DUPLICATE 140 approvals

Hello freinds:
any suggestion as to which 140 approval one should base thier 485 on. In my case i have 2 approvals of 140 for OR as well as NIW.


THNAKS
aRJUNDC
 
just to let you know I received my FP2 notice on 6/18/2004 and went to ASC center on 7/2/2004. My lawyer is telling me that FP2 is a good sign but I really don't know and believe anyone on this adventure.

Anyone like me with a FP2?
 
2nd FP notice dated June 28th, 2004

Hi,
I got a notice for a second FP with a notice date of June 28, 2004. This is 19 days after the approval of my I-140. I was told that FP are good for 15 months. I was on my 18th month as of july 2nd.
My appointment for second FP is august 3, 2004. Do you guys think that I can get them done sooner and before this scheduled date? I think someone had them done sooner that the scheduled date. If any of you has had that experience, please let me know. I could go on Tuesday for all I know!
MZGH.

Another Approval

Hi all, 've been too busy lately

Here is fatlady's FAST approval ! Reported on the associated I-140 thread (linked in the tracker below)

Is it me or it is kind'o' encouraging to see a bunch of approvals AHEAD of the processing line ? Anyways, best luck to everyone and let's hope USCIS starts to be fair and reduces all backlogs ...

OR-based 485 and other 485s

Hi! All: Please help me to understand these questions. My university filed my I-140 under EB1-OR and I filed my I-485 by myself. My I-140 has been approved and my I-485 is in pending. Do I still need anything from my university for my I-485? What's the difference between our OR-based I-485 and other I-485s? Thanks for your answers in advance. IC

Hi,
I went this morning for my FP #2 instead of waiting till august 3rd, 2004. I am thus answering my own question.
I put new FP2 dates for ea_ead and MZGH (mine).

Cool!. Did you have to schedule it to go earlier, or you just showed up there ? In any case, I think it is a good idea to speed things up !

Cheers!

Hi,
I got a notice for a second FP with a notice date of June 28, 2004. This is 19 days after the approval of my I-140. I was told that FP are good for 15 months. I was on my 18th month as of july 2nd.
My appointment for second FP is august 3, 2004. Do you guys think that I can get them done sooner and before this scheduled date? I think someone had them done sooner that the scheduled date. If any of you has had that experience, please let me know. I could go on Tuesday for all I know!

HI!MZGH
did you get an e.mail from USCIS about your 2nd FP? was there a change in online status stating about your 2nd FP? or you directly got a paper mail from USCIS?

Thanks

Hi,
I received a notice telling me about the date of the second FP. The notice arrived on Friday at home (it was dated Juin 28). No email was sent to me. My on-line status has not changed yet. The last time I did this, it took 5 days for them to aknowledge reception of the fingerprints. I will keep an eye on it and will let you.
I woke up early this morning and just went. i was in at 8am and out by 8:45 am (in boston). Nobody asked me why I showed up a month early. Everyone was very courteous and helpful.
I think that if my FPs were up-to-date, I would have gotten approval for both, I-140 and I-485, at the same time (look at fatlady's approval date). I am just hoping that i am still in the "just in" shelf before i be left behind.

Rajan,
Your FP1 are more than 15 month old. Expect a letter for FP2s. Of course, i hope they would make exception for your case and give you a double gift!
But, I think you gonna get an FP2. You never know.

Hi immigrationcom

As far as I understand, the I485 is tied to the I140, and in this sense, in principle you would need to keep working for your university until the 485 gets approved. BUT, there is the AC21, the Portability Regultation (or whatever it is called). Essentially, it states that 6 months after you apply for 485, you can change employer, if it is whithin the same field from where you applied for I140.

Many lawyers, now that there is this concurrent procedure (I140/I485), prefer that you first get your I140 approved before using AC21, just in case there is an RFE on your I140.

That's all I know. Maybe someone has some more info ...

Best !
