Per trackitt, lots of approval from TSC today. I thought someone said TSC dont work on Mondays. Looks like they do.
I've seen that and included it in my figures.Quote:

Got another CPO for my wife today. I am free now to work for anyone I wish, I am thinking of taking a month off later in February.

Does it happen that an application will never get picked up even when its current? I'm worried that it might happen to my application.
23 primary approvals today so far ( by late tonight might turn out to be 30 for today )..overall Good day.
If the pace stays this way hopefully 9k+ might be approved even though that leaves almost 3-4K for next month.
I was thinking about the conversion ratio again.Quote:

Now we are seeing the "new breed", who only put their case on Trackitt last year or earlier.
They appear to have added cases at a greater % than the "old school", but the % that will update the case status on approval is unknown.
It's quite possible that a lower % are updating the case status, which will result in a higher number of actual approvals.
A better estimate can be made once we know the actual number of approvals for FY2013.
spec,
I have read a few profiles on trackitt from Nov ( pending approval total 63, excluding new filers) and some of them even though appeared as pending but have posted last year that they got GC in message section, moreover some have never posted anything or updated after last year. so of all the unapproved we just know how many of them really are unapproved and moreover the conversion rate is also very difficult to predict considering so many variables.
The rate of approvals per week looks almost constant with some minor variations. I hope this year at least they will make an effort to "process all cases" before closing for the fiscal year.
With folks becoming current in Aug and Sep bulletins, many of us may be considering scrambling to open Services requests, Infopass appointments, etc. in an effort to make sure our cases do not get left behind.
To that effect, I found this interesting article on Avvo written by a immigration lawyer regarding why Infopass appointments don't work. I assume the same may apply to SR's and potentially inquiries made via congressman's office too. Just something interesting to read. Moderators, if you feel this is not relevant, please remove or move to another thread.

All valid points in the article. But for an applicant who is dying to get his / her case resolved, he/she has to check every possible option to get an answer. Even if the chances of success are low, i know I would do it (probably not my first option though). Speaking to a L2 is probably more effective.Quote:

most senators/congressmen won't entertain a request from someone outside their constituency. There is no incentive to them as you are not a future voter. Besides letters don't make any difference in general. Their office would need to do the work/follow up for it to have any impact.Quote:

I haven't gone through the process personally but my guess its an over the phone type thing.Quote:

Interesting that one of the people with a 2007 PD who was "approved" in July when the dates were not Current has been contacted by USCIS to return the GC.
Hopefully, they will now officially approve the case and just send a corrected GC.

I got my green card on July 27, 2013 even before my priority date became current (Aug 01, 2013). Today I got a notice from USCIS that my application was approved in error. They are asking me to return my green card so that they can make corrections. I don't know what it means. If I think positively then they should just issue a new card by correcting the effective dates on that card but with USCIS you never know -:( I am going to return it and see what happens next. This madness would never end....
Anybody else got similar notices ?
His pain is so palpable when he says, "the madness will never end"Quote:

My PD Dec 4th 2007 . I've been in a state of delightful shock for the last few hours. I'm grateful to this forum and all gurus and contributors who take their valuable time to answer and share their experiences and insights. I've personally gained a lot from the stories I hear here on this forum and knowledge I stood to gain over the last 2.5 yrs .
I'm specially looking forward to seeing Indiani's approval . Indiani, I think you should get yours this week. I'm rooting for your approval.
EB2 - great news. Thanks for sharing. We all are indeed waiting for Indiani to get his!
Enjoy the free life !Quote:

Enjoy the moment...:)
Congrats... 2008 was a good year for Montelena cabs. If you get older vintages even better... 2008 is still pretty young for my taste :) I would also recommend an 2008 Jean Louis Chave St. Joseph.. slightly on the expensive side but its excellent!Quote:

Response to attorney's office from uscis today ,
paralegal sent an e-mail on august 1st reminding them that PD is current for me.
I have applied concurrently 140+485 in april 2012 ( with request to retain old PD nov 2007 which was on old-140) , so this attachment doesn't make much sense as the 2nd and latest 140 and the one and only 485 are applied together .
Thank you Matt .Quote:
