Any recent EB1-Extraordinary Ability or EB2-NIW approvals from VSC?(especially self petitioned cases without any employer or job offer involved). Please share the info including RD, ND, AD, concurrent or not? EAD and AP RD/ND/approval dates.
Thanks a bunch.
 
This is my EB1 info.

RD: April 22, 2002
ND: April 24, 2002

Nothing so far.

What's your RD and ND?
 
EAD and AP

Mine is a NIW case. Filed I-140 at the end of July/2002, and then filed I-485/EAD/AP in Dec/2002. EAD and AP are approved 10 days ago, with 140 still pending.

EB1EA

140 rd/nd end of june, 2002 nothing so far

485/EAD/AP ND: 1st week March, 03 (MD was 1st week of feb'03): nothing so far

alan99, please share how long did EAD/AP approval take from ND to be approved. Was your ND close to your MD of EAD/AP. Do you guys think its safe to start/relocate for a new job on EAD prior to 140 approval.
How is VSC treating such cases? Anyone heard about any RFE's on EB1EA or EB2NIW from VSC.
Lets keep this thread going guys.
 
EAD/AP

Here is my information:

I-140:
RD: 08/01/02

I-485/AP/EAD: (EAC-03-084-*****)
MD: 12/18/2002 RD: 01/22/2003
FP done: 02/26/03
AD for EAD: 03/07/2003 for AP: 03/10/03

I rememeber I saw a NIW case approved couple of month ago. It was a case concurrently filed in Aug, 2002. To me, I wouldn't think of getting to a new position with EAD before 140 approval.

EAD/FP etc

alan, I know there can be concerns regarding starting a new position on EAD. In my situation, my offer would expire midway between EAD approval and possible I-140 decision. So I have been thinking about starting the new position on EAD (when it is through). Any precautions or any other suggestions any one can recommend?

and yes, when did you guys receive the FP notices? is it around the same time as EAD/AP approvals? When they send a FP notice, does the online status change when you check with I-485 receipt #?

We got our FP notice on Jan. 25th, and did the FP on Feb. 26th. My online message was updated two days later, but it took another three weeks for my wife's message to be updated. Anyway, AP and EAD were approved on Mar. 7th and 10th. (they say once you submitted your I-485, INS will preview the case with 60 days).

My case is a NIW one, so I am really cautious about changing jobs before I-140 approval ( I should be careful even after the approval). But since yours is EB1-EA, there is less pressure on your side. The only problem I can see is: if a REF is issued, EAD/AP will be suspended.

?

alan,
1) are you certain that EAD/AP are suspended while the RFE is handled? This is something new I have heard. I heard that EAD and AP remain active and valid even if you get an RFE? Are you refering to the case where 140 RFE is issued even before EAD/AP are approved?
2)Did the FP message change 2 days after you got the notice or 2 days after you got the FP done?
regards

Just wanted to add my information

I-140s EB1- EA

RD: June 3, 2002

"Concurrent" 485

RD: September 13, 2002

I have been tracking several sites but have seen only approvals for EB3s.

Has anyone tried calling into VSC? Any response?
 
EB1-OR (VSC)

No news yet. NO FP!

I haven't filed anything beyond that. My question is why VSC have such big gap comparing with CSC. Is something wrong over there?

Hi Redhead
Did you change your address or change any jobs after filing I-485. I am working on a grant and it is due to expire with the result for new one coming next yr. I am in a dilemma as wife has got a new job in a different state (same center) and I am thinking of moving with her. Will my changing jobs and moving create a problem. my 485 (NIW) was filed more than 9 months back.
 
i did not change job or home address. and I am under EB1-EA, so do not know much about NIW. have been employed with an investment bank.

i guess changing the address or the employer should not be a problem.
