very good. Thanks. That means next demand data will show all preadjudicated cases for EB2IC from Texas center. Likely Nebrasca shouldn't be too far behind.Originally Posted by shreyasai2004

I never really understood what that date meant. What does that really mean? Does it mean that ALL cases prior have been adjudicated? coz we know there are other Jan/Feb cases that have been "processed" given the RFEs that we know of.
Q
did you mean demand data? these should already be in the inventory.
Oops. Yes I did. Will correct my post above.

Any takers?

***ALL** would be true as long as you exclude the cases that have issues or are already denied.
Also if they are processing MMYYYY today then MMYYYY - X months where X is the processing time would be grey area. Everything prior should be preadjudicated.

Thanks Q.
I do think that the cases on or before the MMYYYY date have reached some conclusion i.e. no pending RFEs. Otherwise the date would be much further ahead. Kanmani (Feb filer), for example, already had her RFE. There are other Jan filers who are already greened. In any case, this does not jive with the statement below from the Instructions related to processing time.
However, if that office is taking longer than our processing goal to handle the form type in question, you will see the filing date (e.g., "April 10, 2003") of the last case we processed on the date the website chart was last updated.
yes. so as long as they are within their processing times - generally we could say that there is some grey area around those dates. But everybody prior to grey area should have received a -ve decision an RFE or the case is preadj and nothing has been communicated.

Q / Viz,
I filed on Jan 4th 2012 and have not received any updates other than "Acceptance" email. What should I make of this with respect to the processing time of Jan 12? I am in Texas Service Center ofcourse.
Thanks,
Thanks kd,
Increase in I-140 receipts is consistent with PERM certifications.
Not a Legal advice/opinion, please check with good immigration attorney.
Call up the National Service help desk and check on that. If that's not helpful, get an Infopass appointment to meet a USCIS officer in person.
kd,
There is something screwy with the I-485 Pre-adjudicated numbers and Pending numbers.
All the historical Pre-adjudicated figures have changed, but the figures reported for May are the same as the figure reported for April when that was updated. March becomes April etc. The Pending figure then gets changed because it appears to be derived by Pending = A Total Pending & Preadjudicated Figure minus Preadjudicated as the sums of the two haven't changed.
When the April figures were released, Pending (NSC&TSC) = 90,876 and Pre-adjudicated (NSC&TSC) = 87,950 - Total = 178,826
Now the April figure says, Pending (NSC&TSC) = 96,370 and Pre-adjudicated (NSC&TSC) = 82,456 - Total = 178,826
The May figure for preadjudicated also shows as 87,950. That is too much of a coincidence when the figures have all stepped one month out of line. The Total for May is 172,834.
I think it is a mistake, which I hope gets corrected next month, but it's a shame when we have been waiting for the data.

That is odd. But did you see the update on USCIS about their leap month?
I got this information form USCIS for my SR
Thank you for contacting our office regarding the status of your application. USCIS is committed to oversee lawful immigration to the United States of America. Issues may come up that can delay the processing of cases such as security checks, priority dates and visa availability. Security checks on each case have to be complete and all documentary and eligibility requirements have to be met. Your application is pending, awaiting final review and/or visa allocation. Please note that USCIS does not set priority dates nor does it control the issuance of visas. This function is controlled by the Department of State (DOS). You may check priority dates and visa availability at www.travel.state.gov. There is no further information we can give you regarding the status of your case
what is that meaning is my case is pre-adjudicated or ??
They basically said a lot but didn't saying anything. This is a very generic response.
Hi Guys,
I recently came back to US from India trip and i used my EAD/AP card to enter US, My I-94 was stamped as parole. My H1 is still valid until Mar 2012 but i didn't go for stamping and entered US on AP.
Now my HR asked to reverify myself after the reentry to US. They looked my original EAD/AP card,I-94 etc and took the copies. I asked them whether i need to fill new I-9 form with EAD information they said no. I asked them whether i am in EAD or H1 status now ,they said your most current verification document is the status you are in.
I am little confused here, want to know whether i am in EAD or H1. I or My HR didn't filled new I-9 from is that means i am still in H1 or status automatically changes to EAD? I am working for same company before the trip.Gurus, please advise.
EB2Jun08,
Although, after entering the USA using AP, you are a Parolee and therefore not in H1B status, the Cronin Memo says that, if you enter the USA using AP, failing to use the EAD will not be considered Unauthorized Employment, if
You were in H1B status prior to departing the USA.
The H1B approval has not expired, and
You return to work only for the H1B sponsoring Employer.
Your HR is correct that you are a Parolee, but the I-9 does not need to be updated.

Hi guys,
I have a similar question. Few months ago my spouse received EAD/AP combo card after filing for dependent I-485. She was in F-1 status at the time and had 20 hours/week assistantship. After receiving EAD, she did not report it to school and continued to be on I-20 (international student status). Last week, she received a new I-20 with some graduate program level minor updates. She still continues to work as an international student and receives assistantship from the school. My question is whether her student status is valid? Can she continue to be in student status and not use EAD? Or should we have reported her EAD status to her school? Other question is, will there be any problem with her future EAD renewal because of this?
Note- There is no travel involved in this case and AP was never used.

EB2Jun08 & Spec,
This is what I received from my attorney when I asked about re-entering using AP : "We typically advise that if you plan to travel on the Advance Parole, then you should be working on the EAD, not the H-1B. This is because when you re-enter the US on an AP, you are being paroled into the US. You are not being admitted in H-1B status. You could at that point start using the EAD as the basis of your work authorization (having the company update the I-9 in the process) and keep the H-1B as back up in case anything should go wrong with your permanent residency case.".
Thanks Guys for the detailed explanation.
I thought I will let people know of what is happening in some cases and also I would like some expert opinion on my case. I am the primary EB2)
I filed for my and wife's 485, AP and EAD. Everything was fine in my wife's case. We did our finger printing on the last week of Mar
1. I got my ead card in the last week of March but had my wife's photo
2. We called USCIS and they asked us to file for 485 alone, which we did in the first week of April along with the original EAD
3. I got an RFE in the 3rd of June to return my EAD card. We responded saying that we returned it.
4. I got my second EAD card on 1st week of July but it did not have my AP details(it is not a combo card).
5. My AP(131) is approved but I have not received my approval notice
I took an infopass appointment where they acknowledged their issue and they gave supervisor's address. They are asking me to send a letter explaining my case and also send the original(second) EAD card.
My questions - is it safe to send my EAD card without any applications(131 or 765). Have anyone faced this issue before.
Do I have any other options to expedite my EAD card?
Thanks for your help
Sorry to post my issue in this thread. Please move it to other thread if it is inappropriate.

Seems like the text-book definition of cluster f*#k
Don't see any issue (or an alternative, to be honest). Just make sure you scan / photocopy the card for your records, use certified mail to send the card (and keep the receipts to prove that you sent it to them). Also, i'd keep the details from your infopass appointment (officers name, badge number, date and time of appointment, etc) for your records.
I don't see any. You can always reach out to your congressman but I think that's overkill at this stage.
One of us will move it to the I485 thread after you've had some visibility here.

Pedro,
Thanks for your response. I have done most of what you said. Looks like I have no options at this point in time.
