Applied for I-485 Supplement A & I-765 through an Attorney

[Visitor User 253]

Hello. The Immigration Attorney of the Beneficiary sent the packet to the Chicago lock box on 7/18/2017. Tracking # shows it arrived the next day on 7/19/2017. I know that it takes 2-3 weeks as stated in the USCIS to generate a receipt. Does anyone know what they do in those 2-3 weeks? Also, how long does the entire process takes on average these days? Does receiving the Work Permit before possible interview means the Beneficiary is officially granted a Permanent residence? Any chance the interview will be waived?

 

Additional information:

 

Current home country Passport has been expired for few years. Also, no advance parole/travel forms were submitted.

 

The U.S Citizen mother (Physical presence in Texas, USA) filed an I-130 for her Overstayed Visa Son 21 and over unmarried (Physical presence In Texas, USA) through an Attorney. Priority date June 9th, 2011. It was approved on May 19th, 2014. Priority date is Current as of the May 2017 Visa Bulletin.

 

The beneficiary also had an Application for Alien Employment Certification paper work done employer (California) signature dated March 6th, 2001. Beneficiary Signature and date on March 11th, 2001 (Different Attorney). Form is ETA 750 A and B.

 

The problem is that the Attorney that filed the I-130 is asking for receipt date April 30th, 2001 or earlier. The Attorney that filed it back in 2001 has the ETA 750 says:

 

(Make no entry in section - for Government use only

Date Forms received

 

April 12th, 2001

 

Occ Code is filled.

Occ Title is filled.

It also says RSH/EDD on the left side.

A 4 digit code written.

 

Replaces MA 7-50A, B and C (April 1970 Edition which is obsolete).

 

Part B Page has a blank section in Endorsements. DATE REC DOL / O.T & C is Blank.

 

The attorney that filed Application for Alien Employment Certification in 2001 says: CA was not issuing acknowledgement notices like TX.  Forms with date stamp by the state agency are acceptable and says they have handled several successful cases like this with this sort of evidence.

 

Chances of getting it approved?

hi

 

it all depends on whether immigration accepts that letter as proof that there was a petition filed on behalf of the beneficiary under the 245i law

 

the need is on the beneficiary to prove that he or she had a petition filed on or before April 30th 2001 to be grandfathered under the 245i law

Based on the information provided in this post. Do you think it will be enough for them to accept it? What are the chances?

no one can say, he might receive a letter of denial or get to the interview and the officer will decide

 

he just has to wait

Sad news for me:

 

Request for Initial Evidence Was Mailed

On April 30, 2018, we mailed a request for initial evidence for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number MSC-. The request for evidence explains what we need from you. We will not take action on your case until we receive the evidence or the deadline to submit it expires. Please follow the instructions in the request for evidence. If you do not receive your request for evidence by May 30, 2018, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

 

10/4/17 was RD but why would I get a RFIE? It should be RFE right?

 

I am afraid that I won't be able to provide the document(s) they need. This is very depressing. I am losing hope here. My lawyer says to wait for the mail.

 

I see some people getting it for latest year W-2 document because they had not filed the return yet but the case took enough that when they had to provide tax return for 2017 they could later. I pray that it is just that for me so I can submit it.

RFIE was only for BC with ET.

 

7/31/18 Case ready for interview.

 

Does this mean they were satisfied with the 245i qualifications documents that I sent?
