Got Labor and 140 Approval notice th' FOIA

[rkp27]

All, My employer who filed my eb2 application for green card was not giving me labor certification copy and 140 approval notice copy, he is a desi consulting company and as usual with desi company they were giving me tough time to get this documents. (You all know reason.. they think that i will quite). So what i did is requested USCIS to get my I-485 petition copy (remember that if you request 140 or labor copy directly they will not give because it seems that is employer's documents, i discussed this with couple of lawyers as well). since 485 is your application and these documents are mandatory you will get them.

It took about 10 months to get the document with FOIA request (there is a queue as well).
This is what i did

1. Download FOIA form from uscis website.

2. Fill up form and don’t forgot it get notary ( mention to send each and every page of petition).

3. Wait for document...

I will be happy to help anybody who is in same boat.

Thanks you.

Did you have a receipt number for 140? I'm in the same boat but I didn't apply for 485 yet. and I don't have a 140 receipt number.
