LUDs on 485, 140 and EAD

Priority date becoming current in June/06.
Noticed LUDs on 485, 140 and EAD this morning. 485 for spouse also had an LUD.
Guys, what do you think? Have the USCIS guys woken up and started processing 485?

EB1 is close to current. This means EB visa will flow to EB2 and EB3 cat before end of the fic year. This may build pressure to USCIS to work on EB1 faster than anticipated.
I also hope we will have max. EB are from Mar - Nov 05. VAC and hope other centers as well has done figure printing. If USCIS has completed background check then application needs not much for approval. There is a chance that we may see approval from middle of next month. Please post your LUD and approval here.

I hope to here for your approval in early next month. You also have I140 approved in early March and (mine was late March). My case no LUD.
 
Quick questions to you guys who are expecting I-485 approvals based on current LUD changes
have you done Biometric code 2 yet?

I hope Biometric code 2 is only photo taken for GC. All EB1 application in not much old and hope most of us has done code 3 which include FP + Photo suffice for GC.
In my case my 7 years son has not got his FP done and not sure about his Code 32 request.

Am not very clear about all these biometric codes. Back in early November 06 me and my spouse went to this INS facility where they photographed us and took impressions of all our fingers and palms. I hope that takes care of everything they might need.

As per this site:
Code 1 FP
Code 2 Photo
Code 3 = 2 +1
I hope 1 is needed for background check. 2 is used for GC. As per my att. USCIS can use your photo provided in application for GC and one may not need code 2.
FP expires in 15 months.

good !! so you did code 3

Me and my wife had code 3. I am confused here as some of the posting says USCIS need Code 2 for children and my 7 year son has not received any FP request. As per my att. It is not needed for children as FP fee is not paid for them. I hope it depends on processing center.
 
No FP required for children. There are no fp biometrics on the phycial card either.

Also based on my experience, LUD change on your application (without change in the message) is an excellent indicator of imminent (say within 1 month or so) approval. According to the VSC rep that I spoke to, LUD change indicates that a junior person has gone through your application & made sure all the documents are in order & the application is now ready for adjudication by the senior officer. Actual adjudication obviously depends on how many people are beforew you in the q.

EB1C (Multinational Exec) chaning job after GC

Hi GCQuest32,

I am also in the same boat as u......EB1C (Multinational Mgr.).

I am sure that u r going to get approval soon as u got LUD in 5/27. Similar thing happened to me and I got approved with a couple of week after my PD became current few months back.

I have been searching this forum for a few answers. Lemme know if u have any clue:

My questions are:
================================================
1. How soon can I leave my current (sponsoring) employer? I have worked with this employer for 8 years including 6 years in India. But it has been less than 6 months since I got my GC.

2. I was transferred to US under L1A.

3. When I switch jobs, does the future job need to be of "same or similar" nature? In other words, my question is that do I always have to search for a managerial job or can I also do purely technical job?
=================================================

Appreciate everyones response.

Thanks for the info. Fingers crossed. Hopefully I will get it soon.

As for your questions.
1) You can leave anytime. Some people suggest to stay for atleast 6 months after GC with the current company else might(only might) have problems during citizenship.
3) No. once you get your GC you can work on anything and does not have to be managerial job only. Couple of my friends have changed to jobs like that. This happens as you are a manager in an Indian firm but mostly will join as a technical guy in a US based company.
 
folks,

being a complete newbie to the whole process and having an absolute exploitive, ignorant and incompetent lawyer, (on behalf of my employer), i have a few questions on eb1c

1. there are three dates in my i-797c, notice of action for i140, receive date (mar 28, 2006), notice date (mar 30, 2006) and a third date within a stamp on the form (apr 07, 2006). what do these dates mean?

2. my application is with tsc? what is the current status and how long do you guys think it would take to get the i140 approved?

3. once the i140 is approved, how long would it take for the rest of the ordeal to complete?

sorry for the beginners questions but would really appreciate your input.

thanks
suzu

Your I140 approval notice will come with PD. These dates will help you to compare your status with I140 approval at TSC.
2. my application is with tsc? what is the current status and how long do you guys think it would take to get the i140 approved?
Pl check TSC website.
3. once the i140 is approved, how long would it take for the rest of the ordeal to complete?
If you are from retro country you need to wait for current PD to file I485. Otherwise you can file now. After PD current it takes approx 3 - 6 months if it goes smoothly (not stuck in NC or RFE).
