My I-485 petition is pending with Texas Service Center since October 2002. In fact I got my last EAD renewal approval on Feb 7, 2005 (much after the inquiry below) and I got the EAD card too. I got very concerned from the latest update as I have changed the job lately.
On 1/7/05, USCIS updated the processing time for TSC on its website. As per the update, TSC was processing the I-485 for December 2002. Per the instructions on its website, I called the USCIS customer service center inquiring my case status. I received a letter from USCIS on 1/28/05, which says that the status of my I485 service request is:
“This case was denied on 03/05/2003. The denial notice, with explanation, was mailed to the address of record on 03/05/2003.”
The best I can think of is, this update is from the old denial. I had received letters from USCIS (dated March 06, 2003) stating my I-485 and EAD petitions had been denied based on the denial of my I-140.
After that Motion to reopen the case was filed and my I-140 petition got approved. Then I received another set of letters from USCIS (dated May 8, 2003) stating that my I-485 and I-765 petitions denials have been withdrawn as I-140 petition has been approved.
I had the following processes since the mentioned denial date (March 5th, 2003) in the message:
1. Fingerprinting on 11/5/04
2. I-140 approval on May 8, 2003
3. Second EAD approval in March 02, 2004
4. AP (I-131) approval on July 09, 2003
5. First EAD approval in May 2003
I am surprised with this update in spite of all the above approvals /follow ups. My attorney had sent all the necessary documents with above inquiry response letter on 1/31/05, but there is no response from TSC so far.
Is it a matter of big concern? Any suggestion will be appreciated.
