Might be good to ask about this on the murthy chat session tonight (http://www.murthy.com/chat.html).

Maybe we could ask something along the lines of:

"The USCIS has recently announced that they intend to adjucate concurrently filed I-140 / I-485 together in an effort to reduce overall processing times. However it is unclear how / whether this will affect currently pending applications which were filed before the new guidelines. Many people are concerned that the new approach will only benefit future applications and that pending applications could actually be slowed down as a result. Any comments / information which could clarify this would be much appreciated!"

This sounds like a good idea, please keep us posted with what you find.
 
Note that they say that concurrent cases will be treated as a new application stack.

That could potentially mean that old 485 cases now no longer share resources with new concurrent applications for adjudicating resources.

This could mean that, now BCIS can simply put in more resources (or retain at existing level) at the 485-only queue, and it would go towards reducing old backlogs quickly.

My question didn't get answered :(.

I actually got the impression that this issue may be too new to get a response. Someone asked about adjucation of I-140+I-485 together and the reply indicated that this only applied to recent changes at CSC. The issue which we've been discussing in this thread appears to be aimed at *all* service centers (and at all categories).

Oh well! Anyways, this will become clear in the following weeks.
