I see that even now there are few RFE's and if there is an RFE after august then the chances of getting GC will be very slim.
Moreover I am losing confidence that CIS is going to process almost all the cases who are current , the pace at which they are doing, they might finish at the most 10 to 12K by September ( as spec mentioned before, they won't give any approvals towards last part of September ).
TSC had almost negligible approvals today, have no clue why.
If i remember it correctly, people were getting 485 approvals late in the evening and also early morning when the dates were current for EB2I the last time.
I wonder why we are we not seeing the same thing happen this time when the dates current again?
MATT, thanks for wishes.Quote:

I have these three questions:
1) If date may retrogress, then when the earliest that can happen? As the financial year is ending in Sept. 2013. So that means date can only retrogress after Sept. 30th?
2) Suppose date retrogress on Oct. 1st 2013 and by that time, if my EAD has not come, then I will have to wait till my priority date becomes current even for EAD? I am more worried about EAD, because my wife can start work after that. If i leave my sponsoring company 180 days before pending my i-485, will nullify my wife's EAD?
3) Usually how many days (business/calendar?), does EAD takes to come? Does finger printing request comes before EAD?
3) My priority date is Sept 1st 2006. Any guesstimate, how many years date may get retrogressed?
No one knows, how USCIS process applications, based on priority date or application receiving date or on their mood ?
Thank you in advance.
Any Comments.User posted the following information on trackitt.User has PD of June30,2008.I guess the dates will move to July otherwise why would they approve him?

I'm convinced/relaxed now. Today afternoon I received similar message I received earlier (Card Production).
Just now received below message. Now it says 60 days
Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Your Case Status: Decision
On August 5, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before receiving your card, please call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.
dec2007 Congratulations on your approval, enjoy green life. Good luck to everyone who is current.
I was going through Trackitt and noticed that out of the 67 approvals, 33 of them are 2006 and prior (most of them from NSC). This tells me that NSC is adjudicating on PD dates which in turn implies that porting cases are getting cleared first.
This will allow the CO to make a very educative decision in the coming days before the VB is released.
Comments???

1) Dates may retrogress starting Sept 1st also and we will have a better idea by end of this week as the new bulletin is expected by that time.
2) you will get your EAD irrespective of the your PD is current or not. To be clear if for example dates retrogress starting Sept 1st then also you will get your EAD & AP.
3) normally it takes 45 calendar days to get your EAD and AP or max 2 months. so ideally you shall have it by end of September.
4) If you are lucky you may get your GC by end of September but definitely sometime in mid of 2014.
Hope this helps.
Is there any negative impact if we went through the congressman route at this point on pending 485 case. My congressman's office is ready to help right away as I contacted them yesterday to check.
Not sure whats wrong with TSC, second straight day of almost no approvals, very disappointing!
Thanks R6 for the reply. Any answer of

there is some moment approvals from Nebraska in trackitt. None from Texas. I am feeling like going down further by every minute ..its just horrible to picture myself missing the boat one more time with PD 2007Quote:

Kumar - if your case is EB2I 2007 with no quirks and a normal employer - then this is your year. I have no doubt about it.
Good luck!Quote:

Everyone needs to calm down about rate of approvals, service centers, etc. it's the 6th of August. There's almost 2 months left to get approved. Have faith in the macro calculations that everyone has relied on up to this point.
Remember this - your case is unique. The outcome of some other case does not affect the outcome of your case - at least not this early in the period.

It is physically impossible to approve that number in a few days. The lack of an approval at this stage is nothing in particular to worry about.
At this stage, even slower TSC approvals should not be a concern, even if it is disappointing. They may have a different strategy and be the tortoise that overtakes the hare.
Good luck to everybody Current in August and hoping to be in September.
What is your opinion on that June 2008 card production claim - Trackitt - Genuine post upon USCIS's mistake or OP's efforts to attract attention ?Quote:

I don't get the sense that the person is lying in any way. I wouldn't want to be in their situation. In another recent case, the person returned the GC that was approved in error.

