Here are my details :

EB3, India
PD : 04/97
RD : 08/19/99
ND : 09/13/99
FP : 08/00
     FP had different A# then on I-485 receipt
     Got a little worried with this problem, so talked to the lawyer,
     as per the lawyer they talked to INS and said they will send
     out a new FP notice, which I never got. I went to the local
     INS FP office and discussed this with them. They told me that
     this (different A#) can happen sometimes.
RFE for I-140 redo (for Company name change) : 10/18/00
Company filed for amend I-140 : 12/00
INS received response : 01/08/01
INS approved response : 01/18/01
PD became current : 02/01/01
I-485 approved : 02/02/01. Very lucky :) As, I think it is very
                 rare for anybody\'s I-485 application being approved
                 a day after date becomes current.
Passport stamped : 02/21/01 (yesterday, in Atlanta).
                   There was a problem with my wife\'s ADIT style photo.
                   Fortunately, the INS officer send us to another room
                   where we got her photo clicked and the matter was taken
                   care right there. The officer was very coureous.
                   Hope the card arrives soon.

Got it approved in approx 4 years time period.

I have not been a frequent visitor on this website, but when ever
I have visited, I have tried to share my input.

Finally, I would like to be one of many who would like to thank
Rajiv Khanna for maintaining this website.

Good Luck to all and hang in there!

I have been looking up for information on the I140 redo.
How long does it take for approval from the notice date ? What is the procedure after the I 140 is approved, does it take a while for the I485 to be approved ? If anybody around can give me a feedback, I will really appreciate it.
Thanks.

Vidhya Shankar,

It depends, I have heard that it takes from 2 weeks to 2 months
for I-140 redo to get approved. Also, I-140 is processed by a
different dept at INS. But they do get notified once amend I-140
is approved. Once that is approved, your I-485 should also get
approved within a few weeks.

Good Luck,

Veer.
