Observation 1. It seems to me that NSC is processing very few 485 applications right now. This is just based on approval messages appearing in this forum as well as the data from immitracker.com. Or is it because there were fewer applications with RD\'s and ND\'s from Sep 2000 - Dec2000 so they have fewer cases to process?
My RD and ND is sep 2000. Based on my conversation with an IIO about a month ago it was not assigned to an officer. Although we do see some approvals for even as far as April 2001 the bulk of the cases have not been looked at yet so these are kind of random cases and are not representative of the trend.
Observation #2. It takes some effort for NSC to go ahead and clear up the backlogs. That seems to be the case for prior I-140 processing as well: few cases approved here and there but all of a sudden there was a surge in approvals and then a drop.
If these observations are correct we could wait for months and months before NSC decide to clear up the backlog.
Just trying to set reasonable expectations... as opposed to becoming desparate.
