Thanks eb1doc for your input. I have one more question. Will there be any effect of passport renewal on pending I-485 case? Once you renew the passport a new number will be given. Do we need to send a copy of new passport to USCIS? any comments on this.

Hi guys,

I am quite new to this forum. I know couple of my friends who filed I-140 and 485 concurrently (NIW) about a week later than me got their I-140 approved in the month of Dec. 2005. I do not know how USCIS is processing the individual cases?

My details are:

EB-2 NIW (VSC)

I-140 ND: 9/23, LUD: 9/24
after that :confused: nothing...
I-485: ND 9/23; FP results UD 10/20/05 after that :confused:

The updates with I 140 is not so common, in my case I saw an update and the next day it showed approved and notic e sent, so I think if there are no RFE, and if you see an update, indicates the approval. good lluck

Hi,

Any I-140 approval under NIW-EB2 from VSC especially those who filed before retrogression. Please post them.

My I-140 under EB2-NIW is still up in the air :confused: and my profile is posted in this forum.
 
my I-140 has been approved

Hi,

I got a lot of help from this site. Finally, my I-140 has been approved. I sincerely wish a good luck to everyone.

NIW at VSC: I-140/485 concurrent filing, EAD
RD 1/4/06
AD 1/31/06
 
LUD has changed

Hey guys.

I have been waiting for my NIW since June 05. My LUD did not change not even once from 7/1/05. Then all of sudden, it is now 2/3/06. I did not receive any email from INS. I am getting super nervous now.
I don't know if they have sent a RFE or what?

How come you case got approved so fast. What do you think could be a reason for such fast approval (just 27 days) ? Please share your credentials.

I would like to share my credential with you. Hope to be useful for you.

EB2-NIW @VSC: I-140/485 concurrent filing along with EAD
RD: 1/4/06
AD: 1/31/06 (no RFE)

1. Major: Organic Chemistry
2. 5th year Ph.D.student (F-1)
3. 8 papers were published (first author for 7 papers); 2 papers to be submitted; 1 US patent submitted; 2 national meeting conference abstracts; 3 invited seminars; just around 15 citations
4. 3 fellowships including 1 big pharmaceutical company's predoctoral fellowship from 2003-present
5. 8 recommendation letters; (1) 6 from US (even all same city), 1 from Canada, and 1 from Japan; (2) only 2 independent letters; (3) 6 from school, 2 from pharmaceutical companies

As you saw, my credential is not impressive. I read so many great ones here. By the way, I have a great lawyer. I have a couple of friends from the same lab and they all hired the same lawyer. He is so useful to prepare the template of recommendation letter. He coordinated the letters so efficiently without any flaw. He prevented a lot of hurdles that self-petitioners might have such as repetition of same sentences etc. Every letter is different.

I sincerely believe it is important to have an efficient way to make a presentation of your NIW case. I think my lawyer made a difference. In addition, if your case is strong (for example, your case can satisfy three requirements easily), you have a good chance. In my case, my work is strongly related with preclinical drug discovery program. I sincerely wish a great luck on your NIW case.

niwboy from our forum reported a RFE for more independent expert letters. I see that processing date is close for several of us. Good luck to everyone.

Keep us posted with your good news.
 
Rfe

Finally I got an email notice from INS today saying that they sent a letter for RFE.
I am so nervous what if this RFE is really bad one.
I guess I have to sit tight and wait until my lawyer gets the letter.

MY RD was 6/30/05 for NIW.
 
Sk94,

Can you post your background?

VSC process date is close to my RD. Need to be prepared...
 
pplu,

Calling pplu, sk94, NIW-VSC05, Niwboy, chemboy, blueorchid, sep06niw, piperwarrior,

I am a "Do It Yourself'er" (DIY). If you are comfortable sharing with the forum, please indicate if you DIY'd or went through a lawyer.

Just trying to find a trend as to why some applications were looked at a millenium ago vs the rest?
