Re: re:
My lawyer asked for my work experience letters only at the time of applying for I140. When applying for labor, he just took a copy of my resume.
Please research more, my feeling is that one does not need work experience letters during labor certification process since labor clearance is "job specific" and not "employee specific".

Hi Eppudu
What column of 485 application needs the letter from employer???
Check BCIS website for desired documents. It does not mention letter from employer.
If you are filing based on an offer of permanent employment in the United States, you should submit the following:
I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status
G-325A, Biographic Information
Copy of your I-797, Notice of Action, showing that your I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, has been received or approved by INS (As of July 31, 2002, an interim rule was published in the Federal Register allows for concurrent filing of Form I-485 with Form I-140, if a visa number is immediately available.
I-693, Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status
All required supporting documentation as listed on the forms
I believe your employer is using delay tactics (to keep you hooked longer with the co.) Had you filed 485 concurrent, you would have been a free bird 180 days from date of filing 485 (condition I140 should be approved)
------
Mr sanshriv
You are right in saying that I- 485 has nothing to do with Employer.But pls do remember that the Employer needs to issue an employer letter that goes alongwith the I-485 bundle which he is unwilling to issue at this moment.
Let me know if you know any other means to circumvent that.
Tks

Labor should be filed based on RESUME BUT to the best of my knowledge you can not use experice gained in the company that is filing GC for you

if you look at the I485 form it clearly says on page 2(lower left corner) that a employment letter is required . it also says the details that should be on that letter.
i am in the same boat too where the employer is not willing to file 485 till the 140 is approved

Naanshi/Naaggi,
Is there any harm if you keep checking your I-140 status from the UCIS tracking page very often?.
Just curious to know whether they keep track of the queries they receive.

You are right. I checked my packet today. I had filed concurrently and their is an employer letter.
So what does INS claim about I485 is on individual & has nothing to do with the sponsoring co.
Well can't argue with INS
---
For your question if you can get experience letter from your collegues that should be enough. Also INS website states it need not be on co.'s letterhead but it should be verifyable (in sense if they wish to contact that person to verify contents, he/she should be reachable)
