well I became really curious about this and wanted to ask somebody....but then who knows about this...so I decided I will call up customer service of the USCIS and a rep picks up and I pose the question to her to which she tries to answer something and I counter question. Finally she gives up and transfers me to an officer who listens to me and takes my case details(at this point I was cursing myself for calling USCIS...hoping he does not screw me). Anyways he looks at my details and tells me that NSC is focusing on PD's more now a days than RD's and that is the reason why some late 2003 and 2004 cases are getting approved before mine. Now he mentioned that there might be some exceptions but that is the general rule they seem to follow. So then I asked him if he can tell when my case would get approved to which he mentioned may be Sept 2005 or 2006....hmmm that was scary.....but then he said he was kidding and cannot give any predictions. Now that was not at all funny to me....I almost choked on that. But anyways when I looked up some of the cases that were being approved here I found that he had a very valid point(ofcourse I did not look up rupnet....I am not convinced that rupnet has accurate PD data there). So for all the folks who are looking at the approvals and thinking why their day is not coming...this might be something to consider. Now dont hold me on this point...this is just my observation from my conversation with USCIS.....who knows what BS goes on there. God bless and hope all get their GC's soon

Thanks for sharing this valuable conversation. We all hope our approvals come fast.
coochap,
USCIS officer is correct, if you want to verify...just go to NSC - RFE tracker spread sheet you will notice most of the approvals PD falls under 2001/02, who are getting approved within few weeks after CIS receives RFE documents. But many are still waiting, I checked couple of cases and it seems the pending cases falls under Mar-June 2003 PD ( LC Priority date). My LC PD is June 2003, and I am still waiting even after 6 weeks of RFE response.

True, it seems that this is the way NSC is going. To me that seems very fair even if I am at a disadvantage. The whole process is grueling and it makes sense to give relief to people who have been in this for long. Anyways this makes me feel much better and not obsessively checking this forum and rupnet everyday. I know my chance "may" come in 3-5 months. So, all the folks who are in the same position buckle up and stay put your day will come soon. Dont lose faith...remember this is a great country and we will have our day to party.

My PD is is in aug 2001. I filed I140/485 separately. I filed my 3rd EAD but still no LUD change after 1st fingerprint which is may 2004. still waiting & others having PD after me also getting approved. I hope to get lucky before july.
I hope to get lucky before july.Well the data(approvals here and RFE tracker) does not prove that your lawyer is right. Maybe you should ask him on what premise/observation/data, has he used to come to the conclusion, that they are processing according to ND. I(and probably others too) will be very interested to hear his answer.
