Friends,
I am extremely happy to announce that my I-485 has been approved. Actually my 485 was approved on 12/17/2004 itself and the status had not updated on the website. I had called Vermont Service Center on 12/27 (i.e. Monday) and the lady told me that my 485 was approved on 12/17/2004 and a notice was sent out. I told her that the status on the website still shows pending. She told me that it will update and so the status got updated today morning.
Current Status:
This case has been approved. On December 17, 2004, an approval notice was mailed. If 14 days have passed and you have not received this notice, you may wish to verify or update your address. To update your address, please call the National Customer Service Center at (800) 375-5283.
Anyways, now I have several problems:
1. My 140 still shows as pending. I called again today and asked them about the 140 status. They told me that they cannot tell me about the status of 140. I also talked to my lawyer and the company and no one has received any approval notice. I understand that they cannot approve my 485 without approving my 140, but ... ??? Are there other people who are in a similar situation?
2. The website shows that the approval notice was sent out on December 17, 2004. There was a LUD on my 485 was on 12/17/2004 and then on 12/20/2004. I thought that the LUDs were because my wifes case was reopened on 12/16/2004 and her case also had another LUD on 12/17/2004. Anways, the problem is that I have not received the notice yet. Are there other people who got approved in the same time frame but did not get the notice?
3. My wifes case is still pending? I called again to VSC and asked the lady if her case is approved also. She told me that her case is in process and is pending. I did not press too much. I hope she will get approved soon. I think her name check is not cleared. We have sent another email to FBI asking for her name check. Lets see what they respond to.
In the event that I do not get my approval notice, what are the options that I have. Do they send a duplicate approval notice. I have not changed my address in the last 2 years and I do not know why I did not receive the notice if it was indeed mailed out on 12/17/2004. Any one in the same boat?
For those who do not know my case, my 140 was denied on 10/01/2004 and I filed a MTR on 11/01/2004. My applications were opened again on 12/06/2004.
