All Aug 2013 485 APPROVALS & DISCUSSION - report here with details

[Jagan01]

I got CPO text notification on my case at 5:30 PM today. Received Email notification around 5:45 PM. Still waiting on my wife's approval. It is still stuck at "RFE Response Review".

All it took was 2 RFEs, 1 SR, Senator & Congressman Inquiry. Now, I'm worried about my wife's case. I opened SR only on my case. I kind of assumed that dependent cases will be bundled along with primary and so didn't bother opening a Service Request. I'll wait until tomorrow and if nothing happens, call USCIS and raise a SR for her case.

Thanks everyone for your well wishes.

Wow.... Congrattts Tackle....

Congratulations!!! Usually if they are together in one file the dependent approval follows shortly in a few minutes to hours.

Congratulations! I told you you'd get your GC this month! I've been waiting for this message from you for a long time. Anyway, your wife will get her's too in the next few day, I'm sure, but do everything in your hand to make it happen.

Tackle, Congratulations to you and good luck to your wife! Yours was probably the one that was long pending without any specific reason and shows how badly the system is messed up. Every time the window was open I was hoping you would get it ...anyway, all is well that ends well.

My wife's I-485 is pending. My case was approved really quick, 30 days. RD = 8/6/2013 Card production email date = 9/6/2013. But my wife's case is still in Acceptance status. I mailed both applications together in a single package via UPS. Got our finger printing notice, EAD& AP Combo card all together except I-485 approval. Since it has not been 4 months (I-485 Processing time) from RD, I am not sure what I can do.


Thanks

Spouse got her CPO email today.
Mine was approved in August with PD of Oct 07.
Spouse received RFE same day for birth certificate.
We got it fixed from www.meeseva.gov.in (State of Andhra Pradesh).

Hope it helps someone who has birth certificate issues.....

Many Congratulations Stemcell on your wife's approval finally the end of a long journey.

Tackle and Stemcell, Congratulations! Enjoy!

Tackle congratulations to you and your family !! Who else is pending on this forum?

I have been waiting for last 68 days with PD Dec 2006 (EB3->EB2). Tried everything from eSR, SR, talking to L2, using congressional inquiry etc. My case has been lying with an officer since Sept 03 2013 (as per response to SR received on 6th Sept 2013) , but no updates since then.

The only good thing is that TSC Congressional Liaison office had asked congresswoman's office to wait for 45-60 days on 26th Aug 2013 and tomorrow 45 days would have passed since their last update, so my congresswoman's office will contact them again. I just hope that USCIS does not run out of visas again (if they decide to use monthly quota ONLY). There is already some chatter on Trackitt that visas for this month are over

To our knowledge, the USCIS has no mechanism for applying monthly quotas. The DoS sets that through the visa bulletins and the USCIS is guided only by quarterly quotas. The vast majority of Eb2I applicants pre-Jun 2008 will get their GCs this month. I suspect that once your congressman's office follows up, you will receive your GC in days.

I hope your words come true . Never thought that this whole approval thing will get pushed to October 2013.

Also, thanks for clarifying that there is no concept of monthly quota as far as USCIS is concerned. The monthly quota makes more sense for DoS while determining CoD.
