how do you get this infromation from?
OCGuy,
Thanks for your information. But i wonder how do you get it? Is it your friend or you use some method to check on INS website?
We reply REF on Oct, 31, 2002. INS receipt date is Nov, 16, 2002. However i did not see any updated information on INS website
If someone reply RFE on Nov, 06, 2002 and got approval on Dec, 04, 2002, then when do they process my case?

wonder if it will take longer than my Labor that was 4 years - so if I-140 takes another 4 years and 485 another 4 years - I should get my Green card by the time I am grandfather

Hi rouhfish
Did you did any enquiry(fax or call) about your 140 with INS? What is their response?
How about your I485, EAD and AP?
Also anyone with update on I140 case (approval, RFE, etc)?
Mine I140 ND = 9/12/2002 and I am seeing that lot of folks whose ND is after me already got RFE or approval and I haven't heared anything for my case. I am just worried about it.

Congrats sd194
Hi sd194
First of all congrats on getting your I140 (labor sub) approved without RFE. Mine is also labour sub with ND (9/12) so I should be hearing pretty soon.
Also what about your I485, EAD and AP? If you filed all of them, did you received your AP or EAD? Please let me know about it and I have filed for my AP with 485 and haven't heared anything about it.

Re: I-140 concurrent filing approved
Hi I am a new enrolee. My_own_name. I got an RFE similar to yours. My case status used to read 'it will take 90 days .....'. But now it reads 'A written decision was mailed on december......' - does it mean my case is approved or rejected?
Thanks

Rumour or Fact???
I've heard from one of my co-workers that INS is being re-organized because of the new homeland security bill and that they won't process any cases until the re-organization is done.. Has anyone else heard something on this topic... Hope its just a rumour..

delays at the INS
In my case, I will have to file for H-1 extension. Else, I might not be authorized to work, when the H-1 expires and I dont have the EAD approved due to clearance delays.

INS Slowdown Rumor True, Moratorium False
November 22, 2002. - The Immigration and Naturalization Service has denied the rumor that it had placed a moratorium on application processing, but advised that more careful attention would be paid to security checks. According to INS letters posted on the American Immigration Lawyer's Association Infonet, the rumor began when an INS internal memo was circulated in response to INS approving naturalization for a known terrorist suspect, which could have been prevented had the security background checks been conducted.
The internal memo from INS headquarters reminds all officers that security background checks are essential before making a final adjudication of naturalization, adjustment of status, or asylum application. For example, at the conclusion of a successful interview, the INS officer will no longer be able to issue a temporary green card stamp to the foreign national, absent the required checks. The memo also mandates that applications for advance parole (AP) and employment authorization (EAD) documents cannot be issued until IBIS checks have been completed.
The reaction of INS offices around the country has been dramatic. Many offices have ceased to issue same-day employment authorization documents, and many individuals with successful adjustment of status interviews were told to wait for final case approval. Many INS offices lack the computer system enhancements required to perform the necessary FBI name checks, and cases are being held in abeyance until the upgrades can be implemented.
Berry, Appleman & Leiden advises that the current uncertainties regarding the timely issuance of employment authorization cards, and other related benefits as noted above, will force employers to consider maintaining underlying non-immigrant status (such as H-1B or L-1) for as long as possible to avoid gaps in employment authorization.
