I’ve decided to do a case study on 120 of the I-485 cases numbers received at TSC on April 4th, 2002. I plan to follow these same 120 cases for a few years, and watch the progress. Below is a snapshot of the information I gathered about these cases from the online BCIS Case Status Service.
Keep in mind that I do not know if they are Employment or Family based cases, nor do I know the priority dates, the EB category, or the country of origin.
All the Receipt Dates are April 4th, 2002
As of Sept 12, 2002
Total cases reviewed..............120
received.................................65
insufficient funds......................3
Fingerprint notice.....................2
RFE.......................................1
received response to RFE.........1
transferred.............................5
fingerprints done.....................11
approved............................... 32
As of March 17, 2003
Total cases reviewed.............120
received................................65
insufficient funds.....................3
Fingerprint notice....................2
RFE.......................................1
received response to RFE..........2
transferred..............................7
fingerprints done.....................4
approved...............................36
Facts/Observations:
1) The last date anything was done to any of these cases was November 20th , 2002.
2) Only 7 of the 120 cases changed their status in the time between September and March.
3) 3 of the cases that had already done their fingerprints in September have not yet been approved.
4) 4 of the cases that had already done their fingerprints in September, have already been approved.
5) None of the cases with a status of “received” have changed their status since September.
6) All of the cases, whose status had changed since September, already had their fingerprints completed.
Keep in mind that I do not know if they are Employment or Family based cases, nor do I know the priority dates, the EB category, or the country of origin.
