They ususally send it out the very same day via a regular mail. So, it might come in as early as 3 days from the date of approval or a max of 1 week.

Hey friends,

I had my approval on 31st Jul. I am waiting for the hard copy. Do you know if there is a way to apply w/o the hard copy? How long does it take? Any statistics on that? Some people say it takes 10 days.

I am wondering that if it really takes 10 days, what will happen to the folks whose labor would be certified around 8th or 9th of August? This might turn out to be an issue.

Are you guys planning to go for the immigrationvoice rally? I strongly suggest we should all go...

Good luck to all of you.

Rakib,

I called my lawyer. He said that the Hard copy should come to him. If the hard copy does not come through, he will present it by downloading online petition which has been stamped as 'certified'.

Just curious, do you have a birth certifiate. For me I just have affidavit of my parents. I was born in Midnapore West Bengal. The municipality would not supply me Non-Avali. Cert.

Do we need to file original PERM approval letter that we get from Atlanta Perm Center with I-140/I-485 or a copy of the original PERM approval letter is good?

Rakib,

Gr88 to know that you got the hard copy. You said you got it on 08/04. Just curious, since it was Saturday (08/04), I donot think you could check it from your lawyer. Did the hard copy come to your home address / office address? Does the hard copy also go to the employer too?

I would greatly appreciate your reply.

Hi rakib, which state are you in? You were certified on 7/31 and the hard copy reached you on 8/4 from Atlanta via your lawyer. I consider this a pretty fast turn around. Please let us know your state if you don't mind. Thanks!

My approval was 7/31. Got the hard copy today 8/6. I recommend you guys to tell your lawyers that you will pick up the copy and take it to the employer for signature in person. Otherwise it might take a long time through the mail.

Well, accd to USCIS FAQ# 3, they will accept a duplicate if the original is lost.

I guess DOL can't even mail approval notices correctly leave alone processing LCs in a timely manner!

----Bad news guys----, just check the link here and read this FAQ # 10
http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/EBFAQ1.pdf

Q10: Will USCIS accept employment-based adjustment of status applications under July Visa Bulletin No. 107 if the priority date is August 1, 2007 or later?
A10. No.

Priority date according to USCIS is the date when I-140 is received by them.

We lost it guys... I confirmed this with my lawyer too... Your Labor must have been approved by 31st July and then E-file 140 same day !!

Can this we confirmed ? I googled it and everywhere I am hearing the same thing... Somebody pls confirm...

I 140/485 is filed by EB1/EB2/EB3.

EB1 don't need to do LC/PERM and so for them PD depends solely on i140. So for them if they file I140 after Aug 1, then they are not eligible

For EB2/EB3 which needs PERM/LC, PD is when your LC is submitted, not approval date. If you submitted PERM July 31 or before and get approval before Aug 17, you are ok, qualify and should apply for I140/485 by Aug 17, making sure USCIS receives your applications on Aug 17, not Aug 18.

Hope that helps...
