Bad news for people waiting for PP

Immigration law posted key points from the USCIS-AILA meeting and among others it includes:

No schedule for reinstatement of I-140 PPS in the near future

I was hoping that for following reasons, reinstating PP would be happening soon.

- VSC processing I-140 takes away the burden from NSC and TSC
- Two new contracting firms have been hired to help out with the processing at the four service centers.
- and the biggest one... as estimated there are close to 130k I-140 pending. Even if 50% of them file for PP, thats an additional revenue of 65000*1000 = a whopping $65 M

and if its any significantly less than 50%, then it defies the largely assumed reason of such suspension - a big number of PP applications to process!

If they fear that there would be a sudden barge of such requests that would deny them to adjudicate within 15 days, then they should reinstate PP in a staged manner, maybe based on PD or I-140 RD. Atleast people would know what's up with PP.

Its just sad that this program to be specific is being suspended without any timeline on reinstatement.

i hear you brother. yet this is another sign of immigration mismanagment they fail to mention on media. screw them. i change mine to CP while they figure out how the hell they are going to open all those envelopes they recieved during Visa Bulletin fiasco.
 
My CP depended on I-140 approval. Since no PP, I-485 could be faster than CP. Also my wife's 8th year H1B is in a mess. Her new employer is yet to file Labor. Then there is no PP, so looks like she may not get H1B extension.

Hence EAD for her and me is the better solution at this point in time.
 
Amazing

Its amazing that despite charging a lot of money for PP they have done away with it.
One would have expected that this will be a good source of making money for the USCIS and thus they would have continued with it !
