Hi all,
I have applied for my I-140 on 20th Dec 2002 and I-485 on Jan 21 2003( Received Date). Can anyone tell me how long will it take to get the I-140 Cleared and the EAD Card. I have fingerprinting on 4/3/03.

It's not easy to estimate time it takes for 140-485. Every month they are taking longer and longer.

Anyway based on current trend, on average:

I-140 --> 180 to 365 days.
I-485 --> 365 to 540 days.
EAD --> You Should be getting anytime soon.

Good Luck.......
 
Howdy ?

Anyway, we haven't sailed too far. Join the crew.

Good Luck !!
 
Depends on what answer u are seeking..

SPratibha,
How long its gonna take ? The answer to
your question lies in what u would like for an answer.

If you are seeking solace and consolation and sugary
projections, your I-140 will come around tommorrow.

If you are looking for the true and pragmatic reply, the
answer is nobody knows...I don't know how someone
said its 180-365 days...it can be 900 days too.

If u ask me.. the answer is never ; the reason ? here's
my thoughts on current INS strategy :-

If they inrease your I-140 time to ( say ) 900-1200 days, by the
very way human beings are and by the very way companies
function here, either
1) You will get frustrated and abandon the process
or
2) You will be laid off or your co. will go bust.

In either case, your I-140 appln. will not need to be worked upon.
Thus INS can say they are processing I-140's in 900-1200
days and yet, they have to do nothing.. just no work at all !!!
 
Enlightning!

We need a few more people like PissedOffI140 to educate us and guide us on this board. Keep up the good work and continue to be PissedOff.
 
Here's the first one for u

Well, there r limits to getting pissed off too ! Finally, u r so
immune that u stop getting pissed off, being amused is
probably a more apt term...

And as for enlightening, here's the first one and its for u
....its spelt "enlightening" and not the way u spelt.
 
PissedOff140…

Interesting Hypothesis………..The way things are moving and time it requires getting permanent residency through employment, you might be right in a year or so.

Nice to se you here………..As usual, due to reasons beyond our control things got delayed after LC approval from Philly.

Oh, Oh!

Wow, an online spell checker! Thank you for correcting me and delivering the correct spelling for the board.

Well if you have actually reached the point of amusement then just a suggestion from a looser to change your Id to AmusedI140. :D. I am sure you are not a looser to continue with the same ID like me, you see my ID is still H1Need from the time of me waiting for a H1 till this time when I am waiting for my I140. Well I need not tell you that loosers do not move ahead fast enough, they stay stagnant. Correct?

Take care!
 
Tomorrow should come, your gc should come, too.

two month ago, I got inf. from an ins officer who told me my i-140 should wait additional 9 month at least although I already waited 180 days at that time. I did not believe her, but now i understand what she said. So, I hope you all be patient like me. Tomorrow should come, your gc should come too.
 
I , for one, don't disbelieve you

Read my post above. I don't disbelieve you heard that.
However, my take is this.. u won't get it in even the time frame
he said.

Look at what's happening in the world.. look at reactions
of people you see in the stores, the roads when they see
anyone not of a certain skin color. Its a mark of correctness
and patriotism in this country now to cause harm to
immigrants.

If INS does not handle your I-140, I-485, they will still keep
getting paid; and what more ...not handling such applications
would earn kudos of patriotism for them. Nobody is going
to ask INS why they aren't handling I-140s and I-485s.

My conclusion is this......no case officer is or would handle
any application. No I-140's are being looked at now. Period. Its
like an infinite timeout value. Within that timeout period, if u loose
job or just leave this country, all the better for INS.

It was therefore that I had sugsested time and again that
we get together, raise money and do something. I have
stopped doing that now, realizing that its useless with such a
wimpy coward group of people, who are more concerned
in interpreting how INS case officers may be decoding codes
like E11, E12 etc. Its all a hogwash....just to show they are
working..when they are not. Its that simple.

Only if we can get together, we can get these issues heard
and addressed. Otherwise, you can think u can get it in
300 days or 600 or 900...keep thinking....the online
message will keep getting changed ( or maybe not even that )
.....u will remain forever in this loop.
