CSC I-485 Filing- May to Dec 2005 Tracking

[gp111]

I am opening this new thread for tracking & Other Information exchange for I-485 cases filed at CSC from May to Dec 2005.

Here is my Info

[shahramt]

Hope this thread will be as good as I-140 thread.

RFE for 485, yesterday.
Seems the processing dates are not very meaningful as mine is more than a month after the current processing time of CSC

Good News for Visa Movement

AILA has reported the DOS advised AILA that "thanks? to" the decrease in demand for EB visa numbers from USCIS I-485 cases and 245(i) labor cases still being held in the Department of Labor, the visa number would progress forward as follows:

• Worldwide EB-1 and EB-2: There will be no cut-off date for the these categories.

• Worldwide EB-3: Unlike the DOS previous prediction that the large number of 245(i) filings would be filed during March and April 2001 and it would result in a surge of EB-3 number demand and would limit movement of the cut-off date, 245(i) cases still remain at the DOL and therefore there will be movement in EB-3 visa numbers.

• India EB-1 and EB-2: It will continue a rapid movement for the next several months.

• India EB-3: It will move ahead but may become limited down the road.

• China EB-1 and EB-2: It will continue a rapid movement for the next several months.

• China EB-3: It will stay at the Worldwide date.

Same story! Filed in June 2005 (EB2, PD current) and no change in LUD. No FP notice yet...

[gp111]

I contacted CSC yesterday about FP Notice & found out they sent me in August but I never received it. I have requested to Resend.. Lets see when I get it.

[tantan]

Thanks for all the updates. That really helps. I updated the spreadsheet we had on Aug 140 tracker. Deleted couple columns and extended 485 LUD part. So, please review your name and status and update it if needed.

I got a copy of the 140 approval last Sat. On 1/23 rcvd FP schdule letter for 2/9. Won't be in town at that time. So will go for early FP next week, if not possible reschedule.

Shahramt got an RFE. That means there are some officers working on late July. I guess that's good news for all the Aug applicants.

90 days after President Signs it.

[mkGC2005]

I did contact CSC maybe 2-3 weeks back. Here is the reply from Mr Williams

"Fingerprints do expire after 14 months. It is best to hold off on getting
printed because you could be printed more than once by the time the visa is
available"

Also called the 1-800 number, but they were not helpful as the processing date is 1 week earlier than my ND.
At this point don't know what to do. Any advice appreciated.

[shahramt]

Received the RFE.
It asks for the employement letter (to verify if I am still employed) and also the 3 most recent paystubs, 2004 W2 and 2004 tax return records.

[matt30]

GP111,

Why does the CIS request for paytubs?? I thought that the salary for employment-base greencard is for the future postion. They should require the proof of the ability to pay of the company, not your w-2 or paytub.

I am asking this because my current salary is way below the salary in my approved LC.

Please have some words,

Shahramt,

May I ask what is the size of your company??

Thanks

gp111,

One question. RFE asks for 2004 tax return records. I don't have a copy so I need to request one. There is a form "4506" for copy of tax return (39$, takes 60 days) and "4506-T" for transcript of tax return (free, takes 10 days". do you know which one I need to request?

matt30,

To be exact, they want to verify if the applicant is still employed or the job still being offered. Our company is about 15 people.

Pay Stub & W-2 is proof of following.

1. You are currently working with the employer.
2. You are currently working in Same/Similar Profession
3. You are maintaing H1B Status
4. Employer is paying you the wages regularly
5. Employer is able to pay

Its okay to have current salary less then what mentioned in LC as long as Employer is able to pay.

Shahram

does RFE asks for Certified Copy or Just Copy of return ?

If its just a copy then you can make a copy from your records (or get a copy from your accountant / H&R Block / Turbo Tax whatever you used for file return).. By the way YOU MUST KEEP last 3 return copies with you all the time.. Its law by IRS.

If the RFE asks for certified return copy then you have to contact IRS & pay fees ($39). You can request them to fax it which will be faster (about 2 weeks)..

I think to come to this forum gave me good luck.

Today I received an approval e-mail.
I didn't know that CSC is working on saturdays. In the e-mail today they wrote the approval date is 01/28/06.

Hope good news and good luck to everyone and get the same e-mail soon.

FP scheduled on Feb. 2, 2006.
