I-140’s to be processed within 4 months from April 2009
http://www.immigration-law.com reported today:
10/08/2008: I-140 Processing in Four Months by April 2009?
- This is a five-month old information which has just been released. This source of information indicates that the USCIS was hiring and training new employees and by April 2009, I-140 petitions might be processed in four months. It is a good news in a way.
The Attorney Matthew Oh posts DAILY breaking news on this site and has been doing so for years without fail. His biography page on the site says - “Mr. Oh was the Chairman of the Region V (USDOL/CHI)/Minnesota SESA Liaison Committee of Minnesota/Dakotas Chapter of AILA (1998-2000).” You may be aware that AILA members always have access to classified information and meeting notes with USCIS that the general immigration community does not. Most good immigration attorneys are part of the AILA but the Oh Law Firm is the only one that I am aware of, that posts to a blog or a community forum on a daily basis.

With regards to I-140 that kind of confuse me somehow. I was informed by my lawyer that my I-140 is now being processed, and so I have to pay both the INS fees and the legal fees. I don’t mind paying, although it’s already causing me financial difficulties, but that was our agreement, so I am bound to fulfill it and I will. I understand the INS fees and the legal fees to process my I-140, but I have this nagging question as to why do I have to pay for my dependents too for I-140 processing when I am the only worker being petitioned? What does I-140 got to do with my dependents? What I know is that it is only in the I-485/I-765 that I will then have to pay for my dependents so they can be included. Besides, I thought, we don’t have to pay for the I-765 because ours will be done on a Consular Processing, meaning we don’t have the option to file for a work permit because we are still outside the US. We can only have the I-140 and I-485 concurrently filed and once approved and current, we are considered immigrants already and can enter the US legally to live and work. Please enlightened me if I am missing something as I don’t want to keep bugging my lawyer that he might think I don’t trust him enough. Would appreciate any help.
