CC issues in NSC
Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum. While I'm aware of the existence of many immigration forums, I'm positively surprised to find out that we actually have a very detail discussion dedicated to Cross Chargeability alone - here. So, I guess I'm little late to the party, and will now be doing some catch up.
Here's my story.... A couple of weeks ago, I woke up to the fact that the latest NSC processing date is > 30 days outside of my ND, and decided to file a service request. I received a reply a few days later stating that there are no visas available for my employment-based classification. This is contrary to what I was told by my lawyer, who said once NSC accepted my application (I assume they did, as I've done FP/Bio), the case will be automatically considered for CC.
Anyhow, I'm curious to find out if any of you are having similar problems using CC, or if you have any suggestions of how I can *inform* and *convince* NSC about CC provision. I know the logical thing to do here is to ask my lawyer to write them (which I will), and perhaps to write them myself as well. But I'd like to get some opinions from our fellow forum members, which appear to be very enthusiastic (gee, 1800 messages?) and a wise bunch as well. Thanks in advance!

Alex,
Welcome to the forum! Yeah it's a great place to learn and teach each other about the various issues involved in this whole CC thing.
Sorry I don't have a direct answer for you (but perhaps someone else will), but I just wanted to say I too was under the impression that once a CC case clears the door, we don't have to worry about it not being considered current anymore. But it looks like we do *sigh*
Good luck and please keep us posted on your journey to convince NSC about CC. I suspect I have to do the same in 6 months or so when they get close to processing cases with RD's of 03/07.
BTW, have you verified that your name check is clear?

Thanks Prez.
I tried to ask about name check, but they were not telling, not even the date it was initiated.
Yep, I had the same experience on the phone. If you want to find out the status of your namecheck, make an InfoPass appointment.

That is disconcerting. I had read that William_tt had sent letters to TSC to convince them that CC is a valid proposition and his application should be considered under CC. I don't think any one else in this forum get this kind of a letter from NSC.Hey guys,

When you lawyer sent the filing paperwork, did he highlight "Cross-Chargeability" ?

Wow!!
Did you guys read about the massive movement in PDs for EB2/EB3?! If not, read it here.
http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_3236.html
I'm so happy for the thousands of frustrated people who will now be able to file!
In my case, this makes my case current on my own status instead of relying on CC. Anyone else ?
I wonder what effect this will have on my case. We will see! Although now the service centers will get clogged with thousands of new 485 applications. Thankfully our RDs will keep us slightly ahead of them.

Whoa, that is huge and a welcome change for thousands. However, without the support and resources to process all these, a date change will not benefit anyone

What will happen to my case?
My PD is 09/2002. I have requested cross-chargeability on May 02nd. But as per the latest VB, India PD also became current. Now what will happen to my case? Will they use CC or India visa number to approve my case? Thanks to God for moving all the PDs.

Please Help!
Guys,
My case is exactly like"skp19722003"'s case. My PD is 09/2002 (EB3, India) and requested CC on May 2nd.
Since my PD would be current as of June 1st, what would happen to my case?
I would definitely like to use CC because there are greater chances that cutoff dates might move back some time in future.
Let’s say in worst case if they consider my case as regular, would it be possible to re-claim the CC if needed?

Did you receive the receipts?

Which receipt you're talking about?
What receipt? Did you receive one? It's been 3.5 years since I filed my 140/485. I got my 140 approved after 2 years. I requested CC thro' my lawyer and haven't received anything. Why should they send receipt? Thanks.

We should request CC only if your PD is severely retrogressed. Thats the rule. I don't know now what's going to happen in my case?

Sorry skp19722003 ,
I thought you filed on 2nd may. I have filed my 485 on 2nd May using CC.
But i think i just got the answer for one of my question.
So, it is possible to claim CC at later stage of your GC, right?
Thanks,

Relax, you guys are panicking upon hearing good news!!
Here's what everyone who filed with CC are worried about: you clear your name check and everything else, but some imbecile officer at the USCIS does not realize it is a CC case and just not give you your GC till the primary's PD becomes current. (Read Alex's post above).
What today's news means for you is that you don't have to worry if your case lands with the imbecile officer cos you are also current as of now. And of course, if the dates retrogress back to a date before your PDs again in a couple of months, you always have CC to fall back on. You are in the BEST situation!

I totally agree with Prez. The folks whose PD has now become current are in a good situation. Chances are, if you encounter a situation like Alex, you can rectify it by reminding the service center of the CC. Things like that get overlooked sometimes. Several folks have been approved using CC without an issue, but its the luck of the draw as far as adjudicating officer is concerned. But this can be fixed with a letter from you or your attorneys.
CC still remains the better prospect in my opinion, since ROW has less odds of regressing.

I agree, I am very happy for folks who had been in limbo that can now file for AOS. Just realize that this may impact folks already filed and in queue due to the massive influx of AOS applications, not just from the USCIS perspective, but more importantly, from the FBI perspective. The FBI does not care about priority dates, they just process the requests that come in from CIS. Their human resources will not increase I don't think, so if anything they'd be barraged with a glut of new name check requests.
