Hi, Everyone,
Happy New Year 2005! I have been reading the posts of this forum for awhile, and this is my situation which is worrying me day and night:
In May 2003, my EB-3 (PD Nov 2001) RIR LC based I-140 was filed to TSC, concurrently with my I-485. After more than 19 months, it is still pending there!! I called the customer service number in Sept. 2004 (at that time, the published TSC I-140 processing date at the USCIS website was August 2003), and I received a response letter from Officer# 348 saying that they were processing I-140 applications filed in or before May 2003 (Why was a 3-month difference between the published dates and the dates they gave to me?).
On 11/12/2004, I called the customer service center again, and I received another letter from Officer #343 saying that "We are currently processing adjudicating cases received on or prior 08/25/03. Applications/petitions received after this date, are still pending and have not been reviewed. Applicaitons and petitions are assigned to officers in order of receipt. If additional information is needed, you will be contacted by mail upon review of your case. Your petition will be referred to a supervisor/officer for review."
I also asked for help of congressman and senator of my state to make inquires of the case. TSC told them that since my I-140/485 were filed concurrently, they must process them together when my I-485 is ready. And my name check is still pending at FBI.
My wife and I already fingerprinted twice, with the latest in December 2004. We applied EADs and APs and received approvals in time. On 12/30/2004, our I-485 status was updated:" on December 29,2004, your fingerprint was received and the process of your case was resumed......"
Does anyone have the same situation like me? Is anyone here whose I-140 was filed around May 2003 is still pending? Please post your response. Let us keep in touch and exchange some information.
What shall I do next? Thanks for any advice.
