Concurrent processing Info ??

[thewebman2002]

All,

I had a question that some of you might be able to answer:

Before the concurrent process came into existence, one could not apply for 485 before his/her 140 was approved. Is it true, that in the concurrent process method, both the 140 and 485 will be approved the same day or will INS take a decision on 140 before taking a decision on 485?

If the decision(s) on both the 140 and the 485 are taken at the same time, then how does the concept of RFE work? Will they send an RFE and when they receive a response to the RFE, they will either approve or deny the 140 and the 485?

Thanks

For concurrent I-140/I-485 filers, I've read in some articles that the INS spends times to work on the I-140 process and then, focus on I-485 process. If the underlying I-140 is denied, then the I-485, EAD and AP are all made invalid.

180 days MAY not start from the concurrent I-140/I-485 RD after all!
