Starnge status change after 140 approved

[xiaomatu]

My I-140 was approved on 5/8/2008 and my attorney received the original approval notice on 5/14/2008. The online status on uscis website was like "approved, approval notice sent" at that time. But since 5/22/2008, the onlien status changed again into:

Application Type: I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER

Current Status: Document mailed to applicant.

On May 22, 2008 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service.

Anybody has any idea what this "New document" could be? My attorney said he has not received anything yet. Thanks in advance.

This should be the approval document.

Thanks for the reply. But like I mentioned, this case was approved on 5/8/2008 and the approval notice was sent on 5/8/2008 and received on 5/14/2008. Between 5/8/2008 and 5/22/2008 the status was "approved, approval notice sent".

Afterwards since 5/22/2008 the online status became "new documents sent on 5/22/2008, you should receive it within 30 days". I do not think this "new document" is the approval notice coz I even received it before they sent. Just curious what could this "New document" be. Would it change the status of my I-140 (like revoke or withdraw or RFE)?

Hi

What is is your 140 Filing Date and which center ?? When did you see Status change online. Did you see any change, while the appln. is being taken for processing.

Actually, my question, is my 140 went to TSC on Aug 29, 2007 (From NSC), As per latest procesing statistics, I see, upto Aug 26,2007, cases were cleared by May 15th. My case, must have been taken for processing by now. But I donot see any Status Change.

Donot know, how correct are these Processing Statitstics. Did 140 processing Date go back in TCS. How do I know, approx. date of my 140 clearance. I am really in need of the same, as I am running a tough situation.

Appreciate any inputs to this situation of mine.

thanks.

I think my question is: is it possible for USCIS to review the case and change the decision they made after approval? Thanks.

I had a similar experience. Four weeks after my I-140 was approved, I had another LUD and when I checked the online status, it had the same message that you mentioned. When I asked my lawyer, he told me that it ususally means that the employer has received a copy of the approval as well. And sure enough, 3 days later, I found out from HR that they received the I-140 approval letter and they wanted to know what to do with it.

Does this mean both the employer and employee get their separate copies of I-140? I assumed only the employer/lawyer gets to have the actual I-140 approval.

My attorney and my employer has different address. My attorney received the approval notice on 5/14/ when it was approved on 5/8. Then since 5/22, USCIS's online status showed some "New document" have been sent to the "address they have on file" on 5/22. It could be they sent another approval notice to my employer or could be they sent something else. So far neither my attorney nor my employer received anything from USCIS yet since 5/22.
