Look at the excerpts from murthy.com


Question One : When will the "freeze" be over?

Answer : It appears that, at least for I-485 (Adjustment of Status) cases, there has been a thawing of the "freeze." As we reported December 20, 2002 in our article, Update on Processing Delays, the INS states that they have nearly completed their upgrade of the computer background check systems. This will allow them to obtain the needed feedback. They stated that they are currently able to obtain the needed information, but that the "freeze" has created a backlog.

EDITORIAL COMMENTS : In tracking our own I-485 cases, we received what we believe to be the first "post-freeze" approval. The Law Office of Sheela Murthy received an I-485 approval from the Vermont Service Center (VSC) last week. The case, filed November 30, 2001, was approved December 16, 2002. The notice arrived a few days after the approval. Prior to the receipt of this notice, our Office experienced a three-week break in approval notices. Given our caseload, this three-week hiatus was unusual and attributable to the "freeze." We will continue to track these matters.

That's good

news indeed. I can now think of visiting India again and not relocating permanently.:)
 
may not be true

I have observed some lawyers' offices distribute such kind of message, making people believe they can get approvals sooner than others. Actually it is often a fake. They do so just because they want to attract more customers. However, people are becoming more and more skeptical, because those approvals are to good to be true.
 
Regarding security clearances...

Here's what immigration-law.com says:

"Updated 12/26/2002: Report of Thaw of Freeze in Consular Nonimmigrant Visa Processing - Any Hope for Similar Thaw in INS Adjudications?

The consular processing of nonimmigrant visas has been severely snagged during the past several months pending the new security clearance procedure. However, report [ http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20021226-37543296.htm ] indicates that the consulates have received a large number of security clearances under the new clearance system and the logjam of visa applications is expected to be unravelled fairly quickly. Some good news for international travellers.
As people know, I-485, citizen applications, and other important immigrant proceedings have been held up allegedly pending the new security clearance procedure. We hope to see a similar development in the INS adjudications soon. Please stay tuned to this web site for the development of this news. "

Hard to believe

If Attorney murthy's office received an approval last week, why din't they come out and said that the freeze is over. Though I want to be real optimistic about this, I feel that they are trying to bluff the readers.
