THEORY on Proposed Changes

After reading the UCIS memo from Fujie Ohata several times, I am proposing the following theory. The theory applies only for the below conditions

Conditions:
Filing of 140/485 concurrently (doesnt apply if 485 is filed for pending 140)

FP notice already processed

Process
--> Your application has been transferred to a different unit dedicated to adjudicating concurrent applications

--> Existing units will continue to focus on standalone 140s and 485s.

--> Processing times for concurrent applications will be tracked separately. (You may start seeing new line items in published processing times for 140/485 concurrent applications).

--> My guess is that processing date for concurrent applications is Jan 2003 (since 140s would be processed b4 that date)

--> Over time, standalone 140s and 485s will get over and only concurrent apps will remain. At some point, they will make it one single application

--> The new units will be funded thru the hikes in new applications


The effects

--> Backlogs will reduce dramatically for concurrent as well as nonconcurrent holders

--> Concurrent applicats can expect a (dare I say it) Green card along with 140 approval

--> Biggest loser is CP option, since now they have to wait longer...



Outstanding issues

What the heck is Just in time shelf??? how do I get my application to THAT shelf??

Please input your thoughts....this new rule seems to have some serious repurcussions to processing times...







my details
EB2RIR : Concurrent

FP: 03/../04
 
It is a gimmick. See instead of saying n*2 cases are pending, they will say n cases are pending. Belv me they will publish it like that after couple of months. Result - backlog will be reduced in number not in real.
