michvin-

Yes, I saw immigrationwatch.com. Their stats further aggravated me! :mad:
It says I should've been approved in Sep 2006...

Looks like calmguy got very lucky with the Senator's office.

I'll keep you posted.
don't get too upset. There's no use. It will come.

Earlier I asked calmguy a bunch of questions about contacting Sen. Hilary Clinton. He kindly replied to me. I thought I'd share this. It's encouraging.

He says it takes about 2 months to get an initial response from the Senator. They send you a letter first then someone call you from the office. michvin - since it's been a month and a half, hope you will hear from them soon. Although they can't expedite the namecheck itself, they can ask USCIS to speed up the processing once the check is done. They read all the mails and faxes and do follow up.

So let's see what happens.

PM is enabled. I look forward to your update. When is your I485 RD? Mine is Sept 14, 2005. According to my case search, less than 30% of I485 cases (10 out of 35) on that day have been approved. Of course my sample is not representative as I was locked out of the system because I was making too many inquiries. Still, can't believe they're supposedly processing March 2006 while neglecting older cases.

My RD is Nov 30th 2005.
As to processing dates - don't pay too much attention since they mean very little and i'm really puzzled how they are calculated.
My (and yours) i485s are pending and it's past processing dates. That can be explained, namecheck, etc.
My i140 and EAD both were approved 4-6 month EARLIER than the processing date at the moment. That i can't explain. I'd really like to know why it is happening that way.
