The lady that handles 485 said that all cases that are beyond the normal processing times (JIT date) should hear something i.e. action should be taken in 60 days time. Don't know how much of this is true though. According to her this is something new that the've just found out.

Anybody hear anything similar?
 
Good news..

OK, if this is true great news. 2 more months i.e. End September. Lets hope for the best.

I think it is true.
With the current improved I-485 processing rate, the CSC would clear almost all old cases filed in 2001 and early 2002 in a couple of months.

However, it is the fact that the government's illegal immigration policy in 2003 has destressed a lot of innocent applicants, and such a policy must be unconstitutional.
It is a good timing to participate in Project Ocean campaigns #17 and #15.

Back in the 3rd week of June (around June24) this year my lawyer got this response from CIS :
All I-485 cases that are previously considered beyond JIT processing are being re-assessed. The cases that are fingerprint ready will be reviewed. The I-485 cases with expired fingerprints will be re-scheduled. Please allow 60 days for action on these cases. If you have not received any notice regarding an I-485 that is past the CSC processing date, please contact the CSC via email.

Not sure whether it is the same message from Senator Feinstein, but it is past 36 days from then and I am yet to receive FP2 notice.

I only half believe that what sfbay_area_guy was told is actually true. This would mean that they would need to stop processing all applications other than 2001 and early 2002. I can't persuade myself to believe it.
Also, sfbay_area_guy is stuck in security check land, and they can't guarantee that all security checks will clear before 60 days are over.
As for east2west's response - that's a standard CIS excuse for out-of-order processing - telling us to shut up and pull our ears.

My dear friend ruxrux..... I'm just the messenger telling you what senator feinstein's office is telling me...

as for my security check an IIO told me that it was complete in june 2003... heaven knows why they need to keep re doing this...

BTW when do 2nd finger prints expire? i did them in oct. 2003
 
This seems to be the standard email reply:

I don't interpret this as old cases will be approlved in 60 days. It could be true for those already had 2nd FP done, but not likely for us with no 2nd FP. In one of my inquiry reply, I was told it takes 30 days-60 days just to schedule the 2nd FP...

Of course this does shut my attorney up, they would not do the next inquiry untill another 60days :mad:

Its so frustrating that these attorneys from this big firms talk big shit and when it comes to making some concrete inquiry, they take all sorts of crap for answers... i wish corporate america would hire better attorneys.
 
Don't worry. This will pass, like everything else. A year from now, none of us will be talking here, we'll all be having our GCs and happily working on restorin peace in our lives.
 
...A year from now, none of us will be talking here, ....

Only if I can hold on that long, don't think I can stand another year stuck here watching later fillers happily finishing their journey, waving good-bye...

One of my friend started green card processing several month behind me, with a smaller company, small law firm. Every step (LC, 140, 485) they acted much quicker than this "big firms"; 1 day or 2 's task vs. 1 month or 2; she got her GC 2 years ago, I am still hanging here, waiting for 2nd FP...

Theoretically, in January 2005. You _don't_ think yours will expire again, do you?
Also there was some talk about CIS storing FPs now in their systems so that they don't have to schedule another FP session. However, that was implemented after Oct 03
 
got the same crap like east2west

Got the same BS from BCIS. No 2nd FP yet. Lawyer was basically told to shut up.
I basically had become hopeless in this fuxxxxx journey for GC..

Of course I expect them to expire... My H1b expires in November 2005. I'm sure my GC will take beyond that... These guys in laguna need all the time....
