TRACKER: Feb - June 2003 in Spreadsheet

It could be either ways:

1) I140/I485/EAD/AP applications can be sent at the same time in one package or
2) I140 can be applied first & I485/AP/EAD applications can be applied after getting the I140 receipt.

Both the above are called concurrent filings in layman terms. In my mind concurrent is if the I485 is applied before the I140 is approved.

Hello All,

What does Filing Concurrently actually mean , Does the lawyer actually file for the I-140 first , gets the receipt number and then attached this receipt number while filing for 485- , AP and EAD .

Can someone please explain ,
Thanks,

Raju,

Quick question for you. When filing for I-140, is enclosing a copy of the Foreign degree equivalency evaluation report enough? or should the original be submitted.

Let me know.

Thanks,
Dave
 
Hi Dave

I beleive the copies should be alright for the educational equivalency certificate.

As far as I remember the only thing that we need to submit in original for filing I-140 is the "Labor Certification".

My RFE is related to Company's ability to pay.

Based on the spreadsheet, it looks like NSC does approve fairly quickly after they receive the response for the RFE. Let us hope for the best.

Thanks!

Finally my 140 got approved today(sep 10) . They just updated my online case status today.

Lin-03-107-xxxxx (14th feb) EB3 Non concurrent RIR
( No Labor substitute , No RFE)

I did file my 485 on 22nd july so i can say its semi concurrent.

It was a really long wait taking in consideration that its 140 and not 485 :D.


My FP,AP pending ....

Thanks.

Update :- EAD Approved sep 11

In the spreadsheet, the I-140 in many of the non-concurrent cases are still pending. Does it mean that non-concurrent filing will affect the I-140 approval, make it longer than concurrent cases?
 
mimihu

you are right the current trend at NSC shows that the Non concurrent/consular processing 140 takes more time than the Concurrent applicants.

I can say that because i myself filed Non concurrent 140 on feb 14 and it was after that i filed my 485 in july 22 i got my 140 approved on 10 sep ....but one thing is definite that if yhou file concurrent it should be approved in 3-4 months time and if its EB2 it will be much faster than that period .... atleast as of now trend is like that at NSC.

hope it helps ....thanks.

Hi All,

360 replies. thats a big number. Also, its time we changed our spreadsheet to reflect the current filers. so i am creating a new thead with more timeline coverage.

i would like to summarize any important phone numbers and other info that we discussed in the 360 replies of this old thread. if anybody would like to send me a summary that would be great. i can put it in as the first message in the new thread along with the spreadsheet. i think it would be a good way for anyone starting out on the new thread and not lose any info that was discussed in this one.

so here is to fresh starts....

prashant.
