Hi LW1998 ,
I am also waiting on INS to pull my file. Mine is EB2 RD May 8th , its more than 110 days of waiting. Lookslike INS has no standards in their style of functioning. When I contacted my lawyer , he says it's of no use contacting INS.

Where does it say on the I-140 application that you belong to EB2 or EB3?
I checked the application for I-140 it does say if you belong to Eb2 or Eb3. Guys any light on this issue.
ND 04/30/2002 EB3/RIR
no news untill today no RFE's nothing, getting the same old message "Your I-140 was received on 04/30/2002 ........." (every body knows these words).
Did not file 485 thinking that "Why to confuse INS when my case is at its corner?"
Does it make any sense to wait for I-140 approval before filing 485????
Guys come out with something........

Re : Where does it say on the I-140 application that you belong to EB2 or EB3?
In Part 2 of the Application under Petition Type
If you choose
d. --- EB2
e. --- EB3
This is from my understanding. Please cross check. If you have enough time left on your H1 it is better to wait for the i-140 because of the significant fees required for i-485.

Thanks for your reply. I did not quite understand the part "of the significant fees required for i-485" can please let me know why you said that, because my company is paying for my 485 filling and attorney fees, I need to pay for my EAD (inclusing my wife's EAD) and Advance Parole (including my wifes Parole).
We need to pay this any time right. Please reply.

Those are the fees my attorney talked about as also the 200$ per person for medicals. In the unlikely case that the i-140 is denied than all those fees are wasted. It is a judgement call. You would have to balance it with the benefit you would get. Do you need the EAD or AP urgently? Is your h-1 going to expire soon within a year? (That is again and expense to renew). In this economy I have known companies who think twice about the smallest of costs. My advise would be to make a chart of the benefits/expenses and take an informed decision. The bottom line - Just because you CAN file concurrently does not necessarily mean you SHOULD.
Hope this helps

AVM Updates in the morning time
Regarding AVM update , I guess it is in the morning between 5-30 and may be 9-00 AM. I checked the status of my I-140 on a day at about 5-30 in the morning and heard that the processing days is 90-120 days.On the same day I saw some one posting that the number of days for processing was increased to 130-160 days and it was posted sometime around 9-00 AM.
Any input is appreciated.....

What ever you said is perfectly correct !!!! That was a wise thinking (no kidding) .......
I would like to think positive. If you have a perfect job thats when you can take chances, so I would think it is better to take a chance right now instead of struggling what to do when your H1 is about to expire. Immunizations records can be used whenever you file 485 and even in the worst case if your I-140 was denied it is good for you (health wise) to take them (your $200 for medical is not a waste when you think the other way). Lawyer fees are paid by your company, so if your company says yes to file then I would file. Apart from that you do not need an EAD because your H1 is valid and you apply for travel docuements when a neccesity occurs (no money for EAD or AP). What do you say?? I will not be surprised if INS brings out priority dates for filing 485, you may want to add this to your benefits chart.....
I am telling you these because each person may think differently and I would like you to think in my way and make a decision and I am sure that you would take a good decision. Good Luck !
Anyway thanks for your information and I would think whoever reads your reply would and should consider it and then go ahead for 485 concurrent filing.
Thanks once again because your reply certainly helped me to take a decision to file 485.

Hi KM-MP,
What EB3 category are you in? do u have bachelors or are you a skilled worker? Check the processing times at this website
http://www.immigration.com/processing-times/ne.html
See notes below in the above link. If your case has taken longer, I think you can check the status of your case by fax or calling.
Good Luck,

Re: EAD for spouse only?
I think it is fine. I did the same. However, take your employer's and lawyer's advise.
