Service Center Operations Update CSC 04/28/2004

One Processing Time Report date for I-140s filed as stand alone and concurrent filings

According to the center there would be one PTR date for I-140s filed as stand alone and concurrent filings. But, if the case is a concurrent filing, the I-140/I-485 packet will be pulled when the I-485 is adjudication ready regardless of the fingerprints and/or name checks have cleared. If the I-485 is not adjudication ready, the I-140 will not be pulled for adjudication based on the I-140 processing date.




With respect to the March 31, 2004 memo if an I-140 is filed on April 27, 2004 and the I-485 is filed on May 20, 2004, under the concurrent filing regulations is this filing series ?

For the purpose of implementing this memo - concurrent filing means any I-140/I-485 filed at the same time or a subsequent I-485 filing pursuant to a pending I-140 if no adjudicative action has been taken on the I-140.


May be bad news for concurrnet filers of course some people might lucky, they say unless 485 is not adjudication ready they wont touch I-140 meaning NO AC21.....
 
question

lets say

1. filed under concurrent processing (not at same time) but before i140 was adjudicated.

2. i140 got approved.

doesn't this para say that the new memo will not apply ....

"Are the instructions equally applicable to concurrently filed cases that are currently in pipeline and not yet adjudicated with respect to the March 31, 2004 interoffice memo.

The recent memo would apply to concurrently filed I-140/I-485 cases that are n the centers adjudication pipeline that is if there has been no adjudicative action regarding the I-140. If the center has already adjudicated the I-140, the memo would not apply.

1.For new filers,first they are processing I-485.
If the finger printing and name check cleared
then only they are processing I-140.
So for no portabilty chance for new filers!!!
In my case,i filed on march 2004.In online status only for EAD and I-485 dates are moved not I-140.But for new filed cases really pbm.Bcos from my filed date march 2004.The FP and name check clearence will take 2 years then after that only I-140 will be adjudicated together.Then in this economy how to change Jobs?Really a question????


2.For old filed cases like first I-140 and after 485.For them not this procedure.But portability chance are more for Separate filed cases!!!
