As much as I hate it, there is little we ordinary Indians can do about it. Economic improvement is the only way to fight corruption. I have immense confidence on Manmohan and Chidambaram to do that. Who knows, someday maybe they will convince us all to go back. Then we won't have to suffer...

You are missing the point! The topic of discussion is, why can't we have one document that serves both purpose and valid till we get GC? I guess, this kind of process improvement requires systematic thinking which the CIS are incapable of, or unwilling to do. They will probably say, the...

The "old fashioned" way is still working the same way. But don't panic, this has happened before with other members but they got their approval. Its some kind of bug in their system. Do you see your case in the profile page? I140_2003

Every CIS document has a form number, for EAD card it is I-766. This is different from application form number (I765). While the version of the form I765 may change, there is no indication that the number will too.

To add to that 140 processing is a two step process. The actual processing and review. The processing date refers to the first part. So, if your case is filed before the processing date, be sure it has been touched. During the processing if they cannot take a decision they mark it for...

:D Hmm...I think it is well established that 140 and H1B resources are interchangeable. This has happened before. Last October, with new H1B load, i140 started to lag behind. When h1B quota was filled up they allocated those resources back to 140 and we all know what happened. Maybe, they...

hmd Good argument. But the I140 resources may not capable of handling 485. But the resources who handles FP might, as they are part of the same team. I was following the VSC 485 thread, there were quite a few approvals last week. I think they have started working on 485. Yes, we need to see...

hmd I am not disaggreing with you. This is why I think they are doing this. 1) Holding 140 will make some resource idle. 2) Holding 140 will not reduce the backlog. The backlog is counted as a whole and not for 140's alone. With backlog reduction a prority this will not fly. This is what...

Jharkhandi The extra work is in doing it twice. Right now, people from March'02 are getting approved. So, they still have 14 month's of FP's to process. They should utilize their resource to process the existing one's first. As an applicant, what's the use of getting FP done knowing fully...

Jharkhandi This may imply that NSC is implementing the Fujie memo. VSC may follow, keep fingers creossed. Regarding FP, I think just sending out FP notice does no good, just increases the service center load. They should send out FP notice only when they can process the case in a few months...

This is to the best of my knowledge 1) Will that h1 be counted as a CAP case ? --- YES 2) Can that person start working with the H1 receipt ? ---NO 3) Will USCIS provide the I94 attached to H1 approval? ---No, you need to leave the country. I94 is provided for renewal, this will be a...

Jrinny, SafeNH Congratulations! What was the last update date on the USCIS profile website? Please share with us. I140_2003

Mine too Mirium99, Laxmany My 140 last update date is 05/04/04, no change in message, no e-mail. ND: 09/09/03 (concurrent, no FP)

Who said people didn't like to hear this? All were waiting for a thread like this to make some fun of and forget our frustation for some time. :D Almost nobody agree with you though, including me. Relax man! being paranoid won't help.

That is safe to assume. They always ask to wait 30 days for the review. Anyways, there are not many in VSC who qualify the memo immidiately. For others they need to clear the FP first, which might very well take a couple of months. At least if we see some FP notices that would be a sign...

My 485 last update date is still Jan 7th, when I changed address. I haven't received FP notice. Keeping fingers crossed.

I scanned 25 cases filed on my date, Sep 09, only 5 are approved. In the profile page my cases was last updated on May 4th. Don't know what to think. Are they processing my case or did they update my case to mark it concurrent? Any ideas?

New update The new dates are out EB2 - September 9th, 2003 EB3 - August 22nd, 2003

You got my blood pumping, ND 9/9/03 Congrats!

Look like concurrent adjudicators will have a tiny workload. What will they do after they are done with Brigand, gc80, gc11111 and charleydol? Thank Fujie for giving them a break?
