Congrats!.. and stop by the forum once in a while

No approvals from TSC even though NSC is picking up the pace, strange things always appear to happen at CIS as its the most "opaque" system which is supposed to be other way around.

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?

Approvals from TSC will start coming after September bulletin is released as almost all RFE were issued to TSC applicants rights!. Let us see if my prediction is correct.
Till then relax.

Gurus, I have sent my I-485 application on Aug 1st to Phoenix lockbox. My priority date is Sept 1st 2006 in EB2. I went to India and lived there for 5 years, so I missed 2010 I-485 filing

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.

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.

[natvyas]

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???

Hi,

First of all welcome back and wish you good luck. Here is the response based on my learning and others may correct it.

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.

[longwait100]

Not sure whats wrong with TSC, second straight day of almost no approvals, very disappointing!

[primus]

Thanks R6 for the reply. Any answer of

If I leave my sponsoring company or company itself lay me off within 180 days before pending my i-485, will nullify my wife's EAD?

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 2007

[mannyt]

I think TSC/NSC are concentrating their efforts in counting applicants to build up demand data rather then focus on sending out approvals ?

[qesehmk]

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!

Jul 2007 should've been approved long back. You really need to take help from your congressman / senator.

p.s. - I am sorry. Didn't mean to scare you. Just saying that it would only help your case. Can't hurt.
