You still here koenig

koenig,

Long time no see. I thought you would have been approved by now. Has your 140 been approved yet? My case finally made it back to TSC and they approved my 140. Just recently they confirmed that my 485 is back at TSC. Not sure when the approval will come.

If we all are waiting from 2003 than why INS is projecting that they are processing case of April 2004.

Does anyone have idea that what can be done in such a situation.
 
Reasons for delay

avnapa,

Firstly the released date is representative of the majority of cases they are working on. If 90% or more of cases from 2003 are complete and they have started working on a lot of 04 cases then they move the date forward. It is very possible that something went wrong with the pending 02-03 cases. Here are a few scenarios -

1. Name check is pending. This is one of the major problems these days. The FBI needs to conduct a name check for every applicant and a lot of times this process casuses delays. There are several flavors of this problem. One is that USCIS never requests the FBI to conduct the name check. The second one is that the FBI takes a long time. The third is when the FBI completes the name check and sends back the results but USCIS misplaces them.

2. The file could have been transferred to the wrong office.

3. USCIS loses the file or misplaces it.

Any of the above is possible. What you can do is call and start an inquiry. Since the date is well past your filing date you now have reason to approach a Congressman or Senator.

regards,

Saras,

I have been busy settling in to a new job. I was happy to read that your I-140 had been approved.

Unfortunately, nothing has been approved for me. I did my 2nd FP a week before you did, but nothing has come of it. No LUD changes at all. I think theyhave reset my RD to 10/2004.

I was thinking about contacting my Congressman and Senator again. Hopefully that will kick things back into gear again.

Take care

I can't believe it ...

koenig,

I can't believe that they have not yet approved your 140. I think you should contact your area congressman or senator. They cannot push your date to Oct 04 when you actually filed in 03. You must have the filing receipts and that is what matters. Their online status can claim anything.

I sincerely hope they can get to your case soon. Keep in touch.

SAras76,

How to contact congressman or senate and what can he do for us.

If you have an idea please help.

Immigration attorneys are just suckers they care for their money only. My attorney doesnot have time becasue she is busy all the time with meeting and cliantes very hard to catch her
 
First call TSC

avnapa,

If you are EB3 then just wait till October 05 before doing something. If in OCT your PD is current then call the TSC and get a phone inquiry started. All you have to do is call the 1-800 number and since your date is well before the processing date they will place an inquiry for you. This may get something moving.

If after this there is no update from TSC then you should approach your area congressman. All you have to do is call or visit his/her office and talk to the immigration liaision. Do this as a last resort thing.

Hopefully in Oct your case will get approved without doing all the above.

good luck,

saras

Hi saras76,

Thannks for the suggestion.

Fortunately I have received an email that I-485 has been approved for me (primary applicant).

But my wife's I-485 is still pending. Last week we had gone for finger printing which has been rejected again. This was third time. So I guess it is pending becasue of that.

Could you tell me what would be the next step. I am sure that I am not going to get this approval letter soon becasue as usual they will send this letter also to my previous address and which will be returned again and than again it will take a month to get this letter. I want to travel next month.

My case was in EB-1 (a) category

once again thanks for your suggestion
 
This is good news

koenig,

An RFE is great news I think. This shows that they are finally working on your case. I think your 140 will be approved soon after they receive your reply.

Good luck and keep me posted.

saras
 
Since my I-140 and 485 is approved. Can anyone tell me when would I will be able to get passport stamped. I have not received approval letter.
 
what is the rfe about?

Hello Koenig:

Can you please throw some light on what the rfe is about? It will help those with their i-140 at pending or filing stages. Thank you very much.
