Name check completion not required for I-485 Adjudication
- Thread starter GCBy2010
- Start date
the rule clearly mentions about PD current which in turn is based on your country quota. if they do what they say(without fail) by cutting processing time, cis could put more pressure on state dept for visas(altho i cant imagine cis sitting idle with all applications completed in 6 months
). It has been the other way so far.
May be they are getting prepared for the next storm of applications in next year, from millions undocumented workers, when CIR will come back again.

They must have been hit with too many WOMs and got fed up.
Retrogression coming our way...
koku1, that's an excellent observation. Opening the NC floodgates will lead to a stop at the next gate.
Aaaahhhrgh...there's nothing like the smell of an upcoming retrogression issue.

Which next gate? NC is the last gate!
NC is not what has made them approve less than the annual quota, nor will bypassing it allow them to exceed it. Bypassing NC will simply end the scenario of people being stuck for years because of it, although it would be at the expense of others who might have been able to leapfrog others and complete the I-485 process in 3-6 months due to others being stuck.
I wouldn't go as far as calling it fair. But at least it would be predictable.
So if I get retrogressed 2 years prior to my PD, I would know with some level of certainty that I would get my GC 2 years from now.
No, because now you will suddenly have 50.000 people with "clear" namechecks. This will consume all available visa numbers. As a result, there will be years of retrogression for ALL categories.

Hi, michvin. This was published in USCIS Ombudsman 2007 Annual Report: http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/CISOMB_Annual_Report_2007.pdf
This is completely incorrect. I got a response to my Service Request yesterday, and it was stated that I am stuck in name check and I should not call them before six months.
This false news is like an insult to injury.

1. The new rule might not be effective yet.This is completely incorrect. I got a response to my Service Request yesterday, and it was stated that I am stuck in name check and I should not call them before six months.

2. When a new rule becomes effective, it can take weeks or months (or even years!) before all the USCIS employees know about it.

Name check or not, they have enough pending cases to consume all visa numbers. The new rule won't change the number of people getting approved, it will only even out the waiting times for approvals somewhat ... fewer cases of person A with a later priority date getting approved before person B whose I-485 was already pending for years before A.

Well, If they have filed before you, should they not get the GC before you?
I agree with Jack's take.
Thanks. So 106,738 NC cases pending for more than 1 year. Wonder how many has been pending for more than 180 days. Let's say 150,000.
If I understand the annual limits correctly, the worldwide limit for annual employment based green cards is 140,000. So it seems certain that there will be some retrogression, perhaps they set ALL categories unavailable for 1 year or 6 months, while India and Chila will retrogress back to the stone age.
This is obviously speculation at this point, but I bet there will be some retrogression effects of this.
