Hi all,

Pulled this from murthy bulletin.

The Nebraska Service Center (NSC) issued a request to the American Immigration
Lawyers Association (AILA) on April 23, 2002 regarding the heavy backlog in
inquiries on applications for Adjustment of Status (I-485) filed with that
Center. NSC has requested that AILA members refrain from using the NSC AILA
liaison for inquiries into I-485 employment-based cases until the cases have
been pending more than 120 days beyond the stated processing timeframes. Cases
in which a child is "aging out" (turning 21) are exempt from this rule.

The AILA liaison is a service available to AILA members for resolution of case
problems within the various Service Centers. Liaison inquiries are appropriate
when there is a problem or an excessive (longer than usual) delay in the
processing of a case, after the attorney has first attempted resolution of the
issue directly with INS. At the time of this writing, even liaison responses are
taking 12 weeks or more. For MURTHYBULLETIN and MurthyDotCom readers with
employment-based I-485s at NSC, the current backlog means that great patience is
required while awaiting case processing.
