No Title
Ravip,
Yes indeed VSC processing of FP\'s have changed for applicants who filed after OCT\'00. The FP notices are system generated based on notice dates. Currently, VSC is issuing FP\'s for Jan\'01 cases. But this has no relationship with 485 approval though. That still happens by the ND of the application. Currently VSC is processing Dec\'99-Jan\'00 I485 cases. Hence you can do the math now. For the I485 approvals that appear in the board, the pattern is 3-4 weeks after FP, if there is no RFE. So, if your do your FP sometime in May, according to SuperStar, you should have your approval in June timeframe. That would justify SperStar\'s statement. For some reason I fail to believe this. But would love to see me eat my words.
On the contrary, CSC approves I485 petition after 3-4 weeks of FP. Hence they work backwards.
Well having said this, I would definitely be happy if VSC has changed its process.
Cheers.
