I am sure there are many in general. But on this forum is there anyone in 2009, 2010 still waiting for GC? My PD is Nov 2010, EB2. I am not sure what to make out of this latest VB and when I will be getting my GC. I had enough of this roller coaster! I want to get off of it!

I am not sure if there are folks here with that date range. There may be, I don?t know but I have a close friend who has Nov 2009 priority date and still waiting. Has been on EAD since 2012 I believe. His case is with the Texas Service Center and been current since March 2021 with no end in sight.

Oh man 2009 and still waiting? That really sucks when people from 2012 and 2013 have been randomly greened

Yes, it sucks. Our common friends had dates from 2011 and 2012(myself included) and got greened during August - September this year. We filed for I-485 only in Oct 2020. He has created SR, followed up with Senators, Congressional Reps everything. I have a feeling USCIS may have lost his petition.

[Noesis]

Just once again feel cheated by the whole system: employers, lawyers, USCIS and politicians. It almost feels like they are all working together to make sure that we remain shackled and dependent on these prison walls (plugging a shawshank redemption quote : "These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. Enough time passes, you get so you depend on them. That's institutionalized.").

My story is probably not unique and there are thousand others like me who came so close to getting adjudicated and now face retrogression. I am talking to my employer to see if they can allow me to file another I-485 EB2 AOS petition while EB3 downgrade is still pending (without withdrawing current petition). My HR manager has probably never dealt with all these tricky plays and any recommendation he makes will scale by thousands so he is not willing to allow me to file EB2 I-485, even though I said I can cover legal fee and you just need to sign the paperwork to allow use of approved EB2 I-140.

Waiting in retrogressed EB3 at Nebraska Service Center is not going to do any good, I can keep filing interfile requests, keep raising SRs, congressional inquiries and USCIS will just shake them off like a dog with bad case of fleas. Feel so hopeless and helpless.

I hear you.! I am in the same boat, same center with PD in December 2012, right when I was thinking that being current for 4 months is a good thing, the dates retrogressed.! I have EB2 i140 approved but I am thinking to stay put for at least another couple of bulletins to see how the dates are moving. With SO not accounted yet for, I am faintly hoping for EB3 to move well into 2013 this Fiscal.. I am equally frustrated but there is nothing much we can do except to hope for this eternal wait to get over..

Any input from Gurus on this would be helpful.

Sep 2010 here; Filed my 485 in May end and waiting.

Was EB2 but started my perm in 2019 as EB3 category, so 485 is filed with EB3

[AceMan]

So far that has been the trend. MSC has been the fastest for folks who had applied for I485 in OCT-NOV 2020. Most of those cases have been for 485 petitions where I-140 was approved quite some time ago. Timeframe to receive GC has been 8-12 months. However, there are still 2020 filed applications with MSC which have not been approved. So although there is a general trend there is no guarantee this will continue.

I can agree with you. Among the group of 15 people who filed in October 2020 only 3 of us are still waiting for the GC including me.

in your group of October 2020 are all 15 straight EB2 I-485 filings or were there some downgrade cases as well?

Last feed taken from USCIS (1,5 month back) still has ~3k 2009 applications from SRC. LIN seems to have few of them.

Only 1 downgrade case TSC, and he is pending with me. All of us are 2010/11 filers. Patiently waiting on, and as an added bonus no EAD/AP for my kid, opened up multiple SR's, no response to any of them, requested for L2 officer connect, was told you will get a call back in 30 days, it is already 20 days. Both my petition and spouses 5 months since RFE response received. SR opened multiple times, request closed with the information, the application is with an officer.

Absolute silence with no action.

[EB2June2010]

I have been patiently waiting as well and my case (straight EB2-I, no upgrade) case is pending with NSC:

That's good to hear! Was your RFE related to medicals? If not, did you submit medicals already or expecting to carry them to the interview when that is scheduled?

Birth certificate for me and Marriage Certificate for my spouse. My original BC did not have my name on it, the marriage certificate was originally included only with my application and not my spouses. I had responded to this back in May.

[EB22010Dec]

My wife does not have BC.
We do not have anyone living in the town she is born anymore.

Can you all let me know what needs t be done here?
I have reached out to my lawyer and will update here once I hear back for future generation's reference.

There are some companies who get the BC for you from India, if you provide fees for their service.

If there is no birth certificate, you need to have both Certificate of Non-availability and secondary evidence.
Secondary evidence will be accepted only if it is submitted together with a Certificate of Non-availability.

Certificates of Non-availability issued by Government Agencies and state that no birth information is available.

In my case, it was an incomplete birth certificate, without my name. I had attorneys mentioning that I should have written my name in Pencil to the certificate.

QQ - Does SRC process EAD's? Both my wife and my EAD applications went to MSC (Receipt Date: Jan 18th 2021). In chatting with a live agent, I am being told that the EAD application was transferred to SRC. Both our cases are almost outside of processing time (per the USCIS processing times listed for MSC).

I cannot find a EAD application processing time (based on a pending I-485 application c(9)) in the drop-down under SRC.
Was the live agent just wrong?
Just FYI - both my wife and my I-485 applications have been transferred to SRC and that's what confused the live agent?

Also out of curiosity when a case is outside normal processing times and a SR is raised, any idea how soon it gets resolved?

[sling10]

Need some advice here.

I filed for my 485 in October 2021 and received the physical receipt notices in the mail yesterday. The Priority Date mentioned on the receipt notice is incorrect. It is mentioned as April 2011 instead of November 2011 which is my actual PD. I have not mentioned the incorrect PD anywhere in the application.

Looks like this is a USCIS typo error to me. Should I raise a SR to get this corrected or leave it alone ? I am just worried that opening up a SR to get this corrected might take it in a different direction and add months to my timeline.

If I don't do anything, will it cause any issues at a later point in time ?

It is unfortunate, and you have to get it corrected. Rest assured you will not have to struggle like many filers in 2020 who had to go through hell, with the limits on filers this should be fast.

I am in the MSC219077XXXX series. Received medical RFE for me and my dependents over the weekend from the local field office. I believe there is a thread on responding to medical RFEs. Would be great if anyone can point to it.

Doesn't make sense to sending the medical packets to lawyers office in a different state for them to respond when the local field office is less than a mile away from me and the whole process could potentially be significantly faster.
