Those who applied in oct/nov 2004

xyr888,

Thanks for the clarification. Based on that:

I-140 & I-485 RD: 10/13/04
I-140 & I-485 ND: 10/19/04

I'll let everyone know once there is any, hopefully good, news on my case.

Regards

alaimalai,

Thanks for your quick response. ND stands for 'Notice Date' which is 3 or 4 days after your Receive Date. CIS is processing cases based on the ND. It seems we are on the same boat. Not sure it is good or bad before the decision, either RFE or Approval. Please post your updates if you get anything, I'll do, too.
I know "SanJoseIndian" also just had LUD on 140 on 04/28/2005, no idea what his is about?

Just got email from attorney that my I-140 is approved. Sub-LC EB3. The PD on I-140 is Mar 2002 (LC filing time) instead of I-140 RD. That’s one thing I was always worrying about. Now expecting I-485 anytime. What a wait!

Congratulations!
How did you know about the PD? Has your attorney already received the 140 approval notice by mail?

good luck with your 485. I am also waiting for my 485 approval.
 
I-140 approved

Hello my dear friends,

Last week I received an email from USCIS telling that my I-140 was approved on 04/25. Sorry I posted the information one week later because I need to get my atterney receive my approval notice and send me a copy, in order to make sure everything is fine. Then I can update you with real and accurate information.

If you look into this thread you know that I was participating in some dicussion before. Basically it was about the PD shown on my FP notice was wrong(it was my case RD instead of my real PD). From the I-140 approval notice it shows right- the PD is at Feb 2002.

Thanks a lot for all of your nice comments. I hope you best luck for your own cases. Will keep update you about my & my wife's I-485 status.

Here is the detail

I140/I485 concurrent. CSC EB3. Own labor.
PD 02/14/2002

RD 11/08/04
ND 11/12/04

FP ND 11/24/04
FP done 12/29/04

Just got my labor approved, need help to decide CP or 485?

Hello,

I just got my labor approval... from California.. I must now getting in line for the next step... I am wondering if I should go CP or 485?

Here is the thing:

based on my PD which is Feb 2002 I am eligible for concurrent filing... besides I am going to file in EB2 which makes it even more simple to concurrently file... California is now processing Nov 2004 so looks like I am 6 months away.... given this does it make sense to file 485 or CP.... what is the processing time for CP?

Can I file 140 first and after a few days/weeks file 485 and still get the benefit of concurrent filing or should I know up front what I should be doing..

Thanks,

Mo

To SanJoseIndian & alaimalai,

In my previous reply, I mentioned recently three of us got LUD on 140 with no message change (alaimalai 140 LUD on 4/22/2005, SanJoseIndian 140 LUD on 4/28/2005, and mine is on 4/29/2005). The reason I raised this question/posting is because some got 140 LUD with no message change have got RFE in the following 1 to 15 days, and other got approvals in the following 1 to 15 days based on the data posting on this forum.
Here I'd like to post some approval cases which have 140 LUD on their cases with no message change before their their approvals.

love_usa: 4/13/2005 got 140 LUD with no message change and got approval on 4/18/2005.
GC_ssr: 140 LUD with no message change on 3/28, 3/29, 3/30 and got approval notice on 3/31/2005
gunnamoo: 140 LUD with no message change on 3/9, 3/18, 3/21, and got approval on 4/16/2005.

Others got RFEs after 1 to 15 days of their 140 LUD with no message change .

So I guess, we have 50% to 50% in our cases.

In addition, some other cases got one shot approval notices without any LUDs on their 140 since their Notice Date, and among these cases their 485 got approved almost simultaneously if their background is clear.

Guys, any inputs?

Congrats GCIsTortise.

Mine I140 ND is 11/16/04. Hoping i get some good news pretty soon. I just had an LUD on 04/28 on my I140 without any change in the message.
 
Yes, my attorney received 140 notice by mail and PD on it. I don't know my 140 reciept number since our HR was reluctant to tell 140 number and I don't want to fight with them though I know my right.

my_PR,

From Your posting, I learned that you got 140 LUD on your case before your approval on 4/25/2005. I'd like to know if there was any message change on your 140 LUD on 12/24/2004 (ND:11/23/2004). Thanks.

No change in the message. It was the same 'application received' message till the approval.

RFE on 12/25/04 RFE replied 01/02/05
RFE received LUD on 01/07/05
(RFE was just to provide a letter to show that I worked
with this company for past 7 years )
I485 RD 11/04/04 ND 11/10/04 FP 12/04/04
FP results updates on 12/10/04 .
On my finger print notice it says PD 11/04/04,
does this matter actually my labor was applied to State on 3/03/02 .

EAD RD 11/04/04 ND 11/10/04 AD 03/09 had a LUD a signature was missing
AP RD 11/04/04 ND 11/10/04 AD 01/26
Applied for 8th year H1B extension on 03/08/05 got approved on 04/15/05

I see many approvals for November but no change on mine, can anyone suggest any inquiries i can do. My attorney is too "slow". I have to do stuff on my own and give it to them, bt he will do anything I suggest. (Basically its an Attorney's assistant, Attorney hardly does anything.
Any help would be appreciated, I see unitednations helping everyone. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

You can check with your attorney to make sure he used your own LC to file I-140. If that is the case you are fine- see this thread of my post in last November: I got the FP notice with the PD as my I-140 RD. It brought a huge worry to me. Finally it turned to be ok because my I-140 approval notice shows the PD is the correct one(back to 2002).
 
I got it

Dear friends,
I just posted a question today.
Guess what the good news is I just receive the emails ,
Both I140 and I485 is approved.
 
Congrats!!!

Enjoy the freedom :)

Did you get any LUD on your 485 before approval?
(Other than FP results updates on 12/10/04 )

visa_gc_04
 
There was no Lud on 485 after FP update
on I140 I had an RFE asking for a letter saying what are the positions I held in the company for last 7 years. RFE was received by INS on 01/07/2005 , till today there was no LUD.
I was actually getting nervous RFE reply was about 90 days ago.
Today my prayers are answered.

Good Luck to all of you and I will pray for all of you.
 
140 approved, RFE on 485

Today I received few emails, two for 485 RFE for me and for my wife.
One for 140 approval. I and my wife both had LUD on 485 on 4/29/2005.
I don't know what this RFE is about yet?
One thing I have noticed that if you get a LUD near the end with out any msg change then it’s more likely that you'll get a RFE.
Does any body know how much time INS is taking to clear 485 RFEs?
Is there any body out there who is in the same situation as me?

Thanks
 
OCT-05 2004 still no news

My RD for I-140/I-485 is OCT-5th 2004 and I haven't heard anything yet...Can someone help? What should I do?

Thanks for your help!
 
OneDude!!
LUD on 485 right now without message changes would infer name check passed for RD around dec 2005 because lots of Dec Filers got an LUD in last 2-3 weeks

my 2 cents!! :rolleyes:
