Anyone know/heard of when NSC will start the 75 day pilot program for concurrently filed I140 and I485 for EB2 cases? And at this time, how long will it take to get FP and name check? The I140 and I485 won't be processed untill name is clear. Should we wait for the 75 days pilot program after labor certification?

Thanks!

Where is the memo ?

I didn't see any 75 days memo from NSC, up to my knowledge NSC started adjucating I140/I485 together starting Apr 31,2004 and do not have any pilot program like CSC.

The worst part is, we didn't see any approval yet eventhough some of Aug/Sep filers completed FP.

Hi Seabird -

Don't mean to discourage you but I saw it on http://www.masudafunai.com that NSC will not be participating in the EB2 Pilot Program. I've posted an excerpt from masudafunai.com for your reference.

NEBRASKA SERVICE CENTER ANNOUNCES CHANGES IN ITS ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS PROCESSING

The USCIS’ Nebraska Service Center recently announced that it moved the Form I-140 adjudications from its business product line to its residence product line in order to facilitate the concurrent adjudication of Forms I-140 and I-485. Beginning on April 30, 2004, the Center will have two tracks for the processing of Form I-485 adjustment of status cases. One track will be for concurrently filed applications where the other track will be for stand alone applications. Although it is making this change, the Center indicated that it is not participating in the pilot program being conducted through the California Service Center where concurrently filed Forms I-140 and I-485 will be adjudicated within 75 days. Additionally, it did indicate that the Center believes that the processing times for applications will slow down due to the integration of the Form I-140 adjudications.

The Center stated that it is currently preparing all adjustment of status cases for adjudication which were filed prior to December 2002. When the cases are deemed by a contractor to be adjudication ready in that the fingerprints and the FBI name checks have been completed, the contractor forwards the files to an adjudicator as quickly as possible. The Center indicated that there are approximately 2,200 cases filed prior to January 2002 which have not yet been cleared for adjudication. Additionally, the Center indicated that there are over 24,500 cases filed between February and December 2002 that are still waiting for clearances. The Center stated that a contractor reviews cases on a weekly basis to determine whether they are adjudication-ready and thus can be forwarded to an adjudicator for review.
