Until the date of the sunset passes, September 30, 2003, there will be delays in responding to inquiries for forms I-140, concurrently filed I-140/I-485's and for I-485 cases with previously approved I-140's, because CSC will be prioritizing the application types associated with the sunset. Accroding to csc during this sunset period, withhold inquiries for other division I form types, except in emergency situations, and do not submit duplicate inquiries.
