    I suspect the truth is that either the PD is incorrect, or it is CC to the spouse Country of Chargeability.

    Hello All,

    I'm a new user. My priority date is Oct 2007. Received RFE and replied on July 2013. The status is still "Request for Evidence Response Review". Any idea when my application will get picked up for processing? I see that lot of applicants are getting approved however there is no pattern in which they process the application. 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.

    I have been using historical numbers, but they may no longer hold.

    Until now, most approvals have been from the "old school" Trackitt users who initially filed in 2007 and put their case on Trackitt a long time ago. The numbers that don't update their cases is reasonably well known.

    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.

    Getting a legislature's(Senator/congressman) letter not from your state be helpful? or do you need letters from your state and/or district?

    viz, I completely agree. I am in the same boat. My date will become current in September, and will likely have only that month to possibly get approved before dates retrogress (externally or internally). So depending on how things go, I will certainly consider all options. Worst case, if I miss the boat this time, I don't want to have regrets about not trying everything I could.

    Also, to your point, when can we ask for an L2? Is it only when we open an SR over the phone, or can we ask for an L2 during an Infopass as well?

    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.

    If you are lucky enough to have your Sentor/Congressman on any relevant Committee (immigration, homeland security, judiciary), use them to the fullest extent possible.

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

    Others who have gone through the process may be able to help better.

    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.

    Posted by ei1996 (9) 17 hours 20 minutes ago

    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 ?

    Dear friends, with great happiness , I want to share that I received the MAGIC message from USCIS this afternoon.

    " On August 20, 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."

    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.

    Congrats Eb2_Dec07, I was especially rooting for you and hoping there wouldn't be a delay because of your TSC to NSC transfer for selfish reasons.

    Is Indiani the only one EB2I on our forum current in August still waiting for his GC?
