My timeline:VSC
I140 EB1 ND, Oct,2002
I140+I485, NIW ND,Dec,2002
I140 EB1 denied Sep,2004(Sorry for the mistake before.EB1 got denied not NIW)
I140 EB1 appeal sent Oct,2004
LUD change for I140 appeal on Jan,2005,Still pending
FP Second, Mar,2004
I140/I485 NIW approval 3/29/2005.
There is no LUD change for my case untill I got the approval(Except the appeal one).I got six message from CIS when I just arrived the office yesterday morning.
I am not sure other centers,But I do know VSC is much much better than before after 1/5/2005 and 2/16/2005 meno.Please check the detail in their website.I have several weak NIW friends, got approval recently.For The concurrent file,All of them got the I140 and I1485 approval at the same time.
My case is 15 month past due and I have been waiting over two years,I know exactly the frustration and trouble caused by the delay.Immigration policy changes all the time,Stronger case could get denied end of last year,while weaker one could get approved recently.If your case is past due, Do not wait,call them and write to them.They should reponse you within a month ,but now is 60 days.Mine is 45 days after I called them for the inquiry.
Good luck to everyone.
