Chat User : Dear Ms. Murthy, you wrote last week that AOS approvals are still slow or even not coming along at all. What do you think is going on that accounts for this slowdown?
Attorney Murthy : The slowdown may have to do with the INS backlogs, delays with FBI security clearances, or their own administrative processing delays. Also, the INS is required to adjudicate some case types like the H1Bs, L-1s, and many other short-term classifications much faster. So, the GC processing seems to be taking longer and longer since the INS probably believes that that is not required on a rush basis, with the person having agreed to work permanently for the GC-sponsoring employer. We are continuing to receive approvals of AOS cases on a fairly regular basis. We have gotten them from Vermont, Nebraska, and California, but not Texas.
