Drama!!! of making all current is to support the approvals based on 485 ND.

I think USCIS is trying get rid of oldest simplest(in USCIS thinking) cases first.


Can anyone please create spread-sheet of all cases with the 485 ND order that definitely will give us some idea the order in which they are processing.

I say it is solely based on 485 ND.

Is this why we're only seeing EB3 approvals? So, what you are saying is that there are no 2003-2004 EB2s that are pending and they're purging their system of EB3 cases from these years? A few observations...
1. Interestingly, Nebraska and Texas seem to be in lockstep with each other as far as AOS approvals are concerned...both are processing EB3 cases from 2003/2004.
2. I have yet to see a flood of EB2 approvals from either center.
3. Moreover, it seemed like TX was processing with all guns blazing for a couple of weeks or so, went to the backburner and then the NSC took over with a sudden surge of approvals. Now it will be interesting to see what happens over next week...
 
KSCC! There could be some Eb2 Cases in thoese years!!

KSCC! There could be some Eb2 Cases in thoese years!! They might not be in simplest form(in USCIS thinking!! No idea how they are deciding wether any case is simple or complex). They might have requested some RFE/investigating the company information... or whatever....

But I think they just started looking at the EB2 cases as we saw a case ( those_idiots. )

Definitely they are approving the cases on the basis of 485 ND............................

Not to put too fine a point on it, but has anybody considered the possibility that 'approvals based on RD' is what the INA (Immigration and Nationality Act) stipulates?
Is it possible that nobody reads and/or comprehends the Visa Bulletin?
Here is point number 4 in the visa bulletin for July 2007:
INA Section 203(e) provides that family-sponsored and employment-based preference visas be issued to eligible immigrants in the order in which a petition in behalf of each has been filed. Section 203(d) provides that spouses and children of preference immigrants are entitled to the same status, and the same order of consideration, if accompanying or following to join the principal. The visa prorating provisions of Section 202(e) apply to allocations for a foreign state or dependent area when visa demand exceeds the per-country limit. These provisions apply at present to the following oversubscribed chargeability areas: CHINA-mainland born, INDIA, MEXICO, and PHILIPPINES.

My understanding is that the 'petition' INA is referring to is filed only when you apply for AOS/CP (The point in time when an A# is assigned to you).
Let's put it this way: You become eligible only when, among other things like background checks being cleared, your priority date is current. Once that happens, applications have to be approved based on the AOS/CP RD.
My interpretation may be completely off, but I doubt it, and needless to say, I'm not a lawyer and you should consult one should you have any questions.

I don't get this point. Mine is EB3 with a ND of 04/04/04 with a priority date of July 2001, Transfered to TSC from VSC on 03/02/07. Completed Biometrics on 05/08/07. I have verified that my name check / background check, Internal BCIS check everything is completed via FOIA / IO @ Texas / InfoPass. Still I haven't seen my approval.

All I can say is, there is no logic in their processing.
 
If its RD based then whats happening to cases like mine
PD07/2002 and 485 RD 12/2002 EB3 india?
I know many more cases like mine

Its useless to speculate what they are upto

I wish the USCIS website had a section called : How things work:" or Inside USCIS..

I was telling my friend I will recommend a new Ride in Disney Land or Universal studios called IMMIGRATION RIDE.
Super roller coaster,
AS you enter you walk thru dingy rooms with fones ringing and IOs sittting their scratching their... and then spilling coffee on key board,,, someone pulls files randomly. hits the Reject button instead of approve. or soemtimes hits another Name check button.

Then you get on the ride.. WOOOOOOOOH wooossh At the end of the ride you get a GREEN CARD..
 
That might be untrue...

miine is Oct 2003 (140/485)

Transferred to TSC on March 2nd

FP 05/11/07

PD Oct 2002
 
I485 RD is Transfer date from VSC to TSC

Folks,

I initiated a service request in Feb 2007 before the transfer from VSC to TSC.
Now i received a reply from USCIS saying that my case is within normal processing dates.
How do we explain this?
The reply was dated on 11th June 2007.
Hence I had 2 LUDs on 6/11 and 6/12.
 
See my signature ..... totally chaotic & indeterministic. Even if were to apply a mathematical probability model, it will fail :)
 
My take is that its based on RD + luck...

VSC->TSC transfer was not handled competently.. hence the randomness..
 
here is the tracking for 485. You can sort it or filter it as you want. Add your details in this tracking site.

All March2 nd Xfer cases!!!!!!!!!

I think its high time for those individuals whose cases are Xfered on March 2nd. They should have got the approval by this time. I think all the people whose case was transfered should act immidiately by

1) write to OMBUDSMAN
2) Write to USCIS Director saying the they are not considereing the orignal RD in processing.
3)Seek help from Senators/Congressman
4) Every other week take INFOPASS and ask for the status
5)Ask the attorney to send a note IMMIGRATION OFFICER

If only you were in charge of setting process decisions and deadlines on TSC adjudications, I would have gotten my approval by now! :)

You've listed a good set of things to do to proceed from here, and I have tried some.

I do plan to do this next week. I'm searching for any public notice/document from USCIS where they state that the VSC->TSC transfers of I-485s will not have any adverse affect on the applicants. This is important documentation needed to put it to USCIS that their current stance of considering RD to be the transfer date and their being "within stated processing times" is completely bogus.

Click to expand...

So far I've had 2 Infopass appointments, on June 7 and June 21. The first time, the IO told me my case had been transferred from TSC to CSC (I originally filed in VSC) for adjudication. I'm not sure if the bus from TSC to CSC broke down, or my file got lost in the desert, or the IO was just yanking my chain. In any case, no LUD change so far.

The second time was classic:

For a while, the IO looked at the transfer notice I gave her, and then just pointed me to the bottom of the I-797 transfer notice and told me to contact the address on the notice (VSC's address). She said she can't help me since she has no access to the file.

I asked her to look up whatever information she could. She searched something based on my A-number, then said the file is still being transferred.

I thought maybe she was referring to CSC, so I asked where it is being transferred. Her reply: "Vermont". I almost lost it then, before telling her "it is being transferred to Texas". So she says "yes, it is still being transferred to Texas". Umm... okay...

This went on for quite a while, then another guy walked into the conversation to take her side. I tried for so long to enquire if they could provide me with any details at all. There was so much more nonsense during that exchange that I could take quite a bit longer to type it, but anyway...

Finally, the guy says "we can provide no more details - this is the information we are giving you". So much for that appointment.

I have another appointment lined up for Tuesday, and I really hope I don't get the same lady again!

I believe my attorney sent TSC a letter at the beginning of June requesting them to adjudicate the case since it is well beyond normal processing times. No response yet.

Considering my PD and RD, I have to seriously consider the possibility that something's missing from my file (or the file itself is missing) for TSC to take so long to even touch my case.
 
How do I write to the USCIS Director? Do you have the address / e-mail info?

address or fax for USCIS director

i know cd have reserarched this...any link for the lazy...

address or fax numbers please(evelyn upchurch???)...i did find some info in the portal archives...wanted somehing uptodate.

have already written to ombudsman last week, wrote to congressman(yet to receive any response) and going for an infopass tomorrow morning...latest status on friday was "to be assigned to officer shortly". Previous status was "to be assigned to officer for review" (no timeline).

So, it is difficult for me to interpret if the last status check actuallly mentions a time line!!!!!!!!!

thanks,

for example my can anyone explain why my case & several others case was not been approved whose 485 notice, receipt date & priority date is well ahead of cases which has been approved
