green card through marriage pending because of labor certification file .
hello guys ,
I really need your help here . i filed for my green card through my wife and within 3 months my interview was done , and the interview went fine , me n my wife r married for 5 years ,i had a lawyer with me , but the officer did not give any decision because she did not have my old file of labor certification ,i had applied for labor certification in 2000 or 2001 and its pending on the final stage too,the ins officer said she will have to review the old labor file and then make a decision ...its been 8 months and i have not got any decision so far. i have taken info passes twice and all that it says is they have requested for additional documents from another office , me and my lawyer believe that the labor file has not yet been submitted to the ins officer because the last time i went to ins with my info pass, the officer told me its just been a week that they have requested for additional documents , thats when my lawyer said that the marriage based green card office has again shot an email to the office of labour certification requesting for the labour file . my question is that y does it take so long for them to just get a file .what do i do now to fasten this process pls help .
You are stuck in a rock and a hard place, there is nothing you can do except to wait for them to do the needful.
Did you file an I-485 based on employment?
If yes, did you write your A# on the marriage-based I-485?
yes i did file for an i485 based on emplyment , well i dont know mu lawyer filed for me ,but in the interview the officer took my i94 and the work permit that i got from emplyment based ,as i had two work permits one from marriage based and one from employment based ,my lawyer asked the officer that y they didnt have my employment file and they said they dont know and that they will be getting the file and reviewit and withdraw it and approve the marriage based file if everything is fine ....but its been 8 months they still havent got the file yet ,just last momth they requested for the file again .thx for all ur replies .
