Filing Fee Increase in Time for Launch of "Concurrent I-140/I-485 Adjudications" on 0
http://www.immigration-law.com/Canada.html
04/17/2004: Filing Fee Increase in Time for Launch of "Concurrent I-140/I-485 Adjudications" on 04/30/2004!
http://www.immigration-law.com/Canada.html
04/17/2004: Filing Fee Increase in Time for Launch of "Concurrent I-140/I-485 Adjudications" on 04/30/2004!
- We reported earlier that the OMB received the fee increase final rule from the USCIS on March 29, 2004 for its review. OMB review normally takes upto 90 days. But unbeknownst to the public, the USCIS had certain agenda of launching the petition/adjudication processing reduction program beginning from April 30, 2004 and to meet such agenda OMB completed the review on April 12, 2004 and the final rule was published by the USCIS on April 15, 2004 on an emergency review basis. Under the final rule, the fee will go up from April 30, 2004.
- As the final rule and the USCIS announcement reflected, the fee increase was to back up its processing reduction agenda that starts on April 30, 2004. To implement this agenda, the USCIS issued a memorandum to the Service Centers on March 31, 2004 giving the Service Centers a window period of 30 days to launch the "concurrent adjudication" of concurrently filed I-140/I-485 package. Accordingly, the Service Centers will start the concurrent "adjudication" of "concurrently filed I-140/I-485 cases" from April 30, 2004. The Nebraska Service Center has already disclosed that in preparation for this change, the NSC already moved the I-140 proceesing unit to I-485 adjudication unit in March 2004. It appears from the USCIS HQ memorandum that such action has also been taken by other Service Centers by now.
- Obviously, the concurrent adjudication appears to start with the new I-140/I-485 concurrent filing cases which are received on or after April 30, 2004, even though the concurrent adjudication may reach old cases in the "unknown future." It is thus evident that those who wish to benefit from the new concurrent I-140/I-485 adjudication may hold off filing of the concurrent I-140/I-485 package until after April 29, 2004 such that they pay the new filing fees and file the cases on or after April 30, 2004. The increased fees are minimal considering the enormous benefit they will receive from the "concurrent adjudication" of I-140/I-485 filing. You'd betcha, it will be worth the money!!!
- Under the concurrent adjudication rule, I-140 and I-485 are required to stay together within the Service Centers. Currently, the concurrently filed I-140 and I-485 are split into the two different teams for separate adjudications. When it comes to the "processing times," each Service Center is required to process within their I-140 processing schedule and time. For this processing times to work, it appears that the Service Centers may initiate fingerprinting and name check clearance procedure immediately upon receiving the concurrent I-140/I-485 package. Under the Memorandum, actual adjudication will commence with a given file which received fingerprint and name check clearance completed. In other words, those cases which received such clearance will be stacked on adjudication-ready shelves which will then be assigned to the adjudicators for adjudication.
- The concurrent adjudication is limited to the concurrent filing cases. Consequently those who file I-140 alone for the consular processing or I-485 application separately from the I-140 petition will not be able to enjoy the concurrent adjudication of I-140 petition and I-485 application. Once the concurrent adjudication is in place, immigrants will have to reassess their strategies to go for consular processing over I-485 application, since the consular immigrant visa processing can take longer than I-485 application because of the rule of concurrent adjudication. Those who file I-140 petition alone may have to anticipate some delays in adjudication of their I-140 petitions.
- This concurrent I-140/I-485 adjudication move appears to be separate from the pilot 75-day or 90-day adjudication program of concurrently filed I-140/I-485 and I-130/I-485 packets at the CSC and Dallas District Office beginning from May 2004. It is obvious, though, that eventually all the concurrent adjudication cases will follow the path of these pilot program down the road, albeit not immediately. HOLD YOUR BREATH!

Attn: Donald Neufeld, Director
24000 Avila Road, 2nd Floor
Laguna Niguel, CA 92677
RE: Adjudicate LONG-PENDING Cases before Pilot Program for FAIRNESS
Dear Director Don Neufeld;
We are pleased to know that finally you will attempt something
to reduce I-485 backlog at the CSC.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
At a liaison meeting between the USCIS CSC and AILA, the CSC Director
announced that CSC will attempt to adjudicate all new concurrently filed
EB-2, non- National Interest Waiver, I-140s and I-485s on a truly
concurrent basis within 90 days of filing.
He explained that the I-140 will be adjudicated within 90 days, together
with the I-485, provided fingerprints and name checks are cleared in
time. The CSC will also target previously-filed, non-NIW EB-2s, in order
to bring their processing times down to match the pilot program
processing. Additionally, the CSC will concurrently adjudicate pending
adjustment/I-140 applications in all categories, in order to bring
processing times to below one year; however, AILA was told to expect
little movement on lone-filed I-140s during this push. This pilot
project will be at only the CSC at this time.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, most of those old applicants have been waiting for over 2 years
and had to wait to get I-140 approval for another several months before filing I-485.
In order to be fair to the oldest pending I-485 cases, we request you to assign priority of adjudication in the order of I-485 filing dates.
I urge your office to consider adjudicating long-pending I-485 applications immediately
before the CSC starts adjudicating newer cases under the pilot program.

I'd like to see your participation in the campaign #11c (and #13a) at first.Originally posted by hrithikroshan11
kashmir and others,
How much do you believe the posts on this website?
http://www.immigration-law.com/Canada.html
Why would they post news about US immigration on Canada.html?
The 04/17/2004 news does not appear on other immigration web sites. All they say is about filing fees increase. But nowhere do they talk about 3 month adjudication of cases filed after April 30, 2004.
Also, the news says this 3 month adjudication of cases filed after April 30 is separate from the pilot program. Is that true? Does it apply to all service centers then or just CSC and TSC?
Can someone confirm the validity of the news article? Can we call someone who can confirm this news?

Kashmir,
Please see my response originally posted here
I don't think the campaigns should stop. Regardless of hiring a person in Washington, the only effective way to make things happen is the voice of the people.
As you can tell the number of participants in the campaign is increasing slowly but surely! In my opinion, immigrationportal.ORG cannot match the captive audience of immigrationportal.COM. We cannot afford to lose either, because doing so is playing into the hands of the INS.
We must motivate both groups of people to continue a sustained campaign against INS. We must put pressure on the director of CSC and all the various congressmen and senators.
We CANNOT stop the campaigns, regardless of outcome. Because one day we will succeed.
Kashmir, however much you deny it, the fact is absolute that you are the main driving force and the main mover and shaker, you cannot quit, if you do so INS will run rough shod over us.
I don't care one hoot for Project Kashmir as much as I care about your campaigns. The campaigns should not be stopped.

I agree with 140. Or we could have a yahoo groups or another forum created here, in immigrationportal.com, for campaigns from CSC alone or for campaigns from all SCs.
