Hi,
We (my wife, son and I) applied for permanent residency about 8 months ago at Vermont service center (I140 and I485 concurrently along with I765 (EAD)) under EB1 extraordinary ability. Our check　was encashed and we received letters of notice. We got our EADs in about two months. When I check the status of our I485, it says standard answer that I485 was received on such and such date. It is taking x number of days to y number of days to process this kind of cases etc.

HOWEVER, when I do the same procedure for my I140, it gives following error.

Validation Error (s)
You must correct the following error(s) before proceeding:

l Status for this Receipt Number cannot be found at this time in this automated system. Please check your case receipt number to see if it is correct. If you have questions or concerns about your case status, please contact the service center where you submitted your application. Unquote

When tried the 1800-375-5283,

file can not be found at this time, please double check your receipt number.

message comes.

My attorney has checked with the local immigration office and advised me that local office can check the status of my I140 and has no problem.

Did anybody face similar problem? Your input and/or advice will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

same story here

My RD 6/1/04 NIW case I-140 in TSC. Have not filed anything else yet waiting for I-140 approval first.

The story is that since June I could not access my online case status it says to me Validation error, same as phone message and yesterday had some spare time and calles USIC at 5:35 pm central time on Dec23d. Connected to the operator right away, no waiting at all, even 1 minute. She said that she could not find my case either and connected me to the Officer. It looks that the lady operator can see same things as we online.

Officer was very nice and said that inside their system he can see my case, moreover he told my SSN and told me that my case is in Texas, which again confirmed my case existance in their system. So, the Officers have access to the other database and my name was in their. I asked him why I can not see it online and I that wish to do so. He replied that sometimes they fail to insert it, and he can is not going to insert it because I know that everything is fine. They will send me descion when it's made. Anyway, I do not mind that.

Just wanted to add, that I was probably lucky that USCIS people were very fast, helpful and polite to me. Hope to get approval soon.

Vikas,

Today I saw my case online ! It says that it I-140 petition, they received in June 11, 2004 and it will take them 400-450 days to process it. I did not send them letters or ask for anything. I guess they touched my case then... Will update if I hear anything else.

Vikas,

Moreover, my case got I-140 NIW approval on the 26thJan. Same day it appeared online. Actually it still says the same info: I-140 petition received on June 11, 2004 and it takes 400-450 days... I:ve got a letter in a mail, saying that my petition is approved. My credentials and details of my case are on the same page of the forum. So, INS approved my case. However, they failed twice to insert my info in the online database. First it was the receipt of my case and then its apporval. I have got everything in mail in time though. That is more important.
 
I-140 got approved

I-140 got approved (ND 11 March 2005) My FP was done on 6 April, 05 (first FP).
Waiting for our I-485 approval.
Thanks

Congratulations on your approval!

Don't worry about this error. It appears randomly even for cases that were accessible in past through the online system.
