TSC I-140 RFE Guys,

I analyzed the data and found out that RFE cases have approval date line varying from 12 days to 4 and half months. Once gain not to forget to mention, if you are lucky on TSC sacle you fall nearer to 12 days otherwise be prapare to see approval in 4 and half months after you sent your reply to TSC.

God bless TSC

Hi Krishna !

Once I tried calling, I got through and kept waiting for one hour by the time I figure out that I am not the lucky guy so I myself hand up and gave my 10 bugs to departmental phone fund.

I don\'t have time and to waste one hour and then disconnected.

KP I can understand.

KP,
  I can underatand your frustration. I was only suggesting that someone call as I am unable to. I hope that things go well for you.
  On the tracker I find some people who responded to RFE\'s in mid Jan.. any news from any of them?

Rgds,
Krish

I received an RFE on 25 FEB 2002.My lawyer got the papers today and when I talked with one of the his staff, she told me that TSC need my company\'s Tax returns etc,my W2s and detailed experience letters. I have submitted all my W2s and experience letters when I first filed.
Can anybody tell me why the hell TSC is asking it again?

Texy, I agree with Gking. Your lawyer missed some papers and TSC is asking in order to approve your case.

As soon as you send papers you will be alright. But these days TSC is taking lots of time to approve RFE cases after RFE is sent out.

Good luck to you.

EB2(NIW) RFE approved, EB1 rejected

My I-140 (EB2-NIW) is approved and here are the details.

I filed I-140 through 2 categories, EB1 (OR) and EB2 (NIW) in February 2001.
My EB1 case was denied in February 2002. Yes, it takes almost a year for TSC to process my case.

My NIW case was RFEed in November 2001. The letter was citing the famous case – New York Transportation case. I responded in February. To tell you the truth, I have no confidence that my case would be approved although I have a Ph.D. degree and a master degree.
 
When I decided to go for NIW, I asked my company to write recommendation letters for me. All I asked is state that I am a good worker and describe what I am doing in my position. My company rejected my request and did not write any letter for me.
Therefore, I filed my case 100% myself.

TSC received my response in February 2002 and I checked the AVM daily since TSC received my response. Ten business days letter, I heard “This case has been approved”. I was surprised and disbelieve what I heard. I entered my case number 3 times to make sure it was indeed my case. Still, I did not believe what I heard. I talked to an officer in person and he confirmed that it was my case. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!

Today, I received the notice of my approval. Thank you for your support in this group during this past year.

My NIW case is very weak comparing to others. Although I have two advanced degrees, Ph.D. and Master in different fields, I do not publish any paper in any periodicals and I have never presented any research results in any conference. All I have are the two degrees, thesis and dissertation. My company does not even want to write me a letter to tell INS that my work is and would be benefiting USA.
 
The approval of my NIW case is a miracle and it is God’s work. I prayed everyday since TSC received my response that God would let the officer approve my case. Yes, it was approved. Without Him, my case was no good at all.

If you are already Christians, please have faith on Him. He always has a purpose for everyone in His timing. If you are not yet Christians, after you finish reading my message, please ask God to lead you through all these immigration processes. Your prayer should be finished with “I pray in Jesus’ name”.
