approved I140...whats next

[pink blush]

hello, My I140 just approved recently. Please explain what will happen next. I have already done my biometrics last May..how soon can I be scheduled for my interview? My files are transferred to texas service center..any inputs please...

By the way, is it true that once your I140 was approved its like saying that "you are now a permanent resident "

I am now currently in the US with working status.

Hey,

Just got my I485 approved yesterday and the green card has been mailed to me.

Timeline :

Application for I140, I131 and I485 application received on the 27th of April, 2006.

I140 approved - May 20th, 2006.

I131 approved - May31st, 2006.

I485 - mail sent to me for more documents - Nursing License and VSC - June

7th, 2006.

I485 - documents received June 24th, 2006

I485 approved - June 28th. Card sent same day.

Thank you allf or your prayers. The application was really fast ( 2 months). I think it makes a big difference if the lawyer you use knows what he/she is doing. Also, Texas S C is really fast.

Good luck to those waiting for theirs.

Hello Maro and Suzanne, my I 140, 485, 131 824 and parole was filed and recieved last April 6 , 2006 at Texas SC although originally I filed it for California SC but somehow it was transfered to Texas SC because of backlog in California SC. Got aprroval for 140, 131 and parole last May 6, 2005., since then I am now working here in California. Last May 1, 2006 I received a letter requesting me to go to Oakland support Center for fingerpinting and biometrics including picture taking for green card. The person who did this told me to wait for my green card in 60 days in the mail but up to now no notice from USCIS or any update in portfolio via email from USCIS. Last update is june 6, 2006. For my family I 824 no notice also. Any inputs why the delay.I used also a lawyer. The laywer just told me to wait. I called the customer service number of UsCIS, but could not give me answer beside what is in the updated notice as of June 6.Thanks for any help and inputs. Hael and Dael I know you are here already may be u could help too. thanks a lot zuriel

Hi Zuriel,

I think what your lawyer said is the right thing. All you can do is wait. It depends on a lot of factors - Service center, immigration officer who is handling your file, documents received. So since you already have your I140 approved, all you can do is to be patient and wait. Mine was extremely fast but that is not the norm. TSC usually take btw 4-6 months.

I hope this helps. We are praying for you.

Maro

Hi,Maro.

Your process was so fast. What state you went thru?

I'm in NYC and very worried about I140 approval time.
