Tracker:485 Approvals after Retrogression:Oct to Dec 2005

Folks most of us do exit the forum after getting approvals so I am posting this thread few days in advance for people who are approved to share data here to let us know how the approvals are coming forward after the retrogression

No EAD/AP/140 ino needed for this

Please post here your 485 approvals preferably with format
Category: xxx, PDxxx, NDxxx.

Will help us analyse the USCIS approach and trend....

[IPC302]

IF possible Please also add the country u belong to ...if not interested to reveal your country at least mentioned whether u belong to world wide category or the IPCM category(I- India ,P- Philippines,C-China,M-Mexico).

[veryblue]

It is probably a good idea to make this thread a sticky. I think you have to send an email to the forum administrator.

[dcmetro22042]

I just filed my I140/485 last week. will surely be monitoring this thread.

this is good idea nato -- come OCT I predict at least 1000 approval in each centers between Oct - Dec..

The feed back will certainly help us analyse the trend...

theRealCandian --- please do help and make this thread sticky atleast for few months.

The recent approvals does show Ur theory might be true for EB3's.

[ar888]

Made the thread sticky.

[dcmetro22042]

I would like to see some movement in dates for both eb2 and eb3 in Oct thru December. Assuming that there shall not be a whole lot of applications 99, Im hoping it moves to mid to Q3 of 2000.

[eb1doc]

Likse wise for Eb1
I am sure there are not many cases for 2002 for Eb1..it is quite likely that dates will move to 2003 soon!

Although I am not entirely sure, I think we got it because her I-485 LUD changed 10/3, and when I click on the case it said status is not available at this time. Why I think so? Because same thing happened to me on 9/22/05, and I received the magic welcome notice two days later. Also same thing happened to several people in this forum. I am hopeful. And you guys should be hopeful too. I will keep you posted.

BTW, We were not approved at the same time because on 9/22/05 she was issued a RFE based on "NO TB TEST due to pregnancy on 08/06/04" (our PD for I-140/485 NIW EB2). RFE RD 09/28/05.

We are from country C.

[flywash]

Just received an email saying case is approved and a new card is order.

Best luck to all of you!

[dcmetro22042]

How often is the USCIS website updated?

[nato]

NSC folks try to post your OCT approvals,Would help others see the trend here on a consolidated basis.

Flywash above is a derivative approval.

Guess poeple who already got approvals are gone ;-)

What do you mean by I-485 "LUD" does this mean online update?

Hopeful that the same theory will extend to EB2 after oct 1

Na Na ... nobody has gone ... there are simply no more approvals ... All the "documentary approved" cases are sitting in State Department awaiting visa number ... and all the state department worker are busy with the Katrina and Rita relief efforts ... I think we should go in and help them with the relief efforts ... atleast that will allow them to do there real work and make us HaPPy.


But atleast right now lets hope the next hurricane season is not so much bad .. or else we might see our packet sits around for year n years..

No guys we will not loose --- in past we all asked USCIS to accelerate there process ... they gave enough gas to labor and 140 ... but the state department build a dam with there visa number ...

The better idea will be we ask the senator n congressmen to make the validitiy period of EAD and AP for 5 years ..


What do U think guys ...

Hi, all,

What's your take for this:

http://www.rupnet.net/immigration/re...ned=1&mplace=1

It's a EB3 approval on 10/05/2005.

fiveice

[Lakshya]

He is from Pakistan.....

[fiveice]

Well, even Parkistan has 01MAR01 as the cutoff date for EB3. The guy's PD is 04/19/2001, which is later than 01MAR01.

fiveice

[nato]

approved as posted in the forum elsewhere. just wondering if it is the same guy..but PD is different unless he deliberately mentioned feb 01 in lieu of april 01

[fiveice]

Hi, all,

I checked the first hearing on S. 1033 and S. 1438 on 7/26. Core sponsors of both bills testimonied before the hearing.

By looking at both bills, I would think S. 1033 seems very promising.

It has the following good things:

• increasing the number of employment-based numbers from 140,000 to 290,000 per year, reallocating the distribution of those numbers, and providing for the recapture of unused numbers;

• increasing the per-country limits for both family- and employment-based immigrants;

The per-country limit is increased from 7% to 10%.

fiveice

Quick Q..How did you get the status on the Name check clearence?

[ak_new_member]

Is there any EB3 approval since 1 Oct? With the priority dates backlogged so much I would think there would be some approvals to justify the retrogression. But I don't see any approvals. I wish this process was more transparent and we are not left out in the dark to make our own interpretations of the USCIS actions.

I did FP on wednesday and I noticed that there is a LUD for today but the comments did not change. What does that mean?
