Merging this thread to another thread. We already have a thread specific for tracking I-140 cases under Texas SC. All those who wish to contribute to it may post on that thread instead.

Hi to all!

I don't know why my application is taking too much time.
Receipt Date:8/8/2006
Notice Date:8/21/2006
Priority Date:8/4/2006
Approved I-140
What's next?
I have no idea on what to do. I've been checking my account at USCIS and only it says approval notice sent.

Hi , why dont you call up NVC on 603-334-0700, enter your USCIS receipt number, they will give you your NVC number and give information on the status of your file.

I had exactiy the same problem since my 1-140 was approved May 20 2006. I called my lawyer times without number , his response is always RELAX until my friend with the same pd and approval was interviewed and left . At last he told me that my approval letter was missent to National record centre instend of National visa centre . To cut the story short , I paid certain amount to file for 1-824 july 2007 and duplicate of aproved 1-140 was sent to NVC sept 2007. I strongly advise you to mail your atorney and advice that I-824 be filed so that you can benefit from the movement in pd.

There was a retrogression that started October, 2006. Anything that was submitted around then or even just before will not move any further than approval on the I-140. A visa bill miust be sent and paid before the government here will send out the DS-230, and then that needs approval as well before one can be in-line for a green card.

Does not matter if the PD date may be current or not, but the fact that a completed file is needed as well before there will be any interview scheduled. And without visas being current, we are not seeing much in the way of visa bills being sent out, etc.

If there are no visas available, then no forward movement. Also be aware that there has been a slow-down in processing as many immigration employees have shifted their focus to getting those that have pending citizendhip thru so that they may be able to vote this November. That is a priority here in the US, not working on green cards. Sorry to say, but that is just how things are at this time.

If you are doing consular processing and the I140 was approved then your file is not with USCIS anymore. It is already with NVC.

You should be asking your lawyer or agency for your NVC case number or you could ask NVC themselves. You can check out the NCV-CP-GC tracker thread on how to contact NVC by phone or e-mail. For you to ask for your NVC case number you should at least send them your USCIS number.

Your lawyer and/or agency should also be on top of all this. You should ask them your status.

I just received notice today via email:

On April 28, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I140 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

PD July 19, 2007
I-140 Approval April 28, 2008

Thanks Lawrence and John 83 for your support in this forum.

Now I get to wait in line but at least it is the last line in this long journey since it took years before we even got the chance to apply. First with my husband who lost his job in the process with IT and now with me...to get this far. Been in the US since 2000.

I am so happy for you, want to see pictures of the house.

And thanks for keeping us posted.
