ALL THE VERY BEST

Also, make sure to waive the signature confirmation if mailing by USPS Express Mail. I forgot to do that in my case. USPS left a note to pick up my mail and the following day a person from USCIS picked it up from the post office. I called the local USPS office in Mesquite, TX and they told me to not worry and this is normal for them. USCIS does pick up signature confirmation mails from post office the following day. But to avoid any confusion or delays, better to waive signature confirmation.

Gurus and GuGurus ...
I have been a slient visitor to this forum for a long time ... Today i went ahead and created the profile expecting suggestions and answers for my Questions ... I am a Dec filer - NSC - RD - 12/5/2011 | ND - 12/8/2011 | EAD/AP - 1/13/2012 | FP Completed - 1/11/2012 but still waiting for my I-485 ...Recently i started panicking because i have been waiting for more than 95 days and still there is no sign of approval or RFE ... Today i called the USCIS number and got stopped at the L1 level itself ...

You should be fine. What did the L1 say?

**harsha131** · 03-09-2012, 01:22 PM

As we are still under 4month wait we cannot create a ticket, I guess only option is to wait for the time being and pray to get lucky.

Guys ,

Here is my latest status. I filed as dependent using my Primary Spouse receipt. And unfortunately mine went to TSC and spouse was sent to NSC. Anyways, today I received USCIS alert that my case has been transferred to another Service Center, which I gather is NSC where my primary got 485 approved already.

Since I'm a December Filer EB2-I , I have already been in line for over 3 + months . Since it is transferred to NSC now, does it mean the clock on my case starts now and runs its full 4 month processing time . Any idea how this will work. I was really hoping to get approval this month and be able to travel to India end of next month . My attorney says it is common for them to transfer cases between service centers when they have too much work load.

Filed case in Dec 2011 , TSC, Received EAD ; 1st week of Feb ; 485: Case transferred to NSC latest status ??

Guys, got CPO mail some time back.

God has been kind, though i came to the US first in 2002(first because in between i was not here for a few months) and filed in 2008 the trouble i went thru in between pales in comparison with may of the folks on the forum. Yes its was like the end of the world when my PERM was denied and then in audit for 2 years(just not knowing anything was agonizing). There were many uncertainities over last 2-3 years but again, life and god has been kind.

I honestly think my processing got a boost simply by logging on to this forum.

I had originally thought i will send a note to the tune of Aayo re.....aayo re from Swades but it hasnt sunk in and will wait on the celebrations for many others on the forum to get greened.

My only major contribution to the forum has been the doc on post #1 of this thread which has been read by over 100 people( and no, it was not me clicking it again and again) which makes me feel good.

Goodluck all!!

Guys, can you comment on my concern? will 140 amendment delay my cpo.

thanks,

Congratulations leo07, Pdmar08 and others. Enjoy maadi!!

Please do share how you celebrated this much awaited event.

**Sandeep2011** · 03-09-2012, 05:16 PM

dec2007, i am in same situation as you. My PD is Sept'07 and i filed my case in November'07. I work for a Private Equity firm which got acquired by a management consulting firm in Sept'11 and i had to file an 140 amendment as well along with my 485 application. My lawyers are telling me that 140 amendment need to be approved before USCIS can approve 485. Unfortunate part is that USCIS treats 140 amendment as a fresh 140 application in case of Successor of Interest applications. Please share if you gather any other information.

**gc5000** · 03-09-2012, 05:54 PM

Hello Sandeep, why don't you go with premium processing for I140. I know it will cost you around $1000-1200 extra but still an option.

It could go either way. 50-50 chance. You could see updates in week's time and if not...then as usual 3-4 months.
