All,

Finally it is my day. EB3 Applied concurrently on June 16, 2003 for I140-1485-EAD-AP. 1st EAD and AP got approved on July 07 2003, Fp done on April 10, 2004. Second EAD got approved on June 23, 2004, Applied for 2nd AP June 28, 2004, I140/I485 approved July 8, 2004.

I don't know what triggered this but I had done lot of things recently.
Since my I140 was not getting approved for a long time eventhough my RD was June 16, 2003, I initiated Inquiry myself and asked the Company's lawyer to do that. No response, Finally I thought I should contact Senator. I contacted senator and Governor and I guess that triggered this.

I still can't believe it. I got the emails one after the other. First I got an email for I140 approved. One hour later I got an email for I485 approved. I guess today is my day. I thank god (First of All) and next to you all, as this forum has helped me a lot and I wish you good luck.

After seven and half years on H1B I finally got the Green Card approved.

I will wait for the Approval notice and then I will go to INS to get it stamped. I hope I receive the Card soon.

Thanks,

I140-I485 Approved

All,

I am in IL and I contacted Illinois Governor and Illinois Senators. All of them have a web site where you can go and search for "Casework" or immigration related issue. Once you are on that page, you just follow the instructions.


Also, write a letter to both senators and a governor explaining about your situations and how they can help in your case. There should be a legitimate reason to go to Governor or Senator for help. In my case my I140 was not getting approved eventhough everyone else who applied after me were getting approved. My ND was June 16, 2003 and I140 processing date was October 23, 2003. I had a strong point and that's what I explained in a letter written to governor and senators. I submitted a copy of my I140 along with the letter.

Once you fill out the form on the web, it asks you to fill out a Privacy act form that authorizes the senator or governor to use your information. You fill this form and fax it to them along with a letter and receipts to the fax number. In some cases you may have to mail them. Once they receive it, you will get a letter saying, they will let you know when they contact INS.

You don't give up and in a week after you sent them all the information, you call governor's and/or senator's office and find out, if there is any action being taken on your case.

They will assign a person to work on your case and you call that person every now and then to see if he/she has taken any action. This process might take 1-4 weeks but the result will be much better than the regular process.


I hope this helps
