Looks like your RD/ND pretty close to my dates. But your case is transferred to TSC and mine is not. Thats interesting, isn't it?

I don't think there will be any difference in calling them or emailing them. Either way we get the same response. Its very rare that the email goes directly into the hands of the adjudicator who is looking in to our case. Only then we will get "real answer" to our querry. I have come across people in this forum emailing cust. service, getting same usual reply. I will try and see what I get.

By the way, when you responded to RFE, why would you need paystubs and all that? when GC is for future employment. Company financial stuff are not enough to reply to your RFE ?

Considering the announcement that was made last week, they might be concentrating on entering the applications into the system... who knows whats happening...
 
We have this concurrent 140 approval, for this week.

His case was not transfered at all, so as far as TSC is concerned they have not touched any concurrent filled cases at all.In the mean time i spoke to my law firm about possible inquiry on my case. They said that they can not do that as it is well with in the processing time????I told them that TSC is approving only non-concurrent cases and some of them were filed much after my ND:10/07/05, they shot back how did i know?By this time i realized that i wasted my call.Now i have to sit back tight and expeting a favour from TSC that looks like not happening at all.
 
Do not try those stupid lawyers. They are not as smart as people here. We can do some of our own analysis here. You can see from a few approved concurrently filed cases (no matter which center), the I-140/485 were LUD or approved at the same time. I guess they are adjudicated by one officer at the same time. There were a pilot program before which adjudicate I-140/485 at the same time. Maybe they go back to that way.

Is this a good? Not necessary. Some people may get green card earlier. However, if your 485 is stucked in security check, they won't touch your 140. More ridiculous, they may wait you priority date become current then process your 140 and 485 together. You can visit some threads in this forum (140 in NSC, CSC or TSC) and find a lot of guys 140 took more than two years to approve.

If you pay attention to recent USCIS update, they talk a lot of security check and more organization of alien files. I guess they are making some changes in handling the concurrently filed 140 and 485.

-- This is really scary. That means... we have to wait for 1 to 2 years to get the 140 approval? Its very difficult to hold our breath for that long. Correct!

so you mean right now none of the concurrent filers have PD as current? i know mine isnt...
 
of course - many can file EB-1/EB-2 worldwide and PD is current.

Sherlock Holmes - The case of the missing files of the CSC concurrent filers".

Extract from the book "Sherlock Holmes - The case of the missing files of the CSC concurrent filers".

The mystery at hand had preoccupied Sherlock's mind and he was pacing up and down the hallway smoking his pipe furiously.

There, Watson, this infernal case had haunted me for days now.
TSC is approving cases from even April 2006 but ignoring the September 2005 filers. Hmmmm.....what the heck is going on with these Yankees.

Suddenly his eyes light up and he said exclaimed "That's it. Goodness knows why it did't occour to me earlier".

USCIS actually stands for "United States Commission for Institutionalized Slavery"...Their job is to keep people in limbo tied hand, foot and mouth for as long as possible so that their employers can milk them for eternity. Their job is to come up with complex schemes, procedures, rules to deny the GC application at some point or the other

To top it all Watson they have this incredibly genius scheme called 'FBI Namecheck" where they punish people who have certain names.
USCIS should infact publish a Baby Names book called "USCIS-FBI Approved Baby Names". Guaranteed 100% to pass the FBI Name Check or your money back minus the cost of shipping.

To keep the GC applicants interested in the whole process during the long wait a few carrots ( GCs) are dangled in front of the donkeys from time to time. This also makes the whole process look authentic and genuine.

Watson, I have cracked yet one more mystery right here....

My PD is current (EB2-May 2001), and I think there are a lot of people who have concurrently filed cases with PD current.

Here's my theory, assuming that they want to adjudicate on both 140 & 485 together (possible), then really the dates haven't passed yet. The current processing for 485 is at Oct 10, 2005. So, until the next visa bulletein moves those dates to beyond Nov 7, 2005 (my RD is Oct 7), there isn't anything for us to do other than wait...
 
Same situation here ...Conc filed on last week of Sep 2005.Prio date is 2002 July.I140 /485 received date Oct 18th.

Transferred to TSC on Mar 22,LUD on 3/27 and nothing after that.

It is just that they are not touching old concurrently filed cases for reason no one knows.
 
My lawyers theory

My Laywers theory is that TSC is one of Bi-specialization centers now and they are kind of perfecting their skills on I-140 cases now. She expects I-140 approvals to slow down in June and I-485 case approvals to speed up concurrent or not.

ZB
 
Let me explain more of my analysis (guess)

(1) I guess the delay in concurrent 140/485 may related to recent implementation of alien file automation process.
(2) A lot of evidences show USCIS are adjudicating concurrently filed 140/485 together (by one officer)
(3) TSC just to start procee 485 cases of Oct 2005. So they are not late if 140/485 will be adjudicated concurrently
(4) For those with PD current, you may get green card very soon. However, it assume you pass all security check (finger print, name check). As many know, name check process is notorious long if you are unlucky get a hit.
(5) If you do not have PD current or have security check pending, it is hard to say if USCIS will approve your 140 first or not. Historically, people got messages when they inquiring why their 140 was delayed: (1) security check pending (2) PD not current. Of course those guys got confused becasue they thought these two requirements related to 485 only. But it is true. Check the thread of "I-140 filed on May 2004" under NSC forum. There are similar cases in CSC and TSC.
(5) However, for above cases after the inquiry by lawyer or congress representative, USCIS pick up their cases soon. It means it is not the absolute rule for USCIS to hold their 140 until security clean or PD current. They just can not process it concurrently with 485 at the beginning and then forgot it at one corner.
(6) Will this situation happen again to us? Do not know. Again, lucky people will benefit. If for any reason your 485 is questionable, your 140 'could' be delayed.
