Email from attorney, same old crap

The USCIS is indeed processing cases from 03/2002. Once they pull a case
for processing they issue a new fingerprint notice if the fingerprints on
file have expired. We need not do anything at this time as this will be
done automatically.

In answer to your other question, we have received a few approval notices
for I-485 cases received by the CSC during the month of 04/2003. It seems
there are currently 2 task forces working on I-485 cases. The first group
is working on the older cases where new fingerprints and employment letters
will be required. This if for any cases where the fingerprints are
definitely more than 1 year old. The I-485 filed on your behalf
falls in this group.

The second group has chosen a month where they know they can review and
adjudicate the case based on what documents are currently in the file
without requesting any additional documentation. The safest month for them
to choose was 04/2003 since the cases have only been pending for 13 months, which is under the 15 month mark for the fingerprints. This group is
slowly moving forward from 04/2003 to try to help the CSC clear the
backlog. We do not know how long this will last and are tracking approvals
to see exactly what the trend is.

I know it is frustrating seeing other cases be approved that were filed
long after the I-485 filed on your behalf. Please know we are
tracking the progress of the CSC and are closely monitoring the case. We
are hoping to receive the new fingerprint notice for you within the next 60
days, but cannot guarantee this will happen.

How reliable is your attorney's comments?
Did we really see any 485 approvals with RD around 4/2003 ?
 
*sigh* wouldn't it be fairer and better to have just one task force and everyone cleaning the house from top down as compared to starting of randomly all over the place, leaving a bad taste in everyone's mouth?

Good luck with the FP notice.
 
It would be cheaper to have the second taskforce which saves them the
money. No second fingerprint means money saved for USCIS.

And as for the chronological order and unfairness do you really think they care?
 
Well, in that case JIT has totally lost its meaning. I donot know why they ask people to wait for 30 days beyond JIT date to start enquiry!!?? This is hypocrisy.
 
I looked at BrazilNut case ( was03-153-XXX). This case approval is not a direct impact of Fujie Memo. This memo applies to only those, whose I140 is not approved. Brazilnut's 140 was approved in 7/2003.
In short, I can't understand the algorithm used by BCIS at all :)
 
My lawyers mail

I know it is frustrating. However, there is nothing we can do to move it
along. I am on a committee of lawyers (AILA) that meets with the
California Service Center each month and we have brought this topic up
numerous times. They tell us the reason for the uneven processing is
sometimes third agency security checks, etc. come in at different times
for different people hence the uneven processing. Even though you think
your case is the same as a coworker or friend, it is not the same due to
the security checks and other issues that are outside our control.
 
Simple Solution For FP Expired

Currently, FP is expiring within 15mths, instead of creating adding to backlog time by handling 03 cases, cant the dumbos change law to increase the expiration to 20 mths.
 
no need to change the law. all they need to do is to store the FPs so that the check can be done again automatically without calling the applicant to submit FPs again.

They have said they would do it next year or so.

If USCIS starts storing FP in database without notice that raises privacy issue. The FP we provide to USCIS/FBI that's only for background check (be disposed after checking is done), it's not meant for "storing" and USCIS cannot do it without changing the law. Even FBI stores only criminal FPs.

The JIT is like the cable guy in a porn movie... it really doesn't matter, but its still there.
