In tracking our own I-485 cases, we received what we believe to be the first "post-freeze" approval. The Law Office of Sheela Murthy received an I-485 approval from the Vermont Service Center (VSC) last week. The case, filed November 30, 2001, was approved December 16, 2002. The notice arrived a few days after the approval. Prior to the receipt of this notice, our Office experienced a three-week break in approval notices. Given our caseload, this three-week hiatus was unusual and attributable to the "freeze." We will continue to track these matters.
