It tells about the way USCIS are handling concurrent and non concurrent specially from Aproil 2004.

Now, after that I wonder if in April 2004 (May be after 15th) anyone got their I-140 approved (Concurrent filers only). Want to see if they have started implementing this. In my case, I-140 is not approved and I had filed Concurrently but many who filed later have been approved but I am not sure if they were concurrent.
 
What does it mean? For first instance it looked like in processing dates they will have separate timing for con-currently filed applications.

But are they going to adjudicate the I-140 andI-485 together? If that is the case then it is bad news. You will not be able to use AC-21 until your I-485 is adjudicated.
 
Yes what you said is true. And that is what memo implying. I would like to see any inputs from people who have or have not got their I140 approved in second half of April. It will be interesting to see whether they are concurrent or not. On the other hand the memo also says...around the I-140 approval I-485 will be adjudicated which could be a benefit for people with stable jobs
 
I am thinking the same thing....

EB2 RIR concurrent filers are going to get gc pretty soon.....hang in there!!!!!!
 
interesting points in memo:

1. Eligibility for Just in time self:
Already filed or those who will file after 30th April shall be eligible for this? or is it something what we have been calling all along 'Triggers' ??

2. Denial of both 140 and 485 if query is not responed in time:
This is scary!!! imagin one is in India enjoying long vacation on AP/valid H1,and there is a query on I485.Since I485 is for beneficiary and not petitioner,I think our presense in US is important for any I485 RFEs


3. Serice Center officials , in their discretion may discontinue to do a prima facie review on concurrently filed cases or modify scope of review for (I140/485/131/765)
This is something I have not understood. If they discontinue , would it save processing time and reach our file to JIT shelf quicker???

and top of it, unless they increase the GC cap, how can they give GC to each and everyone in short time? I think GC cap for EB3 category is 30,000/Year.

I think it is better to have I140 approval instead of being caught in Mouse Trap...
