I read this news at the following website:
(http://www.lewslaw.com/US_Immigration_Updates.htm#09022003b)

Do you guys know anything further about I-140 slowdown?
Looks like, between Sep 15th and Oct 1st, I140 dates did not move at all :(




CSC Liaison Meeting Summary For August 27, 2003 (09-16-2003) [Top]

Adjudication Priorities
The priority for adjudications until September 30, 2003 is that of religious worker cases. It is anticipated that in October 2003, the adjudication of adjustment applications (I-485s) will resume at a faster pace (perhaps double). It is also expected that in October the adjudication of Employment Authorization Applications (I-765) and Advance Parole Applications (I-131) filed concurrently with I-140/I-485s will be faster, so that eventually these applications will be adjudicated within 45 days.. By the end of September 2003, it is hoped that H-1B visa petitions, except for extensions, will be processed within 90 days. H-1B visa extensions should be adjudicated within 4.5 months and eventually by the end of this calendar year - 90 days. However, the processing time for Immigrant Visa Petitions (I-140) will be delayed.
 
I saw this link in 3rd week of September.
As per the meeting, EAD & AP for concurrent filers are being processed fast.

But I485 is lagging behind. So don't know what to expect.

However, as per Oh law firm ( immigration-law.com)

Divisions Breakdown:In reading this report, people should keep in mind that the CSC realigned the Divisions as follows beginning from April 23, 2001 as part of its "CSC Plan 2001:
Division I: 102, 131, 140, 360, 526, 539, 824, 829
Division II: 129, Premium Processing
Division III: 130, 751, 765, 817, 821 TPS
Division IV: N-400, 485, 824, Legalization
Division V: 90, 212, 612, 824, NACARA
Division X: Training & Quality Assurance


Div I is responsible for I131 as well as I140. It appears to me that they are concentrating on I131 instead of I140.

I would like to be proved wrong.
 
my guess is as good as yours

Different divisions deal with different types of applications.

Officers assigned to Division I deal with the following types of applications: 102, 131, 140, 360, 526, 539, 824, 829.
They do not deal with anything else. If they spend time with approving I131, they don't have enough time to deal with I140 and other applications. If m officers are assigned to Div I, and n of them are engaged in processing I131, then only (m-n) are processing other applications to be processed by DivI. Out of (m-n), a few officers are processing I140. I don't know the values of m and n.

But from kenboo's scanning, it looks like very few officers (if at all) are engaged in processing !40.
 
Div IV??

If (m-n) doing I-140 are just a few then Division IV must be real small (for I-485) as hardly any approvals are making it out.
Maybe BCIS should quit with divisioning and just get to work; REAL WORK!
