Hi folks...My I485 is pending since 12/03 at TSC; have had 1st FP, nothing else so far. My employment contract currently terminates in July 2005, unless my I485 is approved by then, in which case I may be made partner in the firm. Question is, can I request TSC to expedite my case? According to the guys at immigrationwatch.com, over 40% of cases filed during time-frame of when mine was filed have already been approved. My lawyer states that expedite requests are very rarely granted, and usually only for "severe emergencies". Any thoughts? thanks!
