04/19/2003: TSC I-485 Fingerprint Schedules
- TSC has advised the AILA that as of February 2003, it had completed scheduling of all the fingerprinting appointments for those cases with a receipt date of 2001 or earlier. However, no information is available about how long it will take to adjudicate the I-485 cases from the date of FBI fingerprint clearance. As people know, I-485 cases processing time is still lingering on with November 2000 cases at TSC. It is hoped that the long-waiters receive resolution of their cases in the next few months.
- People have been complaining about some later cases being adjudicated. However, when it comes to adjudication of I-485 cases, people should understand that there are so many factors that affect the processing time of individual cases that people should not try to compare an orange with an apple. For instance, some cases are processed on an expedite basis, while some cases require an extensive investigation or security checks. Some cases have been issued RFE which delays the processing substantially. The cases are not necessarily moving like goods on the mechanical production belt in the manufacturing plant.The Service Centers' processing times report just reflects a general picture of handling of a given type of cases at certain point of time. This message is not intended to defend the agencies, but sometimes people misunderstand the process and lose patience in his/her individual case.
