Questions for CIS Hi Rajiv I would ask the CIS the only one question. In a communication published earlier they claimed to be issueing 20,000 green cards per business day. Assuming this nunber includes renewals too, the total number pending is 1,875,424 (1,236,226 I485's and 639,198...

You will get instant answers for your questions and more if you go to the AP/EAD thread under I485 issues. Hate to say this, but this thread is for I140 only.

Everybody has the right to their own opinion - remember. If M101 has a opinion let him have it - lets not reply. Everybody can spot a troublemaker.

You can only get an RFE if they start working on your case. The important fact here is that they started on the case, not generating the RFE. Normally, CIS looks in your file twice, once when they receive it to validate the entries, fee etc. Second, when it is being processed. Opening a file...

It seems CIS is doing some progress, in paper at least. The number of pending cases has reduced in January. Read the story http://uscis.gov/graphics/shared/aboutus/statistics/msrjan04/BENEFIT.HTM

Karns They mastered the fine art of communicating something without saying it. It got me too at first. Read again, they will achieve the goal in 12 out of 33 ASC's, possibly in the states of Idaho, Wyoming, N and S Dakota.

Initiating a query means someone will look into the case to determine why it is still not completed. They should have already started processing that case. My best guess would be those type of cases are more complicated and require more investigation.

Manoj That is also specified in that page. If 30 days have passed and you haven't heard anything - call them. In my case, when the processing date for EAD had passed, I called them. That was the answer they gave me. After 30 days when I called again, they did initiate an enquiry. Some...

Well, in the same page they have defined the processing date, it does not mean approval. It means they are processing case received on or before that date. The approval will be issued when the processing and review is completed, which may be about 30 days. I that are correct, expect a flurry...

xyz.... Which INS office did you try the interim EAD? I tried to get interim EAD from Philadelphia, they said I cannot get interim EAD as my I140 is pending. I do not have a RFE on I140.

Guys It is quite encouraging to see a well respected publication like Business Week talks about immigration and H1B. Look here

Re:Priority date vs 140 Q dhi_img As per that rule there should be only one queue. As to wheather your cases will be processed faster - nobody knows. Please post your approval in this site when you get it. Then we will know if CIS really do what they say. All the best.

According to CIS, I140's are processed in order of priority dates, look here for the rule.

And they are supposed to adjudicate 30000 cases a day According to their Feb 02 press release, they said - 'Today, and each business day, USCIS will: process 140,000 national security background checks; receive 100,000 web hits; take 50,000 calls at four National Customer Service Centers...

Don't bet on it I don't wish to be the spoilsport here. But, according to CIS statistics, they need 2 months to process new H1B applications(current processing date is Dec 12th). So it will be April when they are done with these H1B cases, by which time new applications for FY2005 will start...

Call them You can call the INS at 800-375-5283 and request a status inquiry.

Looking at the list it appears, CIS do not work on tuesdays and wednesdays and works sparingly on Sunday.

My 2 cents Thank you very much Mr Khanna for your efforts. In addition to the three main points already suggested, I would suggest the following: 1) Start E-filing of I485 and address change(AR11) ASAP. This will reduce the work load of USCIS by a great deal. Currently we need to fill out...

It will be effective shortly As per the USCIS website, the proposal to increase fee is open for public comments for a period of 30 days, after which it willl go into effect "shortly". Anybody can send their own coments to a published e-mail address. Here is the link...
