Is I-140 based on Finger Print ?

[ss_guy]

Hi all

Please clarify me. I heard something through my friend that 1-140 case will be opened by BCIS, only after finger print is done.

Is that right ?

My I-140( EB3 , Concurrent ) notice date is June 12, 2003, I didn't get my Finger print notice. But my I-485 on line status says that there was an insufficient payment for Finger Print.........

We didn't get any notice from BCIS regarding this. So we sent another $ 50 check and BCIS returned that check. On line status still show the same thing. Do I have to worry about this ?

Thanks in advance.

i definitely know finger prints is needed for this stage but dont think that your case would not be opened unless finger prints are done.

Hmm!

I don't think the 140 is dependent on the fingerprints.

Finger prinitng is required only when I-485 has been filed. My firend got his EAD @ VSC before he got finger-printed.
