Discuss shreri7's I-140 USCIS Case

Have you heard anything

Not yet...

Just curious, why would you need to apply for I-140 if you already have a US nationality.

have you got any news?

Nope..

any news my friend

Nope not yet. After my SR, they mentioned that I should hear back in 60 days- which will be sometimes next week..Let's see. Any updates with you?

news?

Nope. Nothing yet

Congratulation!!
Would you share us your academic background? Education with field, papers, citations, letters and so on.

PhD. in Chemistry, 15 total papers at the time of application in which 5 were first authors, Around 130-170 citations, 8 letters 6 of which were independent, few presentation at national conferences, few editorial activities for Journals in the field.
The approval itself took a longer time than expected. I filed my application in January 2014 and did not hear back until July-by which time my application was out of the normal processing time. I then called USCIS to file a service request over the phone. Following that, in about 2 weeks (around August 6th) I got an email saying that I should hear back within the next 60 days. I did not hear back anything until Sept 29th so called USCIS again. After talking to the immigration officer, it was mentioned that my application was put up for review with an officer on Sept 22nd and that it takes 30 days after that to make a decision so I should hear back by Oct 22nd. Shortly after that call, I got an email from my lawyers saying that my I-140 was approved and the status on the USCIS website also showed "post-decision activity". Hopefully, the I-485 process will not be so long. Good luck to the rest who are still waiting. It will be over soon.

Thank you so much. This is a great information that can help others.
