USCIS has updated processing timeframe!!

[MGTgrl]

Like I said click on that link, it is on that page; scroll down a bit. It is under :"Important Notice". MTGrl quoted in her first post what that paragraph says. It is there.....

Dear PHDI,

Like Clotty send, just click on this link: http://uscis.gov/graphics/services/refadjust/index.htm

And you will find it under "Important Notice". If you still have a problem, Click on the link I gave you and on your browser, click on "Find" and enter "important Notice" and it will take you right where it is.

I think you were just looking at the web page that lists all the processing dates for all the different applications. That one was not updated (I don't know why)

Good luck

PS. And if you still can't find it, then you will just have to trust us that it says Sept 30, 2006!!

Dear Glotty, sorry to bother you with my same question , the fact Igive up searching, I really find hard time to capture this update, "Important notice " is it under what's new? and if it is what to click next,
Thank you for you help waiting for your responce.

Important Notice:

The Service is receiving between 25,405– 43,881 applications per year. As a result, as of January 10, 2005, approximately 186,170 asylee adjustment applications were pending. We anticipate that we will process pending applications according to the following schedule:

Date Received (Mail Date) Timeframe to be Processed
On or before March 31, 2006 September 30, 2006

We emphasize that these dates are APPROXIMATIONS; unforeseen occurrences may delay processing.

still I find it hard to believe that they could adjust 150,000 asylee for 6 months...

It sure is a lot and they do seem ambitious about it but remember that it is an estimation, not a guarantee. They spreaded the workload among a few service centers and gave a lot of the derivative cases to the local offices, so maybe it may not be all done by Sept but they sure have speeded it up enough to get it done within a year.

I am wondering where you got this number from - It says as of January 2005 they had aprox 186 thousand, plus the average they are recieving each year. We do not know how many approvals were done during the last 15months. Although we are aware that NSC redistributed work to Texus -

MGTgrl , thank you very much for posting this information! Was down, but it make my day.

Date Changed again

What an error they have changed the date back again to

"The Service is receiving between 25,405– 43,881 applications per year. As a result, as of January 10, 2005, approximately 186,170 asylee adjustment applications were pending. We anticipate that we will process pending applications according to the following schedule:

Date Received (Mail Date) Timeframe to be Processed

This timeline makes more sense (especially for the new applicantions) considering their enormous workload. Of course that does not mean that a ND2004 or a ND2005 will have to wait till the end of 2007; they are all estimations. But still, 1.5 years (which Sep 2007 roughly is) is not that bad. Anyone who already was asked REF will likely get an answer before 2007 because they would not have asked medicals (which are good for one year) if they were not ready to process that particular file within a year.

Well I guess 2007 still is not that bad

Shefe, thanks for the update

Where I got this number from? It is a simple logic, I would say. uscis will not be able to adjust more then 50,000 asylee for one year. what about the rest? I really hope to be wrong, but the shefe info just confirm my thoughts
what can we do? hope and wait only...

ND Sempt. 2005
BIO3 Oct. 2005
RFI- waiting...

Anyone who already was asked REF will likely get an answer before 2007 because they would not have asked medicals (which are good for one year) if they were not ready to process that particular file within a year.
Do not forget about the "approximations" They don't care that your medical is good for one year. If it expires while they are taking their sweet time "working" on your case - you will have to redo it and pay for it again. It took them more than 4 months after my G-325 and medical were received to figure out what to do next - only after I mailed a written inquiry. Bastards! Considering that my case is now stuck in SF AO the above scenario is a very likely to happen to me. My medical expires in September and chances that my I-589 would be adjudicated by then are very low, taking into consideration the speed of processing.

Read my wording again though. I said "if they were not READY to process the file" which is true, but that does not mean that the process of the said file will take less than a year. So of course like in your case things may take longer than anticipated.

And I also said :"Anyone who already was asked REF will likely get an answer before 2007", not "will definitely", so of course I am aware that exceptions do apply.

My point is if the processing of the file takes more than one year, it means they aren't ready to process it.

No. If the caps were not removed then most of us , ND 2004's and ND2005's would have been asked for RFI/RFE's 7 years later or something, not this year. They ask for RFI's when they ASSUME/are READY to start processing your file and the act of asking the RFE's IS starting that process. Things may go wrong or take long (like in some cases the name check takes longer than a year), but that does not mean that they were not ready to process your file. The fact that you were asked for RFI is a part of that said process so how can they not be ready to start something that they already started by asking you the RFI? Get what I mean?

ETA: I think we are in disagreement because we are using the word "process" in diferent meanings. What I mean by "process the file" is "work on it". and they ask for RFI when they are READY to process your file/work on your file, but that does not mean that "processing" period will take less than one year guaranteed, which is why I said I am aware of exceptions.

I got asylum granted in the last century, my ND is 2001 and the cap removal made no difference for me, so far.

I see. In my case (ND2004) it sure did, so I am glad that they removed those darn caps, heh he. I hope you get approval soon.
