IMHO, NSC is doing okay

[lc2003]

In my opinion, NSC is doing okay in terms of processing I485 and we do see more number of Oct-Nov 2002 approvals, which means that NSC started processing FY 2003 cases and hopefully NSC will start doing concurrent processing soon for applicants whoever filed after July 2003.

IMHO we will see more number of concurrent approvals before Oct 2004, to meet "15 months" goal to process GC during FY2005.

lc2003,
I like your optimism. WTG. Anyway, why do you think NSC will start processing concurrent cases for July 2003 and after soon? Why July 2003? I am an Aug 2003 filer, so I sure hope your "prediction" is correct.

I don't think so because, I have seen trend, even if they move ahead, they can go to backdate also, it happend frequently before 5/6 month back.

Why did you pick July 03?
I haven't seen any appovals for Jan - Jun 03!!!

It is hard at least for me to believe NSC is doing fine I have ND Oct 2002.

Jambalakadi,

Show where did they post I485 approvals for 1/2003, in the very short time of 7/1-7/16? I am not sure what did you base your statement on.

Not intended to spoil your good opinions on NSC, but this was my experinece!.
I counted the days from ND to AD and it was a whopping 997 days!
No job changes, no location changes, not even an address change.

Why July 2003 ?

I agree, there are few cases where NSC is processing year 2001 cases. But my comments are based on the current approval trend based on rupnet.com, immigrationwatch.com, and also immigrationportal.com.

Why July 2003 ? : Last year when I filed by I140/I485 (Sep 2003), and thought of getting my I140 approval before Jan 2004. But due to the concurrent processing, NSC didn't process my I140 and still waiting. If I remember correctly, NSC was approving just I140 for all applicants till July2003 and few Aug,Sep 2003. Also there are few Jan/Feb/Mar 2004 cases.

I do see there are more number I485 approvals for applicants filed between Sep 2002 and Oct 2002, and looks like NSC is reaching 20 months goal of FY2004. So in order to reach 15 months goal during FY2005, we should see many approvals during Oct 2004, especially for applicants filed during July 2003.

When NSC implemented concurrent processing during Apr 2004, most of us thought NSC may delay processing I1485 cases older than Apr 2004 cases and approve concurrently filed cases first. But it didn't happen, which is good.

I do understand there are few cases still not approved even after 2-3 years, hope you get your approval soon and good luck to you.
