I-140 is pending more than 400 days

[sunny_1010us]

Hi,

My I-140 is pending more than 400 days. Lawyer placed multiple inquiries but still we are not getting any response. What do we do now? My 485 is file in August. I am about to get my EAD.

Can my wife work on EAD eventhough my I-140 is not approved. I know I can not.

Please advise gurus.

Thanks
sunny

100% without any doubt

You and your wife both can work on EAD as long as your I-485 is pending.

If your I-140 got denied, than your I-485 will be denied or invaild. in that case you cannot use EAD as that will also become invalid.

One more thing, if you are currently on H1, than your H1 will be invalid as soon as you use your EAD for employers other than your current H1 employer.

Thanks for the reply, but I think I can not change my employer if my I-140 is not approved.

True

Thanks for the reply, but I think I can not change my employer if my I-140 is not approved.

Yes, your I-140 should be approved and 180 days should lapsed after filing I-485, for you to work independantly for other employer.

I will not execrise EAD if your I140 is not approved yet. So, if you have H1B, don't screw it.

Your wife is a different game, if she is holding a H4, as soon as she got an EAD, she can work. Even if at a later time, your I140/AOS get denied, you can always put her back on H4.

Good luck, you should get an infopass appointment and see what they said in person.

I had an Infopass appointment but it is useless. They gave me same status what I can see online. IO said he will send e-mail to USCIS to ask the status.

Where (service center) is your I-140 pending?

It is at NSC

I know some 140s are pending for over 700 days. I wish they do not celebrate 1000 days.

Inquiry thro Senator or Congressman can help expedite approval of your I-140.
For working on EAD, you do not need approved I-140.

Thanks for all your replies.

Can I contact any senator or congressman in my area?
