That's a saturday approval!!!...took 22 months!!But no RFE or anything...so good luck to all.

Congrats ! Head on to celebrate :) Just for the record (and to share with others): did you or your lawyer/employer contact USCIS Customer Service to ask for case referral ? I wonder if you did, and this triggered your case.

Cheers,

New Processing Date is Sep 11th 2002

Unfortunately VSC have slowed down again - or are they just trying to catch up with the published dates?

Thanks, I updated the last version of the tacker above. Yeah, kind of a slow down, they advanced one week of processing time in two weeks calendar. But let's keep an eye on the big picture. At least they are still moving, and they seem to be trying to keep the backlog as it is for a while. As I said above, I'd like to see them advance a couple months every two weeks, we'd all like this of course .... best way to help this happen is to work through petitions, as Mr Khanna has been doing (God bless him).
 
whats the RFE about?

SmartSQ,
Your lawyer should get this RFE. Could you share with us what the RFE is about?

Thanks


SmartSQ said:
It seems that USCIS sent a notice on my I140. It may be a RFE. By the way, whom did they send the notice to? Is it myself, or lawyer, or employer? FYI, The application was done by a lawyer. Thanks,

-----
Application Type: I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER

Current Status:

On May 5, 2004, we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence or information in this case. The notice explains in detail what additional material is needed. If you have questions about the notice, what is required, or if 14 days have passed and you have not received the notice, please call the National Customer Service Center at (800) 375-5283.
 
24 months...

Just coming by to check on you guys. I have gone past the 24 month mark + 1 day...
Nothing yet.

Case referral

skusa said:
me too now waiting for over 24months and 15days!! and no news.
skusa, mzgh:

Have you both requested case referral ? (or whatever it is called). You phone the 1800 number in the USCIS where you are supposed to call if you are one month behind the processing mark, and they give you instuctions. I think it is your lawyer/employer the one who has to do it, but is seems to have worked a few times (including on my wife's EAD)
 
140 inquiry and RFEs

Rajan: any reply to your inquiry yet?
July02: have u sent a response to your rfe? what were the main points that they requested addtional evewidence for?
 
barney_hi said:
mzgh,

you mentioned "Holding Back". this is exactly my attorney told me when I asked for the outcom of my case inquiry. but I have no idea what this means. I hope "Holding Back would mean that they are on hold and will be open again when new policy such as the concurrent filling stuff starts, they will be pulled out. am I too optimastic? anyway, just try to find some daytime dreams to cheer myself up ..

Thanks.
Hi! Barney
did you hear anything from UCIS??

Thanks for asking! nothing yet! I am n't optimistic that my case inquiry would yield anything as skusa and mzgh still waiting. According to my immigration officer UCIS should respond to inquiry with in next 30 days. In next ten days my one month will be over(after inquiry). Let's see what happens!!!
I think it is more than a month for mzgh after he initiated his query. One more thing there are quite a number of I-140s (presumably EB1 and NIW )from May-August-2002 still pending!
 
I-140 approved

Hi everyone,

My I-140 just got approved yesterday. - finally after a yr and 8 months of waiting!!!! Had almost given up checking the on-line case status.

I-140 nd: Sept 22 2002
I-140 ad: June 1 2004
EB1-OR

I have opted for CP

Hope all of you waiting get postive responses soon. Best of luck to all of you.

EB1 OR Approval

Lamhe

That's great news, congratulations! Presumably that means that the new processing dates tomorrow will be at or beyond Sept 22nd - who knows?

Good luck with I-485

Sadly enough, No news. Well, I did receive a 2nd FP notice for my spouse. It was done on Feb 2003. But I did not get one. I think the reason is that, as I remembered, my spouse tried several times to make the Fp at that day, but the machine kept failing. Then they just took what they got, and that is why the online status over the past a year or so for me is "review has been received, case resumed ...", for my spouse, it is "pending for review ...". I am not sure this is a good sign or not, but I almost lost interest to expect anything already, good or bad ..........

Thanks for updating my info mendieta, and for correcting the typo. :)
My I-140 rd was 9/20/2002 and not 2004 !!

So you should be next mendieta - probably even approved as i am writing this. Hope I-140 comes through soon for rajan123, july02 and others who are having to deal with added frustrations with INS.

Thanks to all who have contributed to keeping this forum interactive and informative. If I can be of any help please feel free to contact.

My pleasure :) I hope you are still a little drunk from the celebrations ;)

We'll see about my case, I'll keep my fingers crossed. But seeing a few cases well behind the "current time" and a few RFE's, I think that the chances of getting approved right when the processing time reaches are somewhere around 50% or so ...

The one thing that I think you cuold help with is to try to articulate this forum with the 485 - OR forums. There were talks some time ago to open a thread in the 485 forum for Outstanding Researchers, somehow associated to this one, and sort of cross-link between the trackers ... the person who was in the talks disappeared from here, maybe if you stick around a month or so we can implement this thing ... what do you think ?
