BIG NEWS-Everything current again till Aug 17th

Here comes 400K applications...expect some delays in EADs and APs....i don't know if there will beany other implications...
but with the USCIS is processing applications (random order), expect some delays in 485 approvals too...
 
Trust me 800K applications...Now 30 Years to approve for all these GC applications...if there is no change in law...it is for sure.

And all applications will beprocessed in a random order..who knows..2002 pending apps might be approved in 2019 and 2007 apps might be approved in 2007...
 
one more madness of USCIS..

They cant process applications which are from so many yrs.. and they want to take more..

Horrible people out there..
 
It sucks big time for all of us with pending cases. Just imagine what's going to do to the backlog, not only to USCIS own but also to the infamous namecheck backlog at the FBI.
 
it is rumor..

it is rumor.. Check immigration-law.com website.. They first posted that they will accept new I485 till Aug 17th then they posted everything "U".

I am happy .. atleast USCIS will not say they have huge backlog.. it is good for those people who are waiting from name check..

it is good they process old files first then allow new people...
 
The aug bulletin has highlight

D. JULY EMPLOYMENT-BASED VISA AVAILABILITY

After consulting with Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Visa Office advises readers that Visa Bulletin #107 (dated June 12) should be relied upon as the current July Visa Bulletin for purposes of determining Employment visa number availability, and that Visa Bulletin #108 (dated July 2) is hereby withdrawn.
 
It clearly states as per point D. July visa bulletin is current. So atleast till July 31st everyone can apply if not until Aug 17. So floodgates are opened again.

USCIS Announces Revised Processing Procedures for
Adjustment of Status Applications
WASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that,
beginning immediately, it will accept employment-based applications to adjust status (Form I-
485) filed by aliens whose priority dates are current under the July Visa Bulletin, No. 107.
USCIS will accept applications filed not later than August 17, 2007.
On July 2, 2007, USCIS announced that it would not accept any additional employment-based
applications to adjust status. USCIS made that announcement after receiving an update from the
Department of State that it would not authorize any additional employment-based visa numbers
for this fiscal year. After consulting with USCIS, the Department of State has advised that
Bulletin #107 (dated June 12) should be relied upon as the current July Visa Bulletin for
purposes of determining employment visa number availability, and that Visa Bulletin #108
(dated July 2) has been withdrawn.
“The public reaction to the July 2 announcement made it clear that the federal government’s
management of this process needs further review,” said Emilio Gonzalez, USCIS Director. “I
am committed to working with Congress and the State Department to implement a more efficient
system in line with public expectations.”
USCIS’s announcement today allows anyone who was eligible to apply under Visa Bulletin No.
107 a full month’s time to do so. Applications already properly filed with USCIS will also be
accepted. The current fee schedule will apply to all applications filed under Visa Bulletin No. 107
through August 17, 2007. (The new fee schedule that becomes effective on July 30, 2007, will
apply to all other applications filed on or after July 30, 2007).

It's not official yet ... I'll only believe it when I see it.
