I would like to bring a couple of things to your attention. First, as some of you know I was trying to track the all pending I140s concurrent filings in a mini thread (which was CLOSED by someone without my permission.) The purpose was to do a quick recap and collect data to see whether those still waiting might get a concurrent approval as per ohata memo. I thank all those who responded.
We have seen a massive jump in the 485 dates in the last update. I don't think they pulled these dates out of a hat. We have been seeing concurrent approvals lately from NDs in April, May, June, 2003 and later (see usnycus's concurrent approval) If you look at the 485 updates from Mar, Apr, May and June of 2004 the dates held steady at Feb 15, 2002 while we saw approvals with NDs later than that along the way.
I believe VSC might be implementing the ohata memo and it looks like some concurrent I140/485 applications will be on put on hold until 485 is ready to be processed as per ohata memo. In other words if your 140/485 ND is around Apri/May/June 2003 and your 140 is not processed expect a concurrent approval.
