CIS Memo Instructs Faster Processing for Employment-Based Adjustment/Permanent Reside

My case is current filing and my I-140 was approved in 9/2003. I am going to take FP this Friday.

According to this memo, will I get chance to have my 485 touched/evaluated/RFEed/approved after the name check is done?

That's my understanding of this memo :confused:
 
The main implication of this is:
(1) Delayed I-140 approval
(2) Do not give a chance for Labor substitution.
Previously, Guys leave sponsoring company using AC-21 after 6 months. The sponsoring company can withdraw I-140, and use the labor approval to a new employee and apply for a new I-140 approval without going through LC headace and waiting. The basic loop hole was on an approved Labor, two differen guys used to get I-140 approved. Now they are closing the loop hole by approve I-485 at the same time of I-140.
(3) Now EB based guys have to be a slave of their sponsoring company until I-140/I-485 get approved.

The above is my opinion...
 
Strategy

What might be worth considering if this works and you are a 2003 case is to withdraw your I140 and I485 and refile under the new system. I suspect it will take another year to work through the backlog.
 
Regarding the memo, a reply from our attorney was
"The memo regarding Nebraska's backlog reduction is not clear. In my understanding, they will try to adjudicate any cases they can, which were filed in 2002, in the near future"

Also I am happy to see Sheela Murthy's website posting Apr-23 that gives same/similar interpretation what I mentioned on Apr-21 in this current thread. I hope she would give her opinion on GC waiters with I-140 already approved.

To many of the fellow GC waiters..., lets not misunderstand each other and post abusing each other..., We are all rowing the boats against the stream (non-immigrant fanatics and commercial media), let us stay united.
 
hey

this is not good news for concurret filers IMHO

1) they dont give specific time line to when they will approve it.
2) they say I140 wont be approved unless I-485 is adjucidation ready. this is in other words saying" buddy u cannot use AC-21"

I think this is bad news unless they are really fast in processing which they wont be in "near future" long term there may be advantages.

this is good use of USCIS resources but news for I-140 and I-485 waiters.
 
The question asked at the bottom of the doc is of concerns for many of us, if 140 approved, how would one's case treated? The new memo of concurrent filing apprently does not apply.
