TSC Updates – 05/14/10
Reopening of a denied I-140 case - Cases when a denied I-140 is reopened, the center (TSC) usually reopens any ancillary applications like I-485, I-131 and I-765 that were denied only because of the denied I-140. Generally the procedure takes about 60 days for the file to be acquired form National Records Center or AAO and to reopen. If the ancillary cases are not reopened within the 60 day period members can make an inquiry with the NCSC customer service line or –email to Streamline.Tsc@dhs.gov
