[Urgent_140]

Dear Gurus-
I have an URGENT and Unfortunate question. My I-140 got files 4 days back. So, I have wait for either Receipt or Check clearance to get the Receipt Number to file I-485. Can someone please advise how many days it takes to get receipt number or Check to get cleared? Please also advise depending on the current situation.

If 140 docs are couriered you will probably get the delivery receipt today. Based on the usual timeframe you should get the receipt notice within 2 weeks from now unless it was PP, in that case much sooner than that.
By the way, how come you chose to file 140 and 485 seperately?

I-485 can be filed using a cover letter explaining the situation with a proof of delivery. Proof being the cashed check or delivery receipt.

Q19: What procedures should be followed when filing an I-485 application based on a pending I-140, when the petitioner has not received a copy of the I-140 receipt notice?
A19. Applicants filing a Form I-485 that does not contain a copy of an I-797 receipt notice for a previously filed Form I-140 are advised to put a brightly colored sheet of paper on top of the filing with the following notice and information: TO THE MAILROOM: The enclosed I-485 Adjustment Application(s) should be matched with a pending I-140 Immigrant Petition for which no Receipt Notice has been received. The Immigrant Petition [type, e.g., I-140] was delivered to [Service Center] on [provide date of filing and tracking number]; Petitioner's name; Beneficiary's name; Beneficiary's date of birth; Beneficiary's country of birth.
