Is PP worth for EB-1EA at TSC?

Hi All,

I would like to get a feedback from you. My EB-1 I-140 is pending at TSC since Jan. 12, 2007. See below my signature. Is it worth going for PP at TSC? My attorney is saying that if I go for PP then my file might get transferred to NSC. Any idea on this stuff? I would appreciate your suggestions.

Hi Madgu
My 140 was transferred to TSC and then I upgraded it to PP. It remained with TSC so I dont think it gets transferred if u upgrade. Just my experience though.
 
Madgu I am pretty sure is going to stay in TSC, is very rare when they transfer TSC to NSC, i Havent seen that yet, so dont worry!!! you'll be fine!!! I hope you get your approval soon :D

If you go for PP, I am sure it wont be transferred to NSC. I have heard about many cases that were upgraded to PP. But unfortunately most of them got RFE. As far as I know, two cases of NIW not EB1EA were approved without RFE. Every single EB1 EA that I know of received RFE after upgrading. This happened in TSC.

In this thread one member "Pradeep" got his approval on the same day he requested for PP. Happened at TSC (EB-1EA). go to this link www.trackitt.com where you will see all EB-1EA PP case did not get RFE. But ofcourse the link has got very limited entry under EB-1EA. However I will consider your suggestion. I know when PP was started for EB-1EA most of the EB-1 guys at NSC went for PP and I think 99% got immediate RFE and I was one among them :). Ultimately NSC denied my petition.

How about your RFE response? Hopefully you have gathered all information.

Good luck

There was another post in this forum where someone initially had submitted to NSC withdrew and refiled in TSC with PP and got it approved from TSC. So I do not think, if you ask for PP it will go to NSC.

Pradeep!!!

Did you submit employment letter too with your petition? NSC was asking about the letter of employment eventhough for EB-1EA the job offer letter is not required.

Hi kku,

did you efile or send paper copy? One thing you should remember you cannot go for PP if you have I-140 pending already in one of the center. Think about this.

Yes you can file another I-140 with a pending EB-1OR.
 
Yes

Yes you can file EB1-EA while EB1-OR application is pending.
Good luck

Pradeep and Madgu,

I did paper filing as my international advisor was reluctant to e-file and now I am stuck with a bad center.

Anyways, Pradeep will like to get in touch with you. Could you please share your cover letter (may delete your name and so..)and help me prepare one...If you do that will be a great favor on me (my email:safe787@yahoo.com)
