Has anyone got the rescheduled biometrics notice for the office closed dates of Jan 19th and 20th? Mine was initially scheduled for 19th but the office was closed. Called USCIS and they told to wait for 2 weeks to receive a rescheduled notice.

Now only if someone with EB3 -I Nov 2010 also receives an RFE you would be onto some trend . I will let you know as soon as I get an RFEQuote:

I think I will take a Hariyali Kabab :-)Quote:

well. 4-5 months will pass by in a jiffy by June 2021 we should be knowing if eggs are hatching are not..hope so they will hatch. 120 K spillover is once in a lifetime never happened before and might not happen before aswell from FB to EB. if this 120k doesnt help us, then we need divine intervention to change GC country cap limits removal.
Just Keep praying!! Just like Gabba fortress is breached, we can Breach our Immgration backlogs!!
Been current since November 2020 with Sep 2009 PD. No RFE so far and last RFE was back in 2016.Quote:

I am asking because many people will be in same situation sooner or later.
2009 are out of equation they are bound to get GC sooner or later!! we are only talking abt 2010 eb2 eb3
you are guaranteed to receive GC with 120K spillover
Raised an SR and got standard response that they are reviewing the case and should hear from them in 90 days. In the meanwhile, I had to renew my combo card and got its approval last month.Quote:

Okay.. I have heard (no first hand experience) that contacting local representative offices sometime helps. May be worth exploring that option.Quote:

Discussing RFE
I read in trackitt back in December, apperson with march 2013 eb3 got rfe for medicals
He already received ead and ap, applied on oct 2020 and PD 2010 is still waiting for receipt
Lol
Unfortunately they do not process the applications according to PDs .. they process FIFO ( read random in the lot received in the month)Quote:

Looks like USCIS approved a total of 121,890 applications last year. Looks like Consular processing was around 15,283. So total approval = 137173. Wasting a total of 18,800 GCs as the total allocation for last year was 156,000.(Am I reading this right?)
Past reports:
Q1: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/...y2020_qtr1.pdf
Q2: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/...y2020_qtr2.pdf
Q3: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/...y2020_qtr3.pdf
Thanks man. I will definitely set-up those reminders. But for now, we also plan to renew our H1Bs....More revenue of attorneys and USCIS (the outcome everyone else wants) ;)Quote:

But to write them off completely, is a big mistake too. Let's take the middle ground, even if the PD moves to Sep-2010 and not Dec-2010, what's there to lose and feel its all gloom and doom. A year ago we were saying 2010 will take 7 years to clear and even to file?? My 2 cents here is no prediction no matter how outrageously optimistic or pathetically pessimistic can be correct entirely because USCIS has never been transparent. Truth is always somewhere in the middle but I'm more hopeful now because this admin. is sure to crack the whip on bringing back agency efficiencies. So even if 65% of SO is used actually, we are talking about significant movement in Q4 and that's based on data.Quote:

As others said, USCIS ki leela is only known to USCIS and there is usually no rhyme or reason, so hoping things move forward in the next few months.
The only thing that brings hope to me is the USCIS projection of very minimal movement. They somehow seem to mix up between rapid and very little movement. It's usually the reverse of what they say ends up happening. And we had to take English proficiency tests like TOEFL to prove our English speaking skills. ;)Quote:

For people who have changed jobs recently, and need to restart their PERM process, does anyone envision any improvement in performance of PERM processing ?
Looks like they are taking 7-8+ months, and overall including prevailing wage etc it might take a year or more.
I sincerely hope this route gets faster with Biden admin.
Thoughts ?
I'm March 30th 2010 and I haven't gotten any RFE. On EAD since 2012.Quote:

This is exactly what we saw in terms of movement since september of last year.Quote:

So its reasonable to expect pace of movement to pick up significantly in the 3rd or 4th quarter.
Based purely on Trackitt data (and comparing it to last quarter of 2020's trackitt data and eventual real approvals), USCIS has approved a total of 30,000 I-485 applications in the last 4 months.
Has anyone come across this? What does this even means?

Don't believe this concerns people seeking EAD as part of an I-485 for EB. This could be addressing people seeking asylum (https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/...rt-a-chapter-5).Quote:

Till May 2010 the pending inventory from October 2009 should be around 7000. 9 years out, we are yet to reach that point.Quote:

I did get an RFE for EAD renewal this year (they didn't like the pics we submitted). Somehow, that resulted in a 1 year EAD versus 2 year, which means I have to apply for renewal again next month.
USCIS started transferring pending 485 applications to local offices to adjudicate in timely fashion -- update by Immigration lawyer Robert weber in Linkedin
Good to hear. Link : https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobwebber
so far i have not seen any data so far on pending EB1I applications for 2019. Given the lack of data, i am not in a position to conclusively say if the horizontal spillover has been applied or not for EB1I. If someone has i-140 data for EB1 for 2019, the that would likely give us a clue to comment on this.Quote:

The reason for aggressive movement in EB1 could be because they do not have many cases with approved I-140s with a pending 485 application where they can apply the available visa number. Anyone in EB1-I with priority dates past 09/30/18 was only allowed to file for 485 for the first time in Oct 2020 bulletin. The I140s for the EB1 petitions tend to take closer to a year if not more to adjudicate. Plus there is no premium processing available for expediting I140 processing for EB1C applications. My bet is they DO NOT have approved cases to use up the numbers in EB1 and so they are running up the dates to find any applications (EB1A/EB1B where premium processing is allowed). Gurus what do you think about the scenario I laid out? If this is true it could lead to a huge vertical spillover to EB2. But again, they need to be used and not wasted by USCIS, so that's that.Quote:

This also begs the question - why did EB2I filing date move only one year compared multi year jump in EB3I - when EB2I would be the beneficiaries of any vertical spillover that may happen.
