Subject: Request for Immigration Petition for Alien Worker, Skilled Professional (I-140) application with receipt date {RD}


Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter to request your office's help in finding the status of my Immigration Petition for Alien Worker, Skilled Professional (I-140) applications, pending with USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services), Vermont Service Center for over 20 months.

I have mine I-140 applications filed at VSC since {RD}. Jun 2003(RD: 06/05/2003, ND: 06/09/2003) with Vermont Service Center, Saint Albans, VT. It is an employment based (EB-3) application.

According to the processing times published by USCIS, VSC is currently processing EB3 applications for Skilled Worker with RD ... Whereas our RD is {RD} , 20 months ahead of my filing date.

We received a request for evidence on.... and we replied and the website shows the updated status on .... [expand this para]

Further to that, we completed our 1st FP on {1st FP date}. However the online case status does reflect information about our 1st FP.

So far we have initiated {3} status queries through VCS and we have never received any response from USCIS. [This was true for us so I wrote]

The VCS phone enquiries have resulted in asking us to wait for 30-60 days since October 2004.

This been said, I do not know if there's some kind of center error that is causing the delay/backlog in my I-140 applications.

I understand that VSC processes thousands of applications every day and processing times could vary case by case. However, as our cases are backlogged and as I have failed to receive any clear communication from USCIS, I would like to present this fax request to review our applications and expedite the adjudication of our cases.

I would also appreciate if you could suggest an estimated processing time for the adjudication of our applications in your reply. [This statement is important]

you need to ask your EMPLOYER to write this same letter..
that will do the trick and then get your senator involved too with this letter in hand....

dogbert99 is right, Involve your attorney and the employer to write this letter. I140 is an employer's application and I have seen that they do not entertain requests from the beneficiary. I know it is hard but keep on pushing.

Thanks, MY Lawyer is not taking any interest. She did last inquiry on 28 Feb, but no news yet. May be I have to tell my lawyer to send I-140 Inquiry letter to Vermont.
