Murthy's news letter got approvals only from VSC
Question One : Has your Office started to see more approvals of I-485s
now that the "freeze" is supposed to have ended?
Answer : Yes, we have gotten a few. The most recent one was from the
Vermont Service Center. It had been filed in December 2001. We have also
received information that indicates the local offices are starting to
approve cases again.
EDITORIAL COMMENTS : The approval notices are coming in slowly and
nowhere near "normal" levels. However, it does seem there has been at least
a bit of progress in this area. The few approvals that we have received
so far have been from the Vermont Service Center. Our Office files
cases at all of the INS Service Centers. We will continue to monitor this
matter and advise our readers as the situation, hopefully, returns to
normal in the near future.
