10/08/2004: Transfers of I-130 Relative Immigrant Petitions to CSC and Its Impact

* The Service Centers (NSC and TSC) have been transferring the pending I-130 petitions to the California Service Center in an effort to reduce the backlogs in other proceedings, particularly I-485 applications. AILA has reported that the Nebraska Service Center will complete transfer of all the I-130 petitions to CSC by November 1, 2004. The transfer of I-130 petitions evolves mixed results for the immigrants. Firstly, it certainly raises the expection and hope for the EB-485 application waiters in these Service Centers that the terribly backlogged I-485 processing may see some changes beginning November 2004.
 
interesting.....

That is an interesting piece of information....lets hope we can start seeing some real changes starting nov 1 or even earlier!! :rolleyes:

I-130 dates are April, 2001 at NSC. I-130 applicants should be more happy than pending I-485s at NSC.
 
well I guess then.. since I130 hasn't moved much, it may not make much diff for 485. :( I hope I am wrong!

I guess it might mean that NSC will have more Immigration officers available to work on I-485 cases instead on I-130 cases that are moved to CSC. Let's hope that may slightly speed up the I-485 adjudications.

Didn't they state clearly that they have enough immigration officers, and implied in a sense that this is not the reason for delays?

As for the original topic, I doubt that it will make a huge difference.

If they want to speed up and say they have enough IO, they can - look at processing dates:

CSC: i-140 12/15/03; NSC i-140 09/15/03 (3 months difference)
CSC: i-485 11/07/03; NSC 05/31/02 (30 monhs difference)

Only TSC is even worse than NSC.

If they relieve NSC IOs from working on i-130s - it probably is good news for EB NSC cases.
 
Well i see it is a good news for... I don't know how many men it will free up at NSC to speed up 485s but atleast it'll give enough load on CSC to hold their horses which they are running so fast in approving 485s. That makes me jealous to see ppl applying 6-7 months after me getting approvals....

But nothing from Jan 04 or Dec 03 at NSC!!! There is one (1) recent approval of concurrent I-485 from Nov 2003 at NSC before that, and practically nothing for the rest of 2003. I wonder about these four February 04 (all EB3) cases at NSC: they probably were expedited (but how?) ahead of all others. Were they concurrent, or not, one cannot figure it out from the Rupnet listing. CSC published processing times for i-140/i-485 are Dec/Nov 2003 - and these relate not only to a few (expedited?) cases like at NSC, but to cases adjudicated through regular procedure, probably speeded up thanks to the pilot program that was active at CSC this Summer for EB2s. Since the pilot program obviously worked fine at CSC maybe USCIS will now apply this experience in other SCs (why else one does the pilot program if not to check whether something will work). But I haven't seen anywhere if USCIS made any comment about it - maybe in their statistical report for 2004 which will be published in 2005, recommendations will be made in 2006, all centers will adjudicate i-485s in 90 days in 2008 - just joking of course. Now back to work and forget about GC for a while.

WOW! I was referring to NSC approvals at rupnet for the months in 2003 - I guess you have a more reliable source. Thanks for good news!
