Does I140 Approved candidates have any hope??
*** Thispost was contributed by Smanagoli ***
Among legal immigrants waiting, there is huge block of people who are in worst possible scenario..
The specific group I am referring to is, the ones which have Labor and I-140 application approved but priority dates are not current.
Given that there is huge backlog (thanks to July-2007), situation for these folks is really really hopeless. If these people can at least file for I-485 and then utilize AC21 - they can atleast obtain flexibility to better future job prospects/promotions without affecting any process changes.
we are looking at processing time of at least 4 years due to huge backlog - being stuck with same employer for such a long time puts these group of people at very vulnerable position and absolutely unfair..after waiting already for 3yrs…and still dangling
USCIS/DHS can help these folks without affecting any of their processes and wait time for others if they just allow approved 140 candidates to apply for EAD that can allow them to use AC21 in future.
Do any of you have any other suggestions??Thanks for reading!
