Yes as kenboo said I think there is no connection between 140
and fingerprint. I read that USCIS was issuing fingerprint
requests in 3 months earlier and now they change to 9 months
so that the number of times fingerprint has to be done to be
reduced as there are delays in 485 processing.
Hope this helps.

my I-140 has been denied, and subsequent I-485, I-765 including for my wife have been cancelled altogether. This morning I went to Los Angeles office to get interim EAD, and found that out.
The date of denial is Feb 14, 2004 which is 3 days after 'RFE Received' date (Feb 11). I have not received the notice letter and the online status is still 'RFE Received' anyway.
I will discuss with my lawyer. I don't know yet whether I should appeal or not. One thing that I'm pretty sure is that I will look for a better job. My H1B is still valid for 2.5 years, and I was out of the country for almost a year. so total 3.5 years remain.

thanks for your comments. I was a little depressed in the morning, but quickly recovered.
I talked to my lawyer. First, he doubts that USCIS processed the RFE just within 3 days. They received RFE on Feb 11th. If they really processed and denied, he suggested to look for a new employer rather than appeal. Since my company filed loss in the TAX return, and the possiblility of denial at appeal is high, I guess. Also there's salary cut and other condition is becoming worse. So it's good for me to move to new job.
In a sense I always wanted to know the result regardless approval or denial. The GC was the only reason why I am wokring at the current employer. Now I can move
kenboo!

Kenboo, Sorry to hear about your denial. I think the INS is processing RFE's pretty fast these days.
I think you are correct in looking at the bright side of it - you can move on to something better now , now that the yoke that tied you to your employer is gone. All the best!

Very sorry about the outcome of your I-140 application. The good thing is you still have quite a bit of time left on your H1. You can potentially start over with a different employer and still make it! Good luck!
I'm anxiously waiting after responding to an RFE - my company has also posted losses for the specific years in question. I wonder if I should assume the same result as yours.. Unfortunately I don't have much time left on my H1 - I have just filed for a 7th year extension.
I hate to bother you with questions at this time - but, if you feel like sharing can you give me some details - is yours a consulting or an in-house job? how long has your company been in business and how many employees? do they have a history of GC sponsorships? lastly, you mentioned something about a recent pay cut - do you think it could've impacted the outcome or did they even know about it?

hi popsy
my company (system integration, software R&D) does both consulting and in-house development.
the company was established in 1989
the number of employees is 10 (max 50 in late 90's..lots of H1B guys).
history of GC sponsorship ...yes. 3 guys of current employees got the GC based on the employment at the company.
the salary cut doesn't matter because it's effective this month. I have not received the pay stub yet.
I think my problem was the salary which is much lower than the level 2 prevailing wage stated on LC. I should have noticed that much earlier ;-)
