withdraw485
Registered Users (C)
Hello Friends,
I am in a huge dilemma and would greatly appreciate any suggestions you gurus may provide. Here is my story :
1. I work in Indiana but my employer in 2000 Employer A (corporate office in PA) applied my labor from PA and it was approved in April 2000.
2. The same employer (employer A) applied my I-140 from VSC and it was approved in Oct'2000.
3. After the priority dates became current in 2001, employer A applied I-485 from NSC (jurisdiction over my place of work) in Jul'2001.
4. In Jul'2001 Company A was acquired by Company B (Technically it is not a change of company as my place of work,work responsibilities and salary remained same).
5. In Sep'2002 I received an RFE from NSC asking for an explanation for my place of work and labor filing place being different. But at the same time in favor of my marriage, I also decided to withdraw my I-485. So my company (B) attorney send an explanation to the RFE(citing the acquisition) and also we sent a request for the I-485 withdrawal. With in a week I received a note from NSC that my request was accepted and I-485 was withdrawn accordingly.
6. In Aug'2003 Company B re-filed I-485 both for myself and for my wife. This time they filed it from VSC (because the labor was from VSC).
Recently a different law firm for my company B was processing my second EAD and they raised an issue. As per her, my company B has something called "Central filing Agreement" with INS and that she thinks my I-485 will be transferred to NSC once it gets to the stage of processing.
My question :
1. Does any one have any insight into the 'Central Filing Agreement'? How does it affect me?
2. Assuming the INS goes by that agreement, will they automatically transfer my case to NSC or will they send an RFE asking for explanation.
Now I am worried that in the process of xfer and different service centers.. my case may get further delayed..
In the midst of all these, my current employer B did not get the contract with our client and their contract ends Dec’31 2004. As of Jan’01 2005, I will be working for Company B using my EAD.
Any comments in this regards will be sincerely appreciated.
Thank You gurus..
