Vipul.
There have been at least 2 cases from November approved in the last 2 weeks (see maybe under the October Approvals needed thread) but these would seem to be at the "bleeding edge" of the cases that the VSC is looking at -- they still have many cases in September and October (and even earlier) to deal with. I'm talking about "no-RFE" cases here -- as many know an early RFE in a case (e.g. during the initial review when the case is received) can lead to a quick approval once the reply to the RFE is received. I'm also talking about EB2 (non-NIW)/EB3 cases.
I'm starting to think that my "2 wave" theory might make sense -- I suggested elsewhere that there are some case officers making quick passes through all cases and making easy decisions while a 2nd wave of case officers is working on the stragglers. The first wave seems to be sweeping through October currently, the second wave is sitting over June / July / Aug / Sep cases. It seems that if you don't get handled in the first wave you might have to wait another 1-3 months for the second wave.
There may even be a 3rd "wave" (more of a ripple) that is dealing with cases which are lagging even further behind -- my heart goes out to the people in this situation as it's really hard to know what is going on with their cases...

You definitely have a point, ETA-GC. I think you may be right, since we are seeing approvals for cases filed in different months....
Congratulations on your approval.
Congratulations on your approval.
I140 Approved
Friends,
My I140 got approved
It got approved on 06/08 after RFE response is sent on 05/04...It took five weeks after RFE has been sent.
ND (for I140/765/485) : 11/18/03
Substituted Labour
I140 RFE ND: Feb 9th
RFE responded: May 4th
The RFE was regarding
a) my Company's 6 months BANK statements
b) company's ability to pay
c) My 750 B form and W2
As a response to (b), we sent my Paystubs for the past 9 months, i.e. since the date i was working for my company.
Also, my company is not a big company. It has about 30 employees.
I am a bit relieved, now. Thanx for ur support. Also, I wish others who are waiting for Approvals a "BIG GOOD LUCK"
I do not know how to update the tracker. So I appreciate if any one of u guys could update my details

I totally agree with your 2 wave theory, I think that's the case for I485 also. What I noticed is that for I485 after FP there is a "front wave" of transfers, and a second "front wave" of approvals. Unfortunately both front waves are several months in width, but fortunately the first front wave is hitting July 2003 while the second is somewhere at the end of 2002. So it might be the case that there are 2 groups of adjudicators, one that scans the applications for obvious things and transfers them and after several months (hope not years ) comes the second group that looks more carefully to issue RFE/approvals/more transfers eventually.

this is interesting since you didn't have your FP done .it could be good news.Usually transfering to local office means it is not a bad news.on an average 5 to 10 % will get transferred to local offices randomley after FP's are done and also name check both FBI and USCIS .
when is your appointment..??
they might take your FP's ..please don't forget to post your experience.

140 & 485 Approvals
Recently I have seen 3 cases where the 140 had an RFE and once the response on the RFE is reviewed, their 485's were approved. I heard someone saying that after April 30th 2004, USCIS is approving such cases once for all. Does anyone know if this is true?
Mine was concurrently filed in July 2003, RFE on 140 in Sep and responded on Oct 15th 2003. So far no news. I neither have an EAD nor Advance Parole.
Does anyone know if I can get the interim EAD. The attorney was not sure about this.
Any feedback is appreciated.

Hello all,
This is the first time I am posting on this forum. I have been viewing messages for sometime though. It is quite informative and helpful. Getting down to the business now: My I-140 and 485 have receipt date of 8/19/03. Got my EAD in Oct'03. Have not heard anything about my I-140 from USCIS/attorney. USCIS web site shows last update as 8/22/03. Mine is an EB3 category against substituted labor (1999). I see that currently Oct'03 cases are getting approved. I am wondering what is going on with my case. Is there anything that I should be doing at this stage or should I wait for some more time. My attorney rarely responds back to my messages.
Any help from you all will be greatly appreciated. Good luck to everyone.
