08/07/2003: I-140 to Experience Slow-Down for Next Two Months
The special immigrant petitions for religious workers (I-360) other than minister category and related I-485 cases need expedite so that these cases be adjudicated before the law sunsets at the end of September 2003. Under the exigent circumstances, the BCIS decided to expedite these cases. The Service Center sources indicate that the adjudicators who are currently working on I-140 petitions and related EB-485 applications will be taken out of these product lines and swiched to I-360 and related EB-485 product lines, with the resulting delays of adjudications for I-140 adjudications for the next two months. As this reporter reminded people so many times, immigration agency decision on prioritization always produces winners and losers. It is the fact of life in immigration business.

May be this is what they were praying for before the altars all the time when we were thinking they were praying for us.......
