waitingislife,
There is nothing like AC21 paper work. Its just the law that allows one to use
the given set of portability rules pending the adjudication of their petitions.
So its just a letter to the INS/USCIS informing the change of job. Thats it.
My only guess is that, concurrent filing and adjudication of such petitions
involves some actions back forth between 140 and 485. And thats why it
takes longer than non-concurrent/semi-concurrent cases. But the delay is
not supposed to take months together or years. So our cases are not
delayed just for that only reason, it took some amount of time in CSC-TSC /
USCIS re-shuffle, EB3 adjudications, and too many concurrent filing in and
around Sept 30th deadline for retrogressed countries so on and so forth.
If you look into the total number of pending concurrent petitions, all of them
or many of them are filed around Sept 30th. I don't think any concurrent
petition got adjudicated that are filed later than Sept-30th got approved.
Correct?

- You guys come up with many interesting assumptions.
What about this idea then?
TSC tries to minimize further paperworks, processings evolving from
concurrent filiers such as portability thing.
For concurrent filiers, their GC will be judged within several months(or a
year?) so that TSC don't want to invite AC21 related paperwork by giving
out I140 approval to those filers.
By holding out I140 processing from concurrent filers, they can measure and
control visa number availability and manage the workload level which
they think unnecessary extra jobs. I am not sure how much more paperwork
or workload they can minimize from current situation.
Anyhow, personal freedom to change jobs all we sacrifice right now is not
their primary concern. But, what do our lawyers think about this situation if
they have to also sacrifice extra income from giving up AC21 paperwork?
Just my two cents totally out of my ignorance
