I-140 delays

[alisa]

I am starting this thread for people who are still waiting for their I-140 approvals.

There is a thread about the delay in I-140 approvals at TSC. However, from what I can tell by looking at data, NSC is worse than TSC.

The processing dates suggest that NSC is looking at March 2007 I-140 applications. But thats what they have been saying for the last three months.
In December 07, the processing dates for NSC EB3 were at January 2007.
In July 2008, the processing dates (NSC, EB3) are at March 2007.

We are witnessing the birth of another 'backlog elimination center.' This must be pointed out, so that there is a chance that this could be stopped.

I've been waiting for 400+ days for my NSC-EB3-140 to get processed. Really frustrating!! :mad:

Received by USCIS on June 4th 2007. Have been waiting since.
So 400+ days for me too...

My EB2 I-140 is pending at NSC since 1st May 2007. I have a PD of 5th May 2004, which is current as of August, but looks like until my I-140 is approved, I would still have to wait.

Thanks Alisa for opening this thread.

I read a stupid thing in one of the thread
"I-140 will not be approved until PD is current" ,
Is this true?

I'm stuck at NSC since May 11th 2007 - no movements. They have purposefully stopped working on EB3 140 at Nebraska

Do check with your company/lawyer to see if it has been approved. My online status still says 'pending' even though I heard from my manager and lawyer on July 18th regarding the approval of my I-140.

Approval date was July 14th

My husband's I-140 is pending at TSC receipt date Dec 07. The processing date is in Jan 2008. how can we enquire why his I-140 is still pending. no LUD what so ever.

Contacted his HR. they say, they are waiting for reply from law firm.

Other than form 7001 that needs employer signature, are there any ways to enquire into the delay?.
Thanks.

any inputs on how to open a service request or enquiry through senator's office for I-140 processing delay?

[ganesha]

My 140 was filed in Nov 2006. I had to wait 2 full years before my case got approved in Nov 2008.

My lawyer did not even open a service request. She was against infopass too. Her reason was that these would work for any other case except 140.

Based on my experience, I would recommend the following:

1. Ask your lawyer to go through AILA. This is the most preferred way and should work in 99% of the cases (This is what worked for me though it took a lot of time)

2. If option 1 does not work, try to go through your local congressman.

Hope this helps. All the best.

Any enquiry on 140 can only be done by the company or the lawyer. You have no other option except being nice with them:mad:

My I-140 is stuck at NSC from more than 750 days. I had 2 RFE's and last one was answered 4+ months ago. Last Friday my attorney had raised SR for my case after we answered our RFE. Can anyone share how long it takes for USCIS to answer on SR in case of I-140 application? :confused:

Your input is appreciated.

I totally agree with all you guys on the delay in 140..I was also in the same situation...Applied 140/485 in the July/August 2007 fiasco in EB3 (PD Dec 2006) ..After a long wait, received a mail on Feb 26th 2009 , stating that my 140 is approved...

Good luck to you follks..lets hope for the best...

My lawyers filed a Service Request and I contacted the local congressman for my Pending I-140 at TSC. Should I be worried since those actions would jeopardize my case?
