What do you think of this Logic?

[Master06]

I-485 Cases are based on A# serials. Which are specially generated for I-485. Security Clearences and consolidation of I-140's and Background Check all are the factors included in the I-485 Process. Once every thing is done on a case then it will come for assignment for an officer. Till then it will be pending. Thats the reason the cases that are pending from October November are waiting for some kind of clearence in those Processes.

I Mean this also
Before the case is assigned to an officer at the last stage of its process who will finally adjudicate the case. But the background check, FP results check, medical report check, employment check , etc. etc. , all the other internal check processes are completed as a part of its standard process. And the assigned adjudicating officer may give decision on the case depending on all these reports.

Just a thought. Your Comments and suggestions are most welcome for this statement.

Another part of this logic is FP check is done before assigned to officer, so once a case has been assigned to an officer, second FP notice won't be triggered. That's why some ppl get approved even after a month FP has expired. But however, if your case is in workload distribution area, second FP will be sent 7 days after your FP date to you. That's what I found from reading forums and rupnet approvals. If anyone has more information, please provide to us.

What is the expiration date for the FP?
Are we counting the 15 months from the day we did the FP or what?

I received RFE before FP expired, but replied after it was expired. Called in a couple days ago. IIO said I should expect to re-FP. Frustrated. It has been a month since they received my response.

yes, i think 15 mos is correct.
BTW, i still dont understand why FP expires.. it's not like our faces.. FP doesn't change as time goes by... anyone like bio-metric, medico-legal gurus, am i right ?

fingerprints expire because they don't keep them

fingerprints expire because they don't keep them. They are not allowed by law. They run them against database and the delete
(atleast theoreticaly/legaly) This might change due to the laws passed after 9/11

I dont agree with Master06's thought

I dont agree with Master06. The case's might be pulled out by A# but definitely in the order of the date. This is how it goes in the I-485 stage.....

1. They pick a bunch of cases and make it into groups.
2. Each group of cases is assigned to an officer.
3. The officer then looks to see if the procedures have been completed/papers are all good to go. If not he is going to send out either a memo or notice. All insufficient docs are sent an RFE and all FP expiries are sent FP requests to local INS.
4. The case goes back to the stack.
5. When an RFE/FP is received, it is tagged in the file with other documents in the stack by some people who are told to put these things together(not officers)
6. The case is picked up when (1) is repeated.

If one officer is slower than others, then all the cases under him are delayed and so it goes..........

What do you guyz think ? about my thoughts.......
