#11, sjk1, Finally .....APPROVED WAC 02 041 XXXXX

Hello All

Finally its my time to give the good news.

Saw the word on the web site. The case was approved on April 15th for both me and wife.

Its been a long wait after the 485 application. Mine is a AC21 case. Changed job after 2 years. My lawyer also did a splendid job by sending a good AC21 letter along with the new companies Tax returns even if the INS did not ask for it.

My best wishes to all for a speedy approval to those who are in queue.

Best Regards

sjk1

#12, phoenixsaint, GC finally approved

Dear forum members,

I'd like to share the good news with you:

I checked my online case status early this morning and lo and
behold the approval message showed!

Receipt Number: wac02064xxxxx

Application Type: I485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status

Current Status:

This case has been approved. On April 16, 2004, an approval notice was mailed. If 14 days have passed and you have not received this notice, you may wish to verify or update your address. To update your address, please call the National Customer Service Center at (800) 375-5283.


I have mixed emotions, on the one hand I am overjoyed, but I feel numb due to such a long and tortuous wait...

Anyways, I posted as early as possible to share the news.

I hope all of you WAC02'ers get yours as well....

Phoenix Saint.

I am guilty of not participating in all the initiatives undertaken and can only offer a lame excuse of being preoccupied by work and other obligations.

A very sincere, heartfelt Thank You to PeeCee, SillyMan, Kashmir, Rajeev Khanna and several others on this forum for all the advice provided and initiatives undertaken by them...

#18, lusiks, This is a significant change

This is a significant change
Hi there,

I believe that this new regulation means the following:

- all concurrently filed I-140/I-485 applications will be pulled out
- they will be put on a separate shelf
- will be prioritized by I-140 AD (and not I-485 AD)
- all eligible applications that are I-485 ready (this means that I-140 is approved, fingerprint cleared, RFEs responded etc) WILL be adjudicated.

This covers all categories (eb1, eb2, NIW, non-NIW etc) and has nothing to do with the CSC-specific pilot for non-NIW cases.

This does not cover non-concurrently filed applications.

As a proof to this interpretation, it looks like my application has been approved.

My Stats: I-140 filed in November 2002, approved in May 2003.
I-485 filed in April 2003. I sent in a fax inquiry to CSC about two weeks ago. Online message changed to "approved" on 4/16/04. Btw, I did not have any RFEs.
I am not sure if this is a coincidence, but I suspect that my fax inquiry triggered them to pull out my case onto this new processing shelf.

I do believe this regulation makes a lot of sense, and it does not discriminate late filers (WAC03 series) vs early filers (WAC02 series), because the goal is to pull ALL applications with approved I-140s. This will set aside all I-485 applications with pending I-140 petitions – but they have to wait for their I-140 to get approved anyways, right? So, nobody loses in this situation.

I was thinking about this for a while actually and was asking myself why isn’t INS separating I-485s with approved I-140 petitions from pending ones? It is common sense. Now they finally did it. And I think it will be a significant improvement for both I-140 and I-485 petitions.

The reason they started from concurrent files is probably because concurrent filing is one of the main reasons for these backlogs in the first place. Personally, I think that they should have established this rule when they actually introduced concurrent filing. The whole point of concurrent filing was: if you are filing an I-140, and the visa number is current (as it is for all work-related petitions), then for saving some time on processing of your next petition – I-485 – you are allowed to submit them concurrently. I believe that many people started abusing concurrent filing regulation by submitting I-485 applications and I-140s on 3-4 different categories. As a result current processing dates for both I-140s and I-485s are pushed back. In the meantime they would have all benefits of an “adjustment applicant” for a long period of time, up until their I-140 gets assigned to an officer (god knows when). At the same time people who have had an I-140 approved for more than a year would have to wait another 2 years for their I-485 to be processed. Plus this triggers unnecessary repetition of fingerprinting, RFEs etc etc.
I know that all of this has been discussed several times, and sorry for boring some of you. I just think that this is a significant step and will change many things in coming months.

Thanks,
Lusine
