Question about impact on CP process of new laws for concurrent processing

[quickdraw27]

Hey everyone

Given the article, New Procedures for Concurrently Filed I-140/I-485 Cases on www.murthy.com, (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_newpro.html) what does this mean for I-140 cases that are filed for Consular Processing from this point on. Will the processing times of these cases be affected as they do not fall in the "concurrent filing" category. Has there been any communication from the Processing centers in this regard?

Thanks

Sunit,
here are some links, but do not believe in the discussions as the gospel truth.

There is also a good discussion on this matter in one of the threads on this forum. I can't locate it now, maybe someone else will throw some light.

yes, and my guess is that now the CP interviews for stand alone I-140's will start speeding up later in the year too since less number of people will file for AC I-140 (change from 485 to CP) --> the latter again being due to I-140's not being approved until 485 requirements are met..so u can't change to CP until I-140 is approved

NSC update on FP and 485 backlog - May 11

might help people considering CP or AOS

Fingerprint notices and I-485 backlog

The center put to practice a nine month delay in the fingerprinting to lessen the problem of fingerprints expiring prior to adjudication of the case last year, but the headquarters recently directed the center to print all adjustment applicants upon filing. Depending upon backlogs in the Application Support Centers, most of those cases will schedule for prints soon after filing, but the major numbers also face delays in scheduling. The center is working towards adjudicating I-485's within six months by the end of FY 06. Hence at some point by the next year, the center should adjudicate most I-485 before the prints expire. Also the center should have promised that prints will be captured and stored, allowing to get new print results without applicants being reprinted. There have been indications that this might be available by the end of this year.
