Hi,

My spouse is a PT. We filed concurrently(I-140 & I-485) together on 26 July 2006. We received an RFE and responded on October 17th. This is what the online update shows:

On October 18, 2006, we received your response to our request for evidence or information. However because preliminary processing was complete, the remaining processing time will be less than the maximum stated in this message. You will receive a written decision on this case. You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done. Follow the the link below for current processing dates.

What are the chances of our case being allocated a visa number?

Thanks in advance.
 
You have two days :) hope for approval...Good Luck. Retrogression starts on Nov 01, 2006 for Schedule A.

Thanks for the reply Sunnyprince

Hi Sunnyprince,

Is there any number that I can (should) call in the next two days to check where our I-485 approval stands ?

Or is there any way I can find out if we are lucky; other than waiting for the update.

Also would they notify us immediately (in the next two days) or does it take couple of days to update.

Thanks in advance (2 mant questions but just a lil bit anxious!!!)
 
papers at nvc

hello,
I am a new applicant under schedule A, i just receive my ds230 and IV fee bill.
A number such as SGP2006664001 was given as case status, what is this number stands for. Is this already a visa number?
Just contacted NVC with this number and NVC reply that processing of papers will take 2-4 weeks, does this means that I am not affected by retrogression?
 
This is what I found at Murthy Forums

Hi Joko,

I am not sure what that number means but I was reading an article on Murthy.com and this is what I found:

---- A question that we at The Law Office of Sheela Murthy are often asked is: What happens now that the Priority Date will regress for my application?

If a person has already filed the I-485 application when the dates were current, but then the Visa Bulletin date retrogresses to a date before the priority date, the foreign national would still accrue the benefit of being able to remain in the U.S. with renewable EAD or work authorization and permission to travel, even after completing the six years on H1B status in the U.S. However, the I-485 could not be approved until the date again becomes "current." ----

The Schedule A category will slip into EB3 (unless favorable immigration bill passed becomes a law) and if you are from a country (India, Mexico, China & Phillipines) whose priority date is not current I guess you will get affected.

Thanks

Forgot to state that i am outside of the US. I am currently working in Singapore. Just verify with US embassy in Singapore and they tell me that the number given to me is the priority number for interview.advised me to wait for 6 months.

you already have a visa number.
