Well, I-485 will still be "adjudication ready". It will just not be adjudicated because of the retrogression. Isn't that right?

SADASHIVPETHI/bigbad,
Read this from murthy site
"130s with a priority date not yet available are no longer considered part of the backlog due to USCIS policy to not process such cases until the priority dates are current. The USCIS has not indicated whether it will initiate the same policy with I-140s, should the priority dates retrogress in January 2005 as anticipated."

Can't say anything about 140's for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Don't confuse this with I-140 processing

Guys,
I am not sure if anyone mentioned this in this thread or not.

This so called "retrogression" will affect only I-485 processing; your I-140 processing will not be interrupted.

I confirmed this with my lawyer.

I guess that's a good news because if you are looking to switch employers, atleast you could use AC-21.

bmt

also note that in murthys column she says that they did stop processing 131s for family based cases as there were no visa numbers available for 485. now the thing is if they follow the same pattern which they most probably will, they will hang on to the 140s also till the visa numbers become current.
 
If priority dates do retrogress in Jan ,how much time would it take them to be current again?The next financial year Oct 2005 when new visa number quoata will be released?????
 
I guess for people have PD around the 2003 like me will wait 2 years to wait PD became current if they retrogress PD to the begging of 2002.
