March 29 Conference Call--Questions Answered in the thread

[Rajiv S. Khanna]

I am EB2-India , My priority date is Aug 2007 and Filed I-485 in the Nov 1st week. A lot of people who have priority dates of late 2008 and filed in Jan 2008 are also getting approvals.

Is there anyway I can expedite this process so that atleast USCIS opens my file ? What are my options here ?

How USCIS usually pick's up the file for processing ? seems to me neither USCIS notice date nor Priority date ?

Thanks In Advance,

Cases are NOT processed strictly on first come basis. Once PD is current, the I-485 filing date (roughly) decides which case gets picked up first. The expedite criteria are fairly strict.
