March cases ... Spoke to an IIO today morning ...
- Thread starter vinsah
- Start date
Are we going to experience a shorter I-485 span?
Given that March 01 cases will be shortly approved, last year\'s I-140 freeze and INS\'s move to a more efficient system (I-140 are getting cleared in less than 2 months) - in the near future do we expect I-485 to be cleared within 6 months?
Seeking your expert opinion.
Regards.

It will take INS a while to start processing cases in 6 months.
Looking at their processing time right now , it seemed on average they are taking about 10-11 months to process 485. Hope it will change soon. My case is with RD March 1st. Eagerly waiting for approval. Its been a long wait.

I think folks who filed I-485 after July 01 will really benefit
My I-140 got cleared in 6 weeks. However, my corporate attorney gave me a time frame of 8-10 months. It completely messed-up my plans.
I have been following the trend and looks like folks who filed I-485 later in Year 01 may want to plan for a relatively quick approval.

March cases
Spoke to an IIO just now. He said that they are processing cases with ND March 01,2001 and since mine is March 02, 2001 he has asked me to give a month before calling back to check the status of my application. Though I feel a month is too long, I intend to check the AVM regularly and hopefully I too would hear the magic words soon.

March cases
The IIO clearly stated that they are processing application with notice date March 01,2001 and was very specific saying that since my Notice date is March 02, 2001 it would take time depending on the number of cases filed on March 01, 2001 and all the cases filed before my case was entered into the system.
Even I felt puzzled with what he said, as from this forum, I felt they processed as per the Receipt date and in my case my receipt date is 02/22/01. But the IIO didn\'t seem very friendly to clarify the topic, Hence I too left it at that.
Hope this helps.

ND is RD in IIo view.
Most of the people know INS go by ND ( which is named RD by IIos). I discussed with senior people in this board Bhanu,hanuman and few others. They also told me that INS go by ND. So we can say that INS satarted Mar cases though the RD are in Feb. Today my friend talked to his lawyer. He told that his lawyer said that INS is processing Mar cases.

RD v.s. ND
I really hope that ISN is processing the cases by the RD. I filed my 485 at the end of April, but since it\'s also the deadline for filing 245(i), I never got a receipt until July 18, when most of the people filing after April got their receipts already. If INS is processing the cases by ND, it will be really unfair to me or someone like me... I just hope it\'s not gonna be like that even though I kinda believe that INS is using the ND. Sigh...

You obviously don\'t understand what\'s going on in April... The deadline for 245(i) was for those who has illegal status but was able to find sponser (through employer or spouse) to AOS in states. The INS received about 200,000 cases (I-485) in April cause a lot of people were trying to catch up with the deadline. Since INS was unable to process all the applications, they put them together in a basket sorted by date, and put them aside. Those who applied 485 after April got no problem and their applications were processed before the April log, and as such they got a earlier ND from INS... If you checked some tracking web sites, you would clearly find the pattern by the ND people posted... That\'s why I said it\'s unfair. If the RD and ND are all in one queue and sorted by the order of RD, then I wouldn\'t complain about it. I hope I answer your question.
