I140 pending for 1.3 years

[krkamani]

Hello Friends, 

 

I have my I140 applied in Nov 2012 and its in "Initial Review". We have raised two Service Requests on this case but no response so far. 

 

Any reason why a case can be in this situation for this long ..

 

Can an I140 wait for below any of the below or any thing else

 

1. IRS Audit

2. Waiting for next year W2 to compare salaries

3. My Company bought by some one else

4. My Pay ran on the company only for 5 months After Labour got approved.

 

 

My Employer said we can extended H1 (for 1 yr) if I140 is in process state , Hence I did not do Premium. Strangely I heard that USCIS is asking for Client letter for I140.

 

 

Please advise if you have any idea .

Even if you are entitled to an extension of your H1 in one year increments as your I-140 is pending more than one year the usual rules for a H1 approval still stand and they can ask for client letters where relevant.

Hi Krkamani,

I'm going thru a similar situation. My i140 was in initial review for more than an year and recently my employer upgraded my case to premium and he told that the case got an RFE for client letter.

Can you let me know if there is any update to your case?
