I-140 applied in CA office

[sairam9]

Has any one's I-140 got approved from CA region who has applied around July, 2002.

I have applied on 31st, July 2002.

Any clues why it is talking longer than 6 months.

hi sairam9...

I applied I-140 in July 12,2002 at the CA INS region and still no news yet.I just found out that those who have applied concurrent ie) I140 and I485 together in November 2002 have got their approval.INS is not looking at the I140 petitions that are not concurrent.I am planning to apply 485 but my comany is not ready to do this.
Is Your's concurrent?Is it regular labor or sub labor.
Let's stay in touch.Pls send me your email address.

hi,
starting from July31,2002,you can file I140 and I485 together and this is called concurrent.I see that a lot of folks who filed after me getting approvals and all of them are concurrent filers.
Pls post your email address if you want to keep in touch so that we know what's going on.
