My I-140 approved on June 30th, 2005. My road to the approval was full of thornes and sharp stones. I was walking without shoes (means no help from any body, I did not know where I will end). I filed under 245 (i) I am not an IT professional. I got my work permit without much hazzles, and papers were moving fast. I filed my I-140 & 485 and my lawyer (I do not know he is a lier or a lawyer) sent those documents and after few months we got an RFE, while checking the case status, I found Immigration sent a request 4 weeks ago, and I called him, did you rcv any papers, he said, he did not, I took a print out and faxed him, he said, yes, I remember something H1 visa I asked him what H1 visa, I did not apply for any visa. I insisted him to send it to me by fax, he asked me are you sure? I said, "Yes", When I rcvd the paper, I felt so angry, I called him and asked you did not understand the contents of this letter, they are asking about the company's tax papers and any w2 of mine and other documents about the employer's ability to pay. I was not aware of those things, I talked to my employer. He was very slow, at last after 6-7 days, he gave the tax papers in a sealed envelope. I took it to the lawyer and he looked at the paper very fast and said yes your employer has the ability to pay. Nothing was there. I got my denial in November 2004. When I told him if you did something, it would not happen, he said you can amend the tax by paying the company my salary x 3 yrs i.e. about 100,000 $. I left him with my file. I was frustrated and angry, I did not know what to do. I hired another lawyer, we agreed for $ 6,000/- and 3,000 when I file MTR and when I get my approval the balance. He took my money first. I work for a newspaper (Indian). He sent his calculations along with company's temporary workers like subcontractors expenses) (my idea), I told him if immigration ask further documents, we do not have, he said they will not ask anything. I believed, the whole paper work was half an hour only. That was infront of me. We sent the papers, hoping something good will come. The I visited Immigration.com and I saw thread on employers ability to pay. Here comes United Nations. I wonder who is United Nations, because everybody getting their approvals, and I asked one of my colleagues, please send an e-mail and make sure he is the right person, immediately UN sent my colleague an e-mail he is the right person we are looking for. I sent him an e-mail and he called me back. After a brief talk, I was relieved. UN asked me to fax all the papers we sent to the immigration. UN said, I will not get my papers, argument was correct, but no documents. I was frustruated. He told me to send the company tax papers after looking at it, he said amend the taxes (What? paying the huge amount to the compay, like my attorney said? UN laughed and told me, no need of putting any money, I will do that for you. you will get your paper. I did not believe him at all. But reading other peoples experiences, I started believing him. I know, my company will not amend taxes. I asked him, do you mind to talk to the company CPA, he said, yes, he talked to him so many times, explaining to him what to do. The company CPA was not willing to do. UN talked to my employer, my employer told me he cannot do anything until Company CPA agrees. It took almost 2 months for him to convince them. I am very much obliged to him and I am very humble when talk to him, because he spent lot of time and efforts to get my papers done. Anytime, I called him, he assured me I will get my papers. My MTR was denied in April 1st. Immediately he prepared the taxpapers and sent to me and the Manager took it to amend it and UN prepared the form 290B drafted the letter and sent it to me told me what to do, how to send it (he told me do not spent anymore money to the lawyer) He made sure I put check in that. We waited. Nothing happend. I insisted to file another I-140 because my EAD will end in Augu, and also because of EB3 visa unavailability after June 30th, I filed a another I -140 with another bunch of money and sent to immigration. They rcvd my documents on June 30th. Also I got my 290B approval on June 30th, Nadeem rcvd e-mail, he tried to contact me, but failed, at last I found my e-mail and contacted him. Nadeem told me to cancel the cheques, which I did. In the evening I called him and thanked him for honesty, helping mentality and the assurance he gave me for getting my papers. At last, I asked him, can I borrow your heart for a while. he laughed ......... (because I found it a helping heart which I do not find)
Last 7 years I was waiting for my papers. I am happy. I thank almighty. Now I am looking forward to my I-485 papers approval. I thank everyone in the board. Keep up your good job UN.
