When i filed my I-140, I received the receipt within 2 weeks. Thereafter i filed I-485 & I-765, its been over two weeks, no news from vermont. They have not deposited the check yet. As anyone been thro a similar situation. Thanks all

did you filled up your I-140 based on labor certificate?

They will cash that check any day now. If they don't cash it in the next 2 weeks, then start to worry.

Yes, i filed I-140 based on labor certification.
Marie, after they deposit the check is when they issue a receipt ? Do u know how long vermont takes for I-485 ? Thanks

I dont know how long it takes them to send the receipt but this whole process is going to be slow. Just be patient.

Just watch to make sure they cash that check and if they do, don't worry about it. You'll get your receipt.

Thanks Marie.....Wish this could go faster but its something beyond control. thanks !, Have a pleasant day

according to processing time in Vermont Center
currently has for 1-485 applications
date 8/15/2001 and reciept notice-processing time

Hi....I sent the application around the 2nd week in August (10th), and to be precise i rec the receipt more toward the end of august 28/29, so please excuse what i said earlier. It did take a while, over two weeks. Hope this helps

hi, seashore
that me again bother you about some correction.
the friend of my has been send his I-140 (of course with lawer help inthe end of April or
beginning of the May this year).He did not have heard sinse than, so we're wondering haw it's
works, even he did not recieved any notice yet.
can you make some comments to this
thanx, lesia

one more ?
what category of the profession are you,
i mean skilled or non-skilled, or high
profesiional?
thanx a lot, lesia

My attorney represented me for the I-140, employment based. The receipt according to my research with other people in my company who also applied takes about 15 days to arrive from the date the ins receives the application. Only the employer and the attorney receive the receipt so it is up to the attorney to send a copy to your friend. I am not sure if your friend's application is employment based. My attorney sent me a copy of the I-140 receipt. Let me know if this helps. I think your friend should have had the receipt by NOW.

hi, seashore
thanx for your promt respond
The friend of my has also employment based
filled up this form accompanied with the lawer.
everythink looks OK.but the point is his lawer has not recieved any notice yet.in my aknowledge
hi has filled as a skilled worker (such a mechanic
for european machines lines or some kind of equipment like that).
so we still do not now yet anythink haw far we are.
thanx, lesia

You know.....I have heard similar siutations where some people they get results much quicker than others. Sometimes i think ins has all these officers handling different applications and sometimes the systems backs up, so the wait is a little longer. have faith (give me some too :) )
and know that everything will work. Good luck to your friend

Thanx again, seashore
