No, because the current goal has been shifted to the fund collection at ImmigrationPortal.ORG.
Please read my message at:
http://immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=121560&perpage=15&pagenumber=3#post760652

Several forum members had complained againt the fax/e-mail campaigns.
They told that they had no time to send faxes or that they were scared.
For donation to ImmigrationPortal.ORG, they don't need to spend much time nor to worry about its effect.
I have to see more 4 contritutions before I release the weekend report.

However, you have contributed both, so I may send the report by e-mail.
Send me e-mail at kashmir@covad.net .
If you let me know your WAC#, the detail report of your WAC# will be added.

Here is my guess about I-485 process at the CSC.

1) The CSC has abondoned the stupid policy that the CSC has to issue RFE to an applicants whose case is pending more than a year.

2) The CSC has increased I-485 adjudication resource in March slightly (not significantly).

3) Due to 1) and 2), the CSC becomes able to adjudicate 100+ I-485 cases per day.
With this processing speed, the backlog would not be growing, but it could not be significantly reduced.

4) The CSC is adjudicating I-485 cases which fingerprint will be expiring soon, such as ones filed in late April 2002 or after late November 2002.
The CSC is using 40% of I-485 resource for this.

5) If 100% of resource would be assigned to adjudication of old cases filed in January 2002 or before, the I-485 processing date could be moved by one month per month.

6) This week, the CSC started adjudicating I-485 cases filed in late February 2002 (not in early February 2002).
It might be an excuse for the processing dates report being released by AILA in early May.

Kashmir,

If this is true and they put up a JIT something Flike eb 20th 2002 for 485, then all of us early Feb filers and before will start an enquiry including a Senator/Congressman intervention. So they will be forced to work on these cases too, but wil be delayed anyway. They are asking for trouble if this is true. Just my 2c.
 
1) The CSC has abondoned the stupid policy that the CSC has to issue RFE to an applicants whose case is pending more than a year.


I feel that one year or some certain time since I-140 approval is the test mark to issue RFE or not. There must be an internal processing guideline.
 
Kashmir,
A month back I predicted these things and you said that
I should stop dreaming.

Looks like all my predictions are coming true. No?
 
desi-bartender,

It is not that one off that we should concern ourselves with, instead it is the long term trends that are important. What good does it do to us if about 100 cases are approved per day for a few weeks and then the processing is back to normal?

We need to see sustained approval rates for MONTHS before coming to the conclusion as to who predicted the situation correctly.

But here I am praying and Hoping (dare I?) that you are right and the rest of us wrong. But after going through this process for such a long time I have lost most of my optimism.

100 cases per day has STILL NOT been reached, I think it is a little lower than that, in my opinion they need to hit the 200 mark a day before we see anything significant. I am sure the people getting approved don't think as I do, but with over 26,000 cases before me, unless they hit the 200 mark and sustain it, I will be waiting another 2 years atleast. And mind you I am WAC03001!

I cannot understand why you are so pleased with the current situation.
I am not satisfied with the current CSC's process at all.

1) As 140_takes_4ever wrote, "100 approvals per day" is far less than the backlog reduction.
Don Neufeld's promised to SIGNIFICANTLY increase I-485 adjudication resource.
Even if the processing date moves one month per month, the procssing time would be still over 2 years at the end of this fiscal year.

2) 40% of resource are used for new applicants not to expire fingerprints.
It's endless.
Also, it's unfair.
The CSC has kept making old applicants' fingerprint expired.
The CSC has to assign 100% to adjudication of old cases.
Otherwise, it takes 1.5 - 2 months that the procesing date moves one month.

3) There is no guarantee this trend continues through the end of this fiscal year and in FY2005.
The CSC may suddenly shift I-485 resource to others.

We have to keep putting pressure on the CSC and Don Neufeld.

However, the CSC is approving several dozens of LATE APRIL 2002 files without RFE before their fingerprint getting expired.

Also, most of approvals of LATE FEBRUARY 2002 cases in this week are without RFE.
They completed second fingerprint early this year.

I believe that the CSC and Don Neufeld are under strong pressure for backlog reduction.
 
Kashmir,
Dude. Forget CSC I am not satisfied with any service centers
working or in general the state of affairs of immigration in this
country.

Its not like I am personally satisfied with CSC's random case
picking these days. I am just satisfied that I predicted that
CSC will do this thing again. It has done this stupid thing
many times before and I knew that it will be doing it again.
Whenver backlog touch new highs CSC comes down in a hurry
and tries to cut heavy backlog by hook or crook. That is what
I predicted.

Am I saying that CSC has all of a sudden improved? Hell no.
CSC and other service centers can never improve. All this talk
about Pilot Programs and all this random crazy things about
concurrent processing. Just wait and watch how they screw it
all up in few days.

That is all I am saying. So the thing to feel happy about is that
fire has started below Don's behind and he is burning very bad.
Somebody is asking him to bend over and now he is doing what
he can.

Some of us will get lucky and get their green cards and rest of
us will continue to suffer.
 
Also, most of approvals of LATE FEBRUARY 2002 cases in this week are without RFE.

Kashmir,
This means Feb filers with expired FP has to wait ??
I hope thay start approving with Expired FP also..............
 
> This means Feb filers with expired FP has to wait ??

I really don't know...
You may need to ask to the CSC.

> I hope thay start approving with Expired FP also..............

Just hoping doesn't change anything.
I encourage you to join our fight to put pressure on the CSC.
Let's start from making a donation to ImmigrationPortal.ORG.

Wonder how thy miss out Feb ppl and FP others. Seems it is possible ppl on later on months 2002 with FP already completed will get approved 1st then who hv expired FP.

Even if your fingerprint will be exipring soon, there is no guarantee that your I-485 will be adjudicated very soon.
With the current resource, the CSC cannot adjudicate all such cases.
If you are lucky enough, you may get approved withour RFE very soon,
otherwise you may have to wait even 3 or 4 years.

Meanwhile, if the CSC would really want not to expire fingerprints, the CSC may have to take away resource of adjudication of old cases.
3) There is no guarantee this trend continues through the end of this fiscal year and in FY2005.

I guess that the CSC moved or will be moving I-140 resources to new Concurrent Adjudication process.
However, if the CSC would set high priority to the Concurrent Adjudication, the CSC has to take resource away from I-485 adjudication.

Also, when the CSC starts H1-B process in FY2005, we don't know how the CSC allocates resource for H1-B.
Usually, I-129 for H1B and L has high priority.

So, we cannot be optimistic at all.

I found that approvals of LATE FEBRUARY 2002 cases are due to CSC's attempt to prevent from fingerprint expiry.
