I-140 tracking without LIN# or Receipt Number
Anonymous2 views4 answers
My employer who is highly insecured that I will run away from him if he gives me the I-140 application receipt number has denied me of giving it. Now I want to track my application. Looking at the long line in FOIA it seems it might take 6 months so is there any alternate way that I can use to track my I-140 application. This desi employers are just Ra-one !!

Nope. The sad thing is, you will probably not get it on FOIA either since according to the Agency's policy, only the petitioner is entitled to this information.
I filed FOIA on several beneficiary's cases and did get a copy of the I-140 despite the fact that the policy is indeed such that the copy should only be provided to the employer.
No. You are not entitled to a copy of the receipt. Obtaining status updates is extremely difficult without the receipt number. USCIS will not provide information unless you are the petitioner or the petitioner's attorney. The Form I-140 belongs to the petitioning employer not the alien beneficiary. you will hopefully get a copy in your FOIA response.
