I've been watching the INS processing times for I-485 since January. It has been on 11/16/03 ever since. You veterans here, how long have you been seeing the same date? I fear I will see this date for another year or so. God Forbid.
Besides my birthday, this started to be the date
I remeber best. :-)
In a logical manner, if it takes them at least four months to process a day, how many months do you think it will be enough for them to process January 2003?!?
Sometimes, I open the PDF file with the processing times and I hope I will have a big surprise this time. And they will have moved to...... oops 11/16/03. Ehee, day dreaming.

Good luck to us all!
 
Last year I remember it used to be 10/21/01, then it moved backwards to 10/1/01 at one point!!!

Makes me nostaligic to see the old JIT dates :rolleyes: I remember the times around 10/11/2002, when we were so happy that JIT was actually moving a month at a time. With people complaining that it is not moving fast enough. :) Looking at the past 5 months, That 1 month motion was like gold!
 
It seems that they are really stuck in that november date. Something must be going on. Maybe after they have trained new people they will start moving again. "Normally", by this time of the year they should have proccessed May 2002.

Thank you BitterMan for ino.
I hope you won't be so bitter soon.

P.S.

Where are these backlogs coming from? (obviously from the back :-)
But since the economy is going to hell, they don't process as many H1Bs as before, companies are not processing GC so often as they used to be. Then why all these backlogs? Or am I mistaken?
 
Although the volume of new Employment-based Green Card applications is probably shrinking by the year (don't have the numbers at hand, so I won't comment on it), there are still a lot of people out there who want to get a Green Card this way. This is one of the most effective ways, by the way, provided that you have the right education and work experience; not withstanding a marriage to a US Citizen, of course.

And consider this - if they have stopped adjudications, even 1 new application will contribute to the backlog. Without exaggeration, though, their adjudication speed is slower than the inflow of new applications. That's all it takes to build up a huge, reliable backlog.
 
backlog is good/bad

Backlog is good if you remember what someone did last time, I don't wish backlog be gone that fast. Who knows why 11/16/01 is not moving on, maybe they don't have anything after that to process, because the backlog had been cleared.

Or backlog is bad, no one will argue about that. Wondering why they have larger and larger backlogs? They created it themselves, you don't really want them to lose job, do you? :)
The fact is, the longer it takes to process GC application, the larger backlog gets, because everyong on that backlog has to keep filing applications to keep status, the is a self-enhancing process, which ensures that they will never lose job because of nothing to process, and also to ensure that the applicants be burnt in hell.
