Here is an update on my case..

just wondering if anyone in my kind of situation got similar message..?!

"On February 16, 2006, we received your response to our request for evidence or information. It is taking between 850 and 900 days for us to process this kind of case. However because preliminary processing was complete, the remaining processing time will be less than the maximum stated in this message. You will receive a written decision on this case."
 
I had an FRE on my I 485 which I sent on Nov 19, I have the same message on my status since 11/23/05. I also do not know what does that mean.

Good news for EB1C - hope to get more good news in this cat.
 
Received reply from USCIS

Today I have received a letter from USCIS for the enquiry that I filed about the delay in 485 approval.

The letter says my background investigation/check is still on and hence the decision on 485 is pending. As soon as the background check is done they(USCIS) will take a decision on my 485. Until then Jai Hind. :eek:

Does anybody know what sould be my next step.

Thanks so much.

Hello dcmetro22042,
Do you have the exact wording on the RFE notice? One of my friends has received a similar RFE and as per his lawyer, there is a way of getting around it.
From your signature, I saw that you did amend your application from EB2 to EB3. Did you try to get USCIS to process the case as EB2?

Thanks in advance.

Guys: This update is quite unfortunate for me it seems. Have not been able to talk to my laywer but my HR rep did. Now she has no idea what he told her..went over her head. I think what she gathered is that USCIS is telling my lawyer to convert the case from EB2 to EB3. Not sure why :(

Here is my Q. Will they expect us to re-file or do they just convert from EB2 to EB3? We barely made the dates to file concurrently. If they ask us to re-file, me and my wife shall not be able to get benefits of EAD/AP and that would be such an unfortunate thing. I shall talk to the lawyer on Thursday where he is going to explain things to me.

Until then I am worries...will I have to re-file and loose 485 benefits? Or does USCIS simply convert EB2 to EB3?

To add salt to the wounds, just got an email from USCIS that my EAD has been approved and cards shall be mailed out soon, when ready. If my EB2 is not converted to EB3 and 485 needs to be refiled..it would be quite unfortunate..having received cards which are useless! :(

Does anyone have any info on above?

Nope I never saw the RFE notice. Also, since I was in 7th yr, I did want to take a chance and therefore accepted the offer.
 
Guys:

I have not seen my 140 approval. What is the actual text of the 140 approval? Does anyone have a screenshot with personal info hidden?

Thanks
 
dcmetro22042,
Thanks for your quick reply.
If you don't mind, can you give me your lawyer's name?

Thanks again.
