Have been hearing from a few lawyers that, now that the IIOs do not have to answer calls, they will help with processing cases, expecially 485s. Any thoughts?
Will 485 speed pick up?

Near Future is bleak

I think so the future is bleak. The problem is that the cases are so many that it is just going to take very long.
One way to expedite the cases is to take them in parallel and not one at a time. I think there is some degree of parallelism but not much. bottom line these processes are not efficient even though they seem complicated.
Look at Texas. we are heading in that direction. There are spurts of approvals now and then but no consistancy. My believe is getting fortified that they are going to star issuing 2 year EAD and we should start thinking about thriving on EAD's
Hope I am wrong.

me thinks concurrent filing and premium processing are partially to blame.
they now have to review I-140 once before approving EAD and then again when the time comes for approving the I-140 itself.
Premium processing demands that a case be looked into within 15 days (or so). Normally they would not have to act so fast.
The final nail on the coffin is the anti-immigrant policy if any at the top.

i-140 gets approved in prereview
I-140 gets approved during prereview.. most of the times there is no re-review... accroding to new rule.
Concurrent filing is meagre right now to give u a small statistics
no of i-485 apps between oct2001 and sept2002 is 30k
and from oct2002 to may2003 is mere 1700
I guess half of them will be concurrent...The main thing is the amount of applications which are already pending...and dusting on the shelves.... concurrent is secondary...
have fun waiting

Historical Rate Data..
Guys,
Do you know what used to be the approval rate in the day of yore? You know the pre sept-2001 era, when I-485 was not such an untouchable.
Now that everybody is talking of worst case scenarios, lets see whats our "best" bet depending on old approval rate..!

INSBeats2death, CSC is capable of clearing this backlog they've created in less than 1.5 years .. if they fire all engines.
That's a big "IF".
Plus, we don't know the real reason for their delay .. I suspect it's the upper officials asking INS to slow down a bit and stem the inflow of immigrants.

East Coast cities were the ones that got blown away by the 9/11 incidents. And they are still approving left right and center. Yeah, it must be the economy. Or the more plausible reason would be that CSC IIO's are butt lazy and need only the slightest excuse to slow down.
One more reason
I am planning to go to Laguna Niguel office tomorrow. So I went there on Friday to check the working hours.
Well – 3 years ago it was very hard to find a parking place in front of the INS entrance.
Nowadays – the parking lot is empty. Obviously INS has been hit hard with low budget.
Many people here say VCS works fast – but look at their JIT report. They are not that much ahead from CSC.
All this shows one more time – slowing down the immigration services is in fact a government’s desire.

I believe it is sheer overload..
due to 9/11 tons of older immigrants have started applying for citizenship...
the idea that by stemming the flow of 485 approvals, fewer immigrants will come in is absurd..to stem that flow the mexican border needs to be sealed. here i am using immigrants to descibe both the illegal border jumpers as well as suckers like us who worry about I-94s and approval notices.
I think the bad economy has stalled the LCs and I-140s ...you need smarter lawyers to prove how one is essential to the economy over some many older citizens.
I believe people who have their 485s already submitted have a foot in the door..those that are in the LC stage could be in trouble..my lawyer had predicted a 3 yr period from 2001 spring when he said that the PDs for India and China will be current..I think we are dangerously close to that day when the backlogs come back.
I agree that the H1 premium processessing has messed up regular H1 petition approvals..2 guys got hired in my group got their approval in 3 days in CSC!! I see that others have been stuck for 5 months in the regular queue.

I agree
it is not that CSC is not working
They are working but not on 485 cases.
They are working on 140, EAD's....I-129's . people working on 485's were steered away to support NSEER's(special registration).
so INS served double purpose of curbing immigration and deporting innocent people mostly muslims...This is unfortunate..
this does not imply that those people after special registratin were retained to adjudicate 485's....for obvious reasons...
2004 vote for President would be key .. If Bush comes to power ....It would probably make it more worst...

I was very concerned about the slow process about 6 months back and was dubbed as the most pessimistic guy on the web. However I am still holding my belief that we will start to see meaningful 485 approvals once Bush is fighting for his reelection. OK, that means Nov/Dec 02 cases will be approved most likely before the mid of next year. ONe more year to suffer. Hang on,
US may deport 'illegal' Muslims

ARE they going to waste some more time in this after special registration?

I agree, but they have barrels to approve. If CSC has for average month about 2500 i-485s, VSC has 12000 (check with their thread). It means that when CSC approves 25 per day, VSC will approve with proportionally allocated worforce more than 100 per day which is reflected in rupnet postings and here. That's my theory for now.
Approvals will start pouring in!!!!
Hi ,
I believe that approvals will start to pour in a couple of months. This is pure speculation, but I think that as we head in to the presidential election year, you will see a stream of approvals.
So guys just keep your hopes.....

I am sorry, but would someone explain to me why the president would ask the INS to speed up 485 approvals when the election 2004 campaign begins?
I don't see how we would factor into the equation-we are not that important-and remember that Bush is running for his second term. By the time we get out Gcs and citizenship Bush's grand kids will be running for president and we'll be too old to see or hear and so will not go for the polling.
