cool, yeah, anyone I know of personally who got FP notice, has only got for 485. theoretically, after FP, whenever file is with IO, it can be adjudicated anytime.

Does this mean that now USCIS/DOS has much more demand and we should see actual demand in next bulletin ?
Would GC be handed out till the end of sep 2012 or can it halt in between ?

Does anyone have any idea on what the demand is between 7/15/2007 and 11/1/2007? and how many QSP numbers are expected this quarter. This might give us an idea on our wait time, just a thought...

BTW, recent news, a Nov 2011 NSC applicant (within Trackitt) got his/her 485 approval with a PD date of 7/31/2007

---

I got the following stats by querying trackitt based on RD. These are only for primary & EB2I. Assuming pre-July cases all got approved. I am not sure how to factor the other variables(like folks who didn't update tracker with their cases, dependents, portings etc). Probably GURUs can help us.
=========================================
Cases Pending from July - Sep : 64 (TSc:45 + NSC:19)
Cases Pending from Just October : 89 (TSc:73 + NSC:16)
Cases pending from Just November: 271 (TSc:162 + NSC:109)

November VB date was 11/1/2007. I believe we will see some approvals of the guys with PD between 7/15/2007-11/1/2007 after several days.

---

Actually, there is one case on trackitt, username "stadala", whose PD is July 31 2007. Filed in November and I-485 is approved. Approved on Jan 9. Total time to get GC: 69 days. NSC, EB2, dependant.

---

OK thanks. So it does need to be tagged to the proper primary applicant.
I have asked my lawyer to update me if they were able to talk to USCIS. lets see what they say.

Dependents(whose primary's GC already approved) cases processed on fast track so this should not be considered as a regular Nov filing case. There are a few other category Nov filers like EB1/ROW/CC got approvals but I don't think they actually touched any regular EB2I cases filed in November.

Oh, I see! I didn't know that :)

red2green,
Your PD is 07/31/2007 :) I guess we will have to keep you on our radar. Once you go from red 2 green, the rest of us (after Jul) will follow.... :)

Guys (I assume) thanks for keeping me on the radar! Thus far the approvals in Jan 2012 have been impressive. For all categories except for EB2 I/C some Nov filers have also been approved, the case for stadala is not a clean one its dependent only. Hopefully our turn will come soon. TSC is also doing well now more than PD looks like they are going by RD right now the approvals are mostly confined to early Oct RD's. Our turn will come soon, the quarterly spillover / current allocation is really good. There are many older filers from Feb to Jul 2011 who are still waiting so there is still a lot of ground to cover. Nov filers is a much larger group than Oct. Good luck to everyone.
Here are my details.
TSC - RD - 11/02/2011, ND - 11/07/2011, PD - 07/24/2007, FP- 11/25/2011, EAD/AP- 12/22/20011

Teddy, whats your take on next months Visa bulletin? Do you think Nov filers are huge and will reflect in DD and will stop, or it surges into 2010?

Next month bulletin could also really go either way. Following are some points -
Positive Forces
- Some people have posted that their attorneys are still positive about EB2 I/C movement, the news / rumors from them has thus far been quite accurate, hope this trend continues.
- Nov filings are still not adjudicated as we have not seen any evidence of Nov filers approvals or EB2 I/C. DOS is going by their demand data a case will be reported here only if is documentarily qualified.
- Taking new intake is purely discretionary and does not violate any laws and may therefore continue. It helps to give clarity on the actual demand.
Negative Forces
- Trackitt approvals have been quite good for EB2 I/C this may indicate a consumption of atleast 12K.
- The approvals for EB2 I/C still lag behind all other categories this may indicate a lack of sanctioned numbers.
- The rate of approvals for EB1 are higher than last year and EB2 ROW is picking up this may hurt SOFAD for this year.
Overall next bulletin can also go either way, the onus is really on USCIS.

---

The demand data showed 8.5K, while the inventory showed 14K before Jul 2007. Probably the truth could be around 11K, additionally we have 2K PWMB's. There are several people on Trackitt who have applied in May - Jul (PWMB) and still waiting and porting is coming by constantly. This could account for 1-2K cases and these folks may take precedence. Otherwise the line is clear for next month. It will be really interesting to see the remainder of this month if there are any approvals for Nov filers, I hope there is some start then traction can build up.

Trackitt is down again.

They desperately need that additional server.

It is back up again. Assuming trackitt cases represents 4.5% from the total universe, we have 919 cases entered since Oct 2011 for EB2I giving us a total of about 20K in USCIS pipeline. In a few months when most of 2009 and 2008 PDs are registered, we may see pipe of about 45-50K. Just saying.

Great news! Many Congrats Veni. Enjoy Greenary. :)

Thanks for sharing and congratulations! Time to change your username ;)

Congratulations! A Nov filer getting GC is amazing. QSP Lives!! The fact that we still have visa numbers available even after more than 8K-10K consumption already is an encouraging sign.

All these cases also serve to extend the lower limit of the retrogression when it finally happens. The speed of processing is phenomenal here too - less than two months. Isn't Nebraska considered a slower service center?

Update: Thinking a bit more - is this also a confirmation of the fact that RD does not matter much? Here we have an approval for a 14-Nov RD when so many of the first-week-of-Nov filers are still waiting?

Great news. All the very best. You gave us lots of hope now.

Congrats dude. That's great news. What magic did you do?
It shows there is no order in which they are approving i.e. PD/RD/ND/FP or anything.

Q, I have not even got FP yet. I am beginning to suspect a delay with Oxnard, Ventura county, California ASC is messed up delayed. I have opened service request. Any guys from up here, what say u?

I am not that worried about EAD etc, that has SLA of 90 days. But yes, FP is needed to strike while iron is hot.

Never heard of 485 approval without FP.

Godspeed plz!

Thanks Nishant! Yup ... I have double masters ... MS and MBA from here. Working fulltime with a Fortune 500 company ...don't know if it mattered ...
