My case history is like this.

Company A applied for labor certificate in 1998 for a guy X.
Labor was certified and I 140 was also approved on 1999.

Then that guy X left the compnay without applying I 485.

In 2002 company A used that old labor certificate and apply I 140 to me.

But after more than 17 months I got RFE " ability to pay". The problem is company A is now sold to company B. Company B is a new company and doing same kind of business as compnay A. Company B wants to continue sponsership.

But I am not able to get tax returns and other finincial documents of of compny A. It isn't in exsistance anymore.

Do you guys have any idea how to reply RFE. Sounds like very complicated case. I am in deep trouble now.

Please gurus help me out.

Thanks in advance
 
It maybe not that bad. Just after I started with my current employer, they went through some kind of merger / name changing / etc. They sent a letter to INS where they said that company A is the successor of all interests of company B, and that my empolyment remains the same... My EAD and AP got approved since then, and I hope my I-140 wont be affected...
So just ask you current employer to send similar letter along with other requested finansical documents.

Good luck!
 
My friend received similar RFE after the company was divided. He did I-140 amendment. He collected the documents to prove his company came out from original company (I think it was SEC filings and some other). These document he bought it from Internet. He also enclosed newspaper articles on that. Also provided the current companies letter stating that they are sponsoring him. This was done during last month. Case is still pending VSC. It is a May 2002 case.
 
Seems like neither of the companies are public. If they are public you are in luck, just search the web site and you can find the financial for that company and the merger.

If either of them is private, which I assume is the case, I think then you need to talk to your current companies Finacial Officer and he should be able to provide the relevant information. All that you need is the merger document, the current company's financial document and a letter odf support that they will continue your processing. These with a decent cover letter should do the trick.

Wish u the best.
