I-140 Ref
Hi Sahin:
Are you on EB2 or EB3? Is your current wage above the prevailing wage? I think if your prevailing wage is much higher than current wage, it may raise flag on I-140 process. If you work with large company, INS may give you the benefit of double. However, in today's economy. it is unlikely to get labor cert if you work with large company due to mass layoff. And, if you work with small company. finanical of the company will be an issue in I-140 process. How ironic! Just keep up and hope you go well. I am still waiting for my I-140 approval and in same boat as you.

Thanks WXM8, Haibo, and others
Thank you guys very much. You guys are so helpful.
I honestly dont know what the RFE is all about as the way my lawer not get the Hard copy in my hand. If I need any help I will definitely let you know.
I am so frustrated about unseriousness about my company lawer.
Sometimes, I feel that I know much better law or technique than him. Offcourse he does not prepare cases, his assistant does. However, he did sign all the paper. Also, he is beleived to be a big lawer and get a big bugs paid by my company.
I hope he will answer the RFE in a efficient manner.
haibo,
I am on EB3.
My company is very large and did not lay off any people. It has 65000 employee world wide. The plant I work for has 8500 employee.Therefore, if the RFE is about company, it should not be a problem. Lets wait until I get the hard copy of letter. My wage is not higher that much than the labor certification. I have got only one raise, so the diffrence is very little. So this is not an issue, I guess. Only thing I am concerned is whether the RFE is about my qualification. I have four years bachelor CS degree. Still, I am scared. I have only worked 1 year and 4 month full time after my graduation. I hope this short duration of work is not an issue.
Thank you all for your advice. My ND was 10/3. Any body at this time should get their I-140 decision by today or within couple of days. I will keep you guys posted.
Good Luck guys.

I have abig difference
Guys when my labor was filed I used to make 81K, and I had an rfe and the labor dept asked to put an ad and prove that the company didn't get any people. My company did do that and the ad said 81K and got labor approval at last. I got a big hike last year so my i140 says it is 100K. I work for a huge company with > 200,000 employees.
Will this be a problem ??

Re: Sad News
Sahin,
Don't worry about it. If it REF then it will delay for month or so. But it's not very big thing. I think we have some member they also got NOF at Labor stage and after replying information it was approved with little bit delay.
I think wxm8 did very nice work to put to geather faq, please go through it. it very comperihensive. You can find different reason for REF, but ,most probabally I belive your REF is same nature as your co-worker, find the information from him, and get ready that finacial document from company ASAP.
If you reply in time, then you won't loose too much time.
I am agree with your thinking about lawyer, I think he was not smart enough to for signt this kind of cinario/ situation. honestly i think it's his responsibilty so don't worry and follow-up with him.
Good Luck.

Approved....
My I-140 and EAd approved with same pattern.
I-140
RD 09/23/02
ND 10/07/02
AD 10/30/02
I-765
RD 09/23/02
ND 10/07/02
AD 10/31/02
No fingure printing date yet.
EB3 category, concurrent filing company with 400 people in chicagoland area with no major layoff recently (I have to wait for 6 month to file my labor because of last year layoff)
Lawyer was smart to send addtional finacial document while filing.
(it took one more week to get documents but now I think it was toatally worth it.)
I-131 and I-485 still same status as waiting.
Thanks,
JB

EAD and AP approved
Guys,
My wife's EAD and AP was approved on 10/29 and 10/31 resp. after my 1-140 was approved on 10/28. My lawyer didn't apply EAD and AP for me since as per the lawyer I have enough H1 time left.
Anyway, I feel that for concurrent filers, EAD can't be granted without i-140 validity. Hence INS glances at the i-140 and approves if that is a straitforward case resulting in faster 140 approvals in most of the cases.
Just my 2 cents.

I mean pattern for EAD approval after I-140 and my mean also was like ND wise also may be it was going by RD (I don't think it is ) but yours RD was after me and ND was before me, so that is only explaination now from me.

Hi wx8, jbm, nanaji and other gurus. Small question to ask you guys. As you know I am still waiting for a receipt for my concurrent filing application sent on Oct 15th.
I am planning to change my address. I wanted to move to another apartment in my same apartment complex. But the apartment number would be different.
Is this recommended during I-485 stage (since I dont even have a receipt yet. Please give me your opinions
Thanks in advance !!!

Has anyone been waiting this long?
Hi everybody,
I'm just wondering if anyone has been waiting for I-140 approval for more than 6 months. My case is EB-2 NIW with RD and ND of 5/2/02 and 5/3/02 respectively, at the Texas Service Center though. The latest processing time published on 10/15 for the TSC showed they were processing cases with receipt date of 6/26/02 already!! I check the online status several times a day, but it is still showing "... it is taking between 175 and 200 days ...". I don't know what is going on at that center. What is worse is my company will have another round of massive layoffs around Thanksgiving. Feeling really frustrated and angry.
I know this forum is for the Nebraska center, but I found this place really helpful and friendly. I have seen quite a few I-140 cases approved within 2 months or even 1 month on this forum. I just want to get a sense of the typical or average processing time for I-140.
BTW, how can I access the tracker?
Thanks and have a good weekend.
