I140 Transfer from CSC to TSC
- Thread starter shantan
- Start date
I-140 Approved.
Hello!
Got the transfer notice from CSC to TSC on the 21st of Mar.
Strange Monday. Got an email early morning (4.15 a.m. PST) saying that my I-140 has been received for processing and the usual 400 to 450 days to process, etc.
Exactly 6 hours later (10.15 a.m.), got an email saying that it was approved. "This case has been approved. On April 17, 2006, an approval notice was mailed."
My 1-140 was filed Jan. 31st or Feb. 1st.
My receipt number was WAC06800xxxxx, which is strange by itself. It was e-filed.
I have to wait to file I-485. PD Dec. 2003, EB3.
Got an email from CSC on the 14th of Apr (last Fri.) saying that my 8th-year extension of the H1-B was approved.
Regards,
Emil

Very strange. Doesnt fit within USCIS standards. Mine was filed on Jan 26th, it goes like WAC06<088>5xxxx. Even with eFiling, why should it change? Anyways, congratulations. Also, do you plan to amend your H1 to get extension upto 11th yr. I have heard you can do it, dont know if it can be done after its approved. Let me know the procedure
FP notice
My wife (same filing dates - see signature) got FP notice yesterday for 4/20. Wondering where mine is....(not that it is also 4/20 and it didn't come...).
Also, USCIS online database completely corrupted now - when you click on the 'login' button it comes back with an error right away.
EADs still missing - 1st sent to wrong address, now supposedly mailed to right address (no proof it really happened).

Hi arouncoumar!
Thanks. I was hoping that my I-140 would have got approved before the H1-B, so that we can request that it be issued for 3 years. I also doubt that it can be done after the fact. But, worth a try. Will ask teh lawyer today.

dont count on 3 years extn
friends , just a small piece of info, one of my friend applied for H1 extn after 6 years. He applied for 3 years extn as he had an approved I-140, though he could not file I485 due to retrogression. He only got one year extn and he spent for premium processing. This is in CSC. he is in EB3, CA. According to me, if you are filing 3 years extn based on I-140 approval, try it with regular processing, its a waste of money to spend on premium processing not knowing if you will actually get 3 years extn. You guys know how USCIS sucks money out of us and hey lawyers also like every year extn and fees for them every year ..dont they???

I-140 approval
Endeavour
I did not have USCIS account created before 30th. So I did not get email for the first step. The date for the first step from the online case status I believe though was either March 21st of March 24th.
My case # starts with WAC060695xxxx
Can someone answer my questions?
-Given that my PD is 09/08/05 what good is this approved I-140 for me?
-any ideas on when dates will be current?
-under what situations you get 1 year extension when you apply for 3 years?

This is very interesting, does this mean that they've actually started looking at 485 applications? I saw someone else (Gaja....) who had a concurrently filed EB2 at TSC around the Sept30th deadline, who got the approval mail today (yes, guys, 485 approval).

Usually, FBI picks up some cases at random, and subjects them to a name check against all known terrorists/anti-national elements. If such a situation ever happens to anyone, it usually takes at least 9 months or so to clear...I have heard of cases stuck for 2+ years in name check.
