me that last week, they received rejection from CSC for concurrently filed I-140 and I-485 filed with EB3 substitute labor certificate on grounds of unavailability of visa numbers. The PD on the substitute labor certificate is Aug 2001, which can only mean that they are not using substitute labor cert PD for I-140 and I-485.
Has anybody else filing concurrently in February or March 2005 with substitute EB3 labor cert seen this ? My lawyers are using a substitute EB3 labor for me and because of this, are recommending to only file I-140 at this time.
This is scary since although my sub EB3 labor cert has PD nov 2001, I will be unable to file for I-485 till the EB3 retrogression moves past march 2005 ! :-(
