Hi Saburi, I hope your case approval time frame wasn't just a fluke.
Could you please explain the steps you've taken afterwards to file for your I140/485 ? I don't know if you've been hit by the retrogression and if so, how were you impacted ? Thanks

 

[zgubi]

Saburi,

my PD was November 27th, 2001. I have not heard anything from my lawyer. Hopefully they opened the "November - December box". Although I know there are quite a few of those... In any case, if there are any changes, or I get the letter, will let everyone know.

Congratulations saburi! Best of luck in the next phases of the GC.

Thank you for your prayers. If something good has come from this long wait it is the many friends I have made - even though I have not met many of you in person.

Hang in there everyone - although I have stopped trying to predict, I am still hopeful, and I hope that in the next few weeks we will start seeing approval after approval from the NY crowd.

JustWatching, apropos Saburi's approval, do you think they will really process 2001 shortly upon receipt of 45-day letter reply? And does this mean FIFO will be in place again?

 

[quickmouse]

Flip back

NY regional DOL is closing down. We have a bunch of guys whose case stuck there for almost one year without assinging to any officer. Those cases will be forwarded to Phil BEC.

I have a question here -- how long did Phil BEC take to enter cases into their system? And what month are they processing now? Do they process cases based on Priority Date or on the date into BEC system? Thanks a lot

I think we are still months away from true FIFO, if ever.

As they say, you need two points to draw a line. I would wait for a few more approvals (Rajel's maybe) before making any judgements.

quickmouse,

Phil BPC is still doing data entry.
Order of data entry? Random, you could be first you could be last.
Philly BPC has been very erratic. Hard to say when your case would get processed.

Do you know how many cases are left at NY DOL? I thought at the beginning of the year there were only 3,000-4,000 cases?

 

[quickmouse]

Last time I called -- about one month ago, they were processing Oct 2004 cases. I guess they were around mid of Oct. Then they said they won't process any unassigned cases. So I assume all Nov and after cases are not processed (some EB2 cases are processed). But I have no exact number how many could be transfered. 500 might be a rational guess.

Quick Response PHILY BEC

It looks like Phily BEC is responding preety quickly to proof requests for extensions beyond 6th year.

Yesterday, I had sent an email at at noon and got proof reply with in 2 hours.

I pray and hope, they are processing the GC apps with the same speed.

Thanks!!
My case was approved by the PBEC. However no 45 days letter was received for my case. I had received 2 queries, one from the NY state DOL and other from PBEC requesting my updated job profile.
My filing date was October 3rd 2001.

Thanks
