"Dear Sir,
I have filed an application to adjust to permanent residence status with Vermont Service Center of INS on ------. I completed my finger printing on ------ and is waiting for approval from VSC. Mean while in March 2000 the company I work for underwent a re-structuring and I am continuing to work for one of the spin offs.
My application is well beyond the 540 days time limit VSC is advertising for I-485 cases. After talking to VSC I came to know that they have kept my I-485 on hold due to Company restructure. According to them no INS guidelines are available on how to process these kind of cases as per new S2045 law enacted on October 2000.
As late as early February 2001 VSC was sending I-140 redo RFEs for such cases and approving them based on 140 redo. INS contention is that as per new law I140 redo may not be required. But they are perfectly willing to place my application on indefinite hold. Even after 6 months of law enactment INS is unable to come out with guidelines on how to implement it.
I offered to redo my I140 as per old law if that will help in lifting the hold on my application. VSC has turned down that option. I am made to live in suspense until INS HQ comes out with guidelines at some indefinite future date.
Meanwhile other Service Centers like California Service Center is giving the applicant option of either waiting for guidelines or redoing I-140. I am unable to understand why VSC cannot follow such a sensible course. Different Service Centers are processing differently. Even within VSC some lucky applicants are getting approvals without hold or I-140 redo.
I request your kind help on getting VSC process my application. They are holding my application hostage to their own failures. Please help me. Thank you very much. "
