Hi,
We(my spouse is a PT) applied for 140/485 in Dec W/O the Visa Screen Cert. as we had to file before Dec31 2004 due retrogression.

140 RD: Dec 30 2004, ND Jan 11 2005(still pending)
485 RD: Dec 30 2004, ND Jan 11 2005 (still pending)
EAD/AP: Approved in May 2005.
Native country: India

We are waiting for US PT license to complete the Visa Screen w/ FCCPT, as as long as we dont recevie the License we cannot produce the Visa Screen to INS.

Due to the recent allotment of more Visas to PT and that they are now processing the cases with PD in Dec 2004 much faster worries me.

- When can we expect an RFE for Visa Screen.
- Where can I look for/find out which PD are they processing 485`s (Retrogressed countries)

thanks

From Murthy.com

Chat User : Hello, Ms. Murthy. Any news as to when will USCIS start processing the pending I-485 for schedule A category now that the 50,000 visa numbers are available?

Attorney Murthy : Actually, during the AILA Annual Conference and meeting in Salt Lake City during the last 4 days, senior Department of State officials projected that the Schedule A visas will start to be issued and processed from August 1, 2005. So, in all likelihood, that is when the details regarding the processing of these cases is expected to be published.

PT and nurses are exempt from there being no visa number available like for other EB-3's. Your case could be looked at soon.

Find your center and the dates for Schedule A nurses is here. I think PT follow the same dates. Anyone else???????

thanks

These processing times are
Schedule A Workers: 140 RD with April 1 2005

But our 140 RD is Dec 30 2004.
 
Reschedule your fingerprinting if you haven't done yet. That may buy you more time for VisaScreen.

Sorry you missed the chance. You will get RFE for VS soon (1 or 2 months) after your I-140 is approved. Upon my knowledge, 140/485 concurrent filing will get RFE for VS sooner than not concurrent filing because they go to different tracks. If you want to file 140 and 485 to get EAD/AP before visascreen is available, don't file concurrently. File 485 after 140 is approved and reschedule fingerprinting to get more time for VS. FP rescheduling would buy you time of 5 months or more.

I do have a question: If my current status is 485 pending and have no other legal status, I get RFE for VS and I cannot submit VS before the RFE deadline. Can I file new 485 application on the RFE due date? Does CIS take my new 485 application and treat it as different case so I still keep legal status of 485 pending? I apprecate very much if anybody can answer the questions. I believe this is not only my possible situation.
