I got the I-797 approval notice in mail but no card yet. I heard CARD takes few weeks.

How long did it take for the I-797 after the approval of 485? Which service center was this at?

From Dallas.

jlt007us, all the best.

It is getting close. Card Production email received on 10/24/07 but I am still waiting for my EAD. Supposed to start working on Monday.....

I had sent my EAD application on last week Thursday through express mail and I recvd the same status first time. On Monday, the status changed to delivery confirmed when someone picked the notice I think. My checks are cashed today so you may have to wait for a day and it should be fine.

I do not support this campaign. As someone famously said if house is burning no point in rearranging furniture.
IV level campaign should be focused on administrative and legislative fixes.

From my experience, Crows are black everywhere. Unless you join non-desi company. it is hard to find desi company who keeps everything in black n white.

Best bet is to try to workout something with you present company.

Labor + 140 if complted without any RFE would take least 8 - 12 months. But considering today's conditions that is highly unlikely so ballpark figure would be 15 - 18 months. Also if it gets rejected for any reason lawyer mistakes or A2P or education etc then it would be waste of time and resources.

Any gurus can answer this question?

February visa bulletin will be out this week any day.

What is the opinion of gurus who analysed that latest USCS numbers about dates? what do you predict?

I gave you RED for a misleading title for this thread. Be nice and clear.

Does anyone have any idea as to if "YATES MEMO(on being able to use AC21 with a pending 140 for 180 days)" is still relevant or overridden by any subsequent memo/law?

Hi All-

I have a tricky scenario here, I need some input/guidance.

I came to USA during Dec 2003 through a California based Indian Consulting firm. I worked for him for 2 years. In between, he
applied the petition for my labor in April 2005 on eB2 Category and my responsibility was to pay for the GREEN CARD expenses.
During Oct 2005, I joined an American company as permanent employee. Even after that, due to the good terms with my previous employer he agreed to apply for my I-140 during 2007 June and I took care of the financial aspect of it. The known understanding was that I will join his company in near future, apply the I-485 and get the GC.

Two months back my I-140 got approved and I was waiting for the priority date to be current. Last week, I came back from my India trip. I got engaged during my trip and my marriage has been fixed in Nov'08. Today when I checked the UCSIS site, the priority date for the eB2 category is current.

My questions are:

1) At this point of time, I do not want to join my old employer.Working with the current American company, can I still proceed and apply for the I-485 through my previous employer ??.

2) If not, Can I use the earlier priority date(April 2005) by applying for a fresh GC(perm labor/ I-140) from my current employer?

3) To use the earlier priority date(April 2005), do I need to take approval letter from my previous employer ? Is there any chance that the old priority date can be revoked by the employer ??

If any of you guys have had/come across the same kind of scenario, please do let me know what would be the best way to proceed.

I really appreciate your response in this regard.

Thanks!!

Validation Error(s)
You must correct the following error(s) before proceeding:

* Case Status Retrieval Failed
* This Receipt Number cannot be found at this time in this automated system. Please check your case receipt number to see if it is correct. If you have questions or concerns about your case status, please contact the National Customer Service Center.

I have been getting the above message when I try to get a case status online for my I-140.

I filed concurrently for I-140, I-485 with EAD and AP on Aug 15th at TSC (EB3) and received receipt notices on 10/14/07 for all of the above applications. I also can get case status online successfully for the other 3 applications.

My attorney contacted USCIS (as they said that I cannot inquire on the I-140 and that it can only be the employer or the attorney) and they (USCIS) said they can see my case on their system but don't know why I cannot.

Is anybody in the same boat as I am? Should I be worried that I cannot get online status even after 8 weeks from the time the reciept notices were issued? Any advice/input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
