Yes, July has a lot of applicants and could take some time for Aug. But ...
we are at a stage where there are a lot of July and July onwards applicants who have yet to get their FP done. I wonder what strategy INS would adopt ... maybe it will start Aug sooner ... just my 2 cents.

How can you tell July has a lot of applications? As I am in August RD, out of curiosity, I collected all the unique list of August filers who registered in this forum as well as in "www.e-nairobi.com/AOS" .The number is 158 primary filers. So can anyone tell me how many people are filed in July?

Thanks for the number break up of cases, esbee
Even I have seen the posting for those Aug approvals. But this is a vague information.This was posted by a July RD guy that he got this information from his attorney. He also mentioned that in those approvals, one is Aug 15th RD which is same as mine. So I am just curious about the approval.Anyway good luck for all.The pattern of approvals seems making more people confused.

As July-Auguest cases are so many, VSC would skip them to Sept and Oct cases
And Sept and Oct cases could get approved earlier than July+Aug. It is the so called parellel processing that you guys are talking about!
I would do nothing but retrieve my imagination and keep my fingers crossed...

Nothing will happen man. Don\'t discourage people. If at all retrogression comes, it will come in October 2002(fiscal year of INS) .Till that time, don\'t even think of it. It is useless.

This is a painful issue - hope retrogression does not impact those who\'ve paid their waiting dues.
Remember, INS took the 485 filings in 98-2000 into their calculation of GC/H-1B quotas when they came up with the new legislation in Sep 2000 to speed up the process. VSC is trying to catch up and clear the backlog. When they do PDs should retrogress, but only to a point to which a \'wait-er\' caught in it waits approx 6 months to get the GC after the 485 filing (6 months inferred from the 6-month-employee change rule). So let\'s stay positive and not speculate too much. Thanks.

Aug approvals should kick-in arround middle of Apr, for sure.
Keep in mind that the INS processing speed relies more on the case number for all Immigration Benefits applications rather than the I-485 case only. Althought the number of cases for immigration benefit in Aug hit record high, it was not as scary as you saw in those official polls. The new case receipts was arround 500-600k before March and it jumped to 700-800k from March till August. The encouraging part was that despite the big jump, the VSC maintained a good speed of approving cases. It only took us 3 months to see the first July approval since the first March approval was reported in this forum. The VSC was actually speeding up in the past 3 months, not even mention the holiday season. There was no sign for retrogression at all. We have more than enough reason to believe that first Aug approver will appear in the middle of next month...
