NSC NIW approval after RFE???

I-485 Waiting

eb1doc,

Same as yours, I-485 for my wife and me were filed in Jan 2005, but our fingerprints (code 1 and 2) were done in March 2005. After a single LUD change in March for fingerprints, there has been no update for our I-485.

My I-485 is linked to NIW. However, my EB1-OR I-140 was approved in July, and I sent a letter to NSC to interfile the 485 to the approved EB1-OR, hoping to wake them up to taka a look at my 485, but nothing happened.

Now my NIW is approved, but still nothing happended to my 485. Depressed...
 
retrogression on 140 RFE?

hey, Howardgresham:

I remember your RFE was sent out around August 8. Have you heard any news yet? Mine is on Aug 10th, no new at all. I am afraid the side effect of retrogression on 140 RFE too. Would they stopping action on that too?
 
Can I-485 transfer?

EB1DOC, It will happen soon.
I had EB1 approved in June and RFE for NIW.
My I140 for NIW was approved on 09/08 and the same day I've got the approval of the 485.

I have two I-140 pending (NIW and EB-1). I want to submit my I-485. Which one I should link to? If I link it to NIW, can I transfer I-485 to EB1 if NIW do not approved? what did you do in your case? would you give me some suggestion?
Thanks
 
NIW approved

Sorry that I have not been able to reply thread in this forum lately...
Received a notice in mail saying that my I140 NIW has been approved on 08/16/05. One lesson that I learned - DO NOT CHANGE ADDRESS IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TO. I moved twice after filing since I thought it was not a big deal as long as I updat my address. The approval notice was sent to my two previous addresses and returned to USCIS towice and finally reached me recently. My online I140 status still has not changed after a month with no LUD. Do not know if it's caused by my address changes also. Since my I485 was filed two months after I140 semi-concurrently, I am afraid that my I485 case has been affected also if my I485 needs to be triggered by I140 approval in the computer system. My I485 should have been processed according to the processing time. I am very concerned... The recent I485 retrogression makes the situation does not help the situation a bit. Any suggestion???
By the way, I sent RFE for my I140 NIW on 08/03/05 and it was approved within two weeks. Looks like NSC is processing the cases relatively promptly. Hope this brings some hope to the folks who are still anxiously waiting. Best luck to everyone!!! Base upon my I140 NIW experience, I think nothing works better than strong references from big shots. Try your best to get them!!!

Again, best wishes to all of us!!!

Congrajulations on getting the notice of approval.

I changed my address and my 485 got transferred to TSC and got emails about that. Very recently I got an email that said it is taking 830 to 900 days(!!) for this kind of cases to be processed. Looks like TSC is considering my case like a new filing.

No word on my 140. It is three weeks past since we responded to RFE. I just hope my approval is in the mail and not in the computer system!
 
NIW RFE LUD changed after 50 days with same status. Now 12 days of silence?

Hi guys,

My I-140-RFE was received 7/18/2005, LUD changed 7/19, 7/21, and after 50 days the LUD changed again on 9/7.
Status not changed! Now 12 days of silence. Any idea? Thanks

I-140-RFE received 7/18/2005
I-140-RFE LUD and status changed 7/19/2005
I-140-RFE LUD changed 7/21/2005
50 days pause
I-140-RFE LUD changed 9/7/2005 no status changed
Now 12 days of silence?
Any idea? Thanks.
 
My NIW RFE was received by NSC on 8/16/05 and got approved 3 days later on 8/19. Basically, it looks like NSC is doing very well with RFE processing. So, don't lose your hope and you'll see your approvals soon!
 
My NIW was approved by NSC on 9/20/05 after RFE.

I am waiting too

My RFE was responsed on Aug 8th, LUD change once on Aug 11th. No change after that. I am guessing because they receive 485 application so much recently, they stop processing 140 RFE. Any thought on that?
 
Very glad to see several recent I140 approvals after RFE at NSC. Finally NSC is doing something positive. Congratulations to all of you!
For those who are still waiting, stay positive and our best wishes are with you. Sometimes, the online LUD thing jsut does not work as you expect. My I140 was approved on 08/16/05 while the online status still shows pending... In case you responded to a RFE and the last LUD was more than 30 days old, you can probably try to call USCIS for an inquiry.
 
For my understanding, they would say" that would take 150-180 days on RFE to process..." Do you think they would even response me? Do you have experience on calling USCIS?
 
You can call and try your luck. Say that it's been a month and you have not heard a thing... Does not hurt anyway. Just have a cup of coffee or doing something else while you wait. I called several times but not for my I140. They are pretty nice most of the time... If you are lucky, they will probably send a referral to the officer.

Hi, pper, Congratulations! I have the exactly same 140 RFE LUD (8/26, 8/29), but after that, no any new, just wondering what is your office code? Thanks
