I140helppls,
Congrats on your approval !! Can you please tell me how many days it took for your lawyer get the RFE letter in hand after online said RFE is sent ? Well, when I checked my case, it tells that it issued RFE on May 07,2004 but my lawyer says that he has not got it yet. So I don't know what the RFE is about.

Congratulations!! mygcacc01 and inthequeue
Thats great news. It's really nice to see LC substitution cases being approved (later than never). It would be really helpful if you guys could provide the following details on your case:
- Did your educational qualifications match 100% with the pre-approved LC. There were some RFEs/denials in cases were 3 year BS degrees + Diplomas were matched to a 4-year BS requirement.
- What was the email address of USCIS which notified on the approvals (so we don't lose it as junk email)
- Do you think having a I-485 application also pending along with the 140 would make any difference in the processing time or approval.
- What was your "Last Updated" time in the USCIS website for your application BEFORE you got the approval.
- inthequeue: Did you get any RFEs
Thanks and wish you all the best for the I485 stage.

Hi GC_Void,
Thanks for the wishes.
The LC that i used was originally filed for a guy who had 4-year BS (Electronics) degree... and that was almost matching my 4-Year BS (Computer Science) degree.
Last Update date on the web site was 05-May-2004 (before approval)
In terms of processing time...don't know abt conc/non-conc makes any differance.....
Good luck...

Good luck guys
I have a 3 year degree .. no other diploma.. but have more than 16 years of work experience. Not sure about the educational requirement on the LC but attorney told equivalent work experience will qualify as the LC clearly states work exp is acceptable. ( which would be more than 12 years )

No RFE's
Good luck to you . You turn might be right around the corner .

I think concurrent applications or semi-concurrent application are being processed faster than non-concurrent applications.gc_void said:
I have registered the day before I got my approval. The only mail I recieved from USCIS was the approval notice.gc_void said:

AP pending for more than 10 months
Hi, all,
My AP has been pending since early Aug'03. Inquiry has been sent a couple of times already. The reply is "Your case is pending further system checks" Anybody has similar experience regarding AP. My AP application was filed together with EAD, I-140&I485. EAD was approved Nov'03.
Thanks,

Got an RFE on 1-140, Non concurrent case, original labour
I got an RFE on my I-140 petition on 6/4/04. My RD is 7/31/03. The RFE is about my employer's ability to pay. Here is what the RFE says:
"Service records indicate that the petitioner has filed for several I-140 petitions, most of which are currently pending. Therefore, submit evidence to establish that the petitioner has the ability to pay the proffered wages of all the beneficiaries including the beneficiary of the instant petition.
Provide evidence of the petitioner's ability to pay the beneficiary's wage. The petitioner must demonstrate this ability at the time the priority date is established and continuing until the beneficiary obtains lawful permanent residence. Evidence of this ability shall be either in the form of copies of annual reports, federal tax returns (with appropriate signature(s) and dates), or audited financial statements. The petitioner is requested to provide this evidence from 2002 to present. The federal tax returns must be signed, dated and include all pages."
However, the attorney told my HR rep that the BCIS has issued a new memo pertaining to I-140 where an RFE for the employer's ability to pay can be addressed only by submitting the beneficiary's W-2's. In this case just submit my W2's. But the RFE clearly says that they should also submit tax returns or any other supporting document. I am not aware of any such memo.
I seek your help here to understand if any such memo has been issued. I dont think that submitting the beneficiaries W2's will address this issue.
Pls. let me know what should be done in this case. I also spoke to the lawyer and told him that I would also like to submit my pay stubs for the past 3 months and he said only W2's were needed.
Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Adi

Doug, do you have the copy in electronic form too
I searched the web but cudn't find a copy of the memo. Is it possible for you to email it to me? I would really like to take a look. My lawyer is very uncommunicative and if he has said it that there is a memo, then that's it. I cannot cross-verify or ask any further questions.