My Question is that why in the heaven do I bother whether the PD is current or not at the time of my approval ? I have an approved Immigrant Visa, requested USCIS to grant me PR- card, I am granted !
Am I wrong?

Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions here but rate of processing at TSC tells me that dates are going to move Apr/May 08 easily. The rationale behind is that owing to RFE's issued the adjudicators dont know if its a valid case until they review the documents. Hence by the time the September bulletin comes out the RFE cases might not be reviewed. So the in order to avoid wastage the CO might move the dates out further than he has numbers for. This means that people might get left behind again.
Seems like a classic case where too much knowledge can be dangerous! There's a lot of us that try and educate ourselves about priority dates, movement patterns and the like - when when vast majority dont care. They are told by their employers that they will be sponsored for permanent residence, provide what the lawyers ask for and - one day - receive their green cards in the mail. In truth, they are oblivious to PERMs and I-140s and 485s and priority dates and cutoff dates! If one of them got their visas in error (when their date was not current) they would not know and probably would never find out; they use it and enjoy it (and if/when someone asks, they honestly wont know) - whereas someone knowledgeable in the process works themselves to paranoia and returns their GC... the irony!Quote:

I feel bad for him for no fault of his he has to undergo so much heartburn.He doesn't know if he needs to feel happy or sad due to this whole approval process when dates are not current..
Are we sure this is a GC and not an EAD card? I apologize if this is a dumb question but I didn't actually go to trackitQuote:

Understand that USCIS has upto 60 days to review and adjudicate the RFE response cases, so would it be fair to say that a bulk of the mass RFE applications @ TSC should be getting adjudicated in the second of half of August? (since most of the TSC folks responded to their June 14th RFEs between mid to late June time frame and will be reaching the end of the 60 day window starting August 15th onwards)
So the hope is that TSC is currently busy working on these RFE response cases and hence less approvals at the moment but as we pass the Aug 15th mark, we should start to see them churning out more approvals (if not mass approvals)?....what do others think?
yeah vizcard that is now the million $ question..is it GC or EAD and i think even he is panicking so we need to wait till 8th Aug when he updates everyone again.

The difference in the number of visas required between a Cut Off Date of say 01APR08 and the 01JUL08 required to cover the reported June 30, 2008 PD approval is about 4.5k.
It's possible if EB1 come in quite low and EB2-WW stall, but 4.5k as a % of expected numbers is quite a high %.
strange are the ways of uscis...just like any govt. org. no logic for anything they do :)
She will become out of status once they reject your I485 application and rejecting your I485 application may take some time. If it ever happens that you have to leave your employer before 180 days than make sure that your wife should be on H4 while you are on H1, i guess this will be the safest approach. This is my understanding of the law.Quote:

Again that's assuming all prior backlog is cleared. If we go at a 80% approval rating of backlog (totally made up), you need 3.6k.Quote:

Even 3.6k is a significant number and %.
A little summary of where the August approvals are currently (which will immediately out of date). It's, as usual, based on primary applicants who have updated the Trackitt I-485 tracker with the approval.
Total to date - 87
Aug 1 -- 17
Aug 2 -- 21
Aug 3 -- 10
Aug 4 --- 0
Aug 5 -- 22
Aug 6 -- 17
Total -- 87
Service Center
Nebraska -- 55 -- 63.22%
Texas ----- 31 -- 35.63%
California - 1 --- 1.15%
Vermont ---- 0 --- 0.00%
Total ----- 87 - 100.00%
Priority Date
PD ---- EB2 -- EB3 -- Total
2003 ---- 0 ---- 0 ------ 0
2004 ---- 8 ---- 1 ------ 9
2005 --- 11 ---- 3 ----- 14
2006 --- 20 ---- 2 ----- 22
2007 --- 42 ---- 0 ----- 42
Total -- 81 ---- 6 ----- 87
Pre 2007 PD - 45 -- 51.72%
2007 PD ----- 42 -- 48.28%
Total ------- 87 - 100.00%
I'm not convinced that any particular pattern for the whole month has been set yet.
Thanks Spec ! Nice summary...
