Post 485-Filing

[codesmith]

Congrats once again Veni!! This air travel is killing me. I am not current on world news!!

Wish you the very best post GC.

Congratulations Veni !!

Does this mean that now USCIS/DOS has much more demand and we should see actual demand in next bulletin ?
Would GC be handed out till the end of sep 2012 or can it halt in between ?

All of them are PWMB guys.

It makes perfect sense because October VB date was 7/15/2007. There is no way that they can approve the PD after 7/15/2007 yet.

November VB date was 11/1/2007. I believe we will see some approvals of the guys with PD between 7/15/2007-11/1/2007 after several days.

Thanks QBF!

[gchopeful123]

That wud be great, but provided they have enough QSP numbers to allocate for ppl between 7/15/2007 and 11/1/2007, correct?

Does anyone have any idea on what the demand is between 7/15/2007 and 11/1/2007? and how many QSP numbers are expected this quarter. This might give us an idea on our wait time, just a thought...

BTW, recent news, a Nov 2011 NSC applicant (within Trackitt) got his/her 485 approval with a PD date of 7/31/2007

I believe you will be green soon!

One Chinese guy got approval in 2 months. That's how quick it is now!

You submitted 485 in Dec. 1st, right? I believe you will get GC in Feb!

This is probably off topic and does not belong on this forum..My apologies for sidetracking the conversation..

A friend told me that his Perm application (in Washington D.C. area) has been pending since Sept. 2011 because of delays in Prevailing Wage Determination. I am sure that there are no discrepancies in his application. He is a full-time employee of a mid-sized company and he is definitely making 100K+. I am not sure if there are any administrative delays.

Is anyone else aware about any DOL related delays?

Nishant & others:

I went in for the FP today (early walk-in). Based on my understanding from my experience if you receive only 485 on the FP notice ( and there is no mention of 765) you should still be good. They did code 2 and code 3.

Thanks Nishant. You might be right, finger prints for 485 should siffice (logically) for 765 too. I will have the finger prints done for 485.

cool, yeah, anyone I know of personally who got FP notice, has only got for 485. theoretically, after FP, whenever file is with IO, it can be adjudicated anytime.

I got the following stats by querying trackitt based on RD. These are only for primary & EB2I. Assuming pre-July cases all got approved. I am not sure how to factor the other variables(like folks who didn't update tracker with their cases, dependents, portings etc). Probably GURUs can help us.
=========================================
Cases Pending from July - Sep : 64 (TSc:45 + NSC:19)
Cases Pending from Just October : 89 (TSc:73 + NSC:16)
Cases pending from Just November: 271 (TSc:162 + NSC:109)

Actually, there is one case on trackitt, username "stadala", whose PD is July 31 2007. Filed in November and I-485 is approved. Approved on Jan 9. Total time to get GC: 69 days. NSC, EB2, dependant.

[Pdmar08]

After speaking to my wife's lawyer we decided against filing 485 again based on her approved 140. However her receipt for 485 filed as my dependent has my PD. So I guess it should be okay. Still waiting on EAD/AP for both from NSC even though we filed on 15 Nov,2011.

OK thanks. So it does need to be tagged to the proper primary applicant.
I have asked my lawyer to update me if they were able to talk to USCIS. lets see what they say.

Dependents(whose primary's GC already approved) cases processed on fast track so this should not be considered as a regular Nov filing case. There are a few other category Nov filers like EB1/ROW/CC got approvals but I don't think they actually touched any regular EB2I cases filed in November.

Oh, I see! I didn't know that

red2green,
Your PD is 07/31/2007 I guess we will have to keep you on our radar. Once you go from red 2 green, the rest of us (after Jul) will follow....

sure-. I think Teddy's PD is July 24th. a week ahead of me. Lets keep him on our radar too.

just noticed you are a NSCer. you don't have to keep radar on TSCer. You will get greened before me-

[whereismygclost]

Finally got EAD approval emails for both me and my wife yesterday night around 9PM PST! NSC Service Center RD : 14NOV2011 ND :25NOV2011 FP : 9JAN2012 (San Jose,CA,ASC)

OK thanks. So it does need to be tagged to the proper primary applicant.

Guys (I assume) thanks for keeping me on the radar! Thus far the approvals in Jan 2012 have been impressive. For all categories except for EB2 I/C some Nov filers have also been approved, the case for stadala is not a clean one its dependent only. Hopefully our turn will come soon. TSC is also doing well now more than PD looks like they are going by RD right now the approvals are mostly confined to early Oct RD's. Our turn will come soon, the quarterly spillover / current allocation is really good. There are many older filers from Feb to Jul 2011 who are still waiting so there is still a lot of ground to cover. Nov filers is a much larger group than Oct. Good luck to everyone.
Here are my details.
TSC - RD - 11/02/2011, ND - 11/07/2011, PD - 07/24/2007, FP- 11/25/2011, EAD/AP- 12/22/20011

Teddy, whats your take on next months Visa bulletin? Do you think Nov filers are huge and will reflect in DD and will stop, or it surges into 2010?

Teddy, before July'2011 filers are with PD in 2006. Do you think a lot of them still waiting ?

bieber,

Thank you

[leo07]

Enjoy your freedom!!!

Just received magic e-mail for my 485 case status changed to Card/ Document Production, waiting on spouse 485 case status to change.

Interestingly, my delayed EAD-AP card arrived in the mail today (40 days after approval), can't even enjoy it for a day!.

Teddy, Nishanth to follow and i wish all the best to those already filed and the others waiting to file their AOS.

Next month bulletin could also really go either way. Following are some points -
Positive Forces
- Some people have posted that their attorneys are still positive about EB2 I/C movement, the news / rumors from them has thus far been quite accurate, hope this trend continues.
- Nov filings are still not adjudicated as we have not seen any evidence of Nov filers approvals or EB2 I/C. DOS is going by their demand data a case will be reported here only if is documentarily qualified.
- Taking new intake is purely discretionary and does not violate any laws and may therefore continue. It helps to give clarity on the actual demand.
Negative Forces
- Trackitt approvals have been quite good for EB2 I/C this may indicate a consumption of atleast 12K.
- The approvals for EB2 I/C still lag behind all other categories this may indicate a lack of sanctioned numbers.
- The rate of approvals for EB1 are higher than last year and EB2 ROW is picking up this may hurt SOFAD for this year.
Overall next bulletin can also go either way, the onus is really on USCIS.

[TeddyKoochu]

Teddy, before July'2011 filers are with PD in 2006. Do you think a lot of them still waiting ?

The demand data showed 8.5K, while the inventory showed 14K before Jul 2007. Probably the truth could be around 11K, additionally we have 2K PWMB's. There are several people on Trackitt who have applied in May - Jul (PWMB) and still waiting and porting is coming by constantly. This could account for 1-2K cases and these folks may take precedence. Otherwise the line is clear for next month. It will be really interesting to see the remainder of this month if there are any approvals for Nov filers, I hope there is some start then traction can build up.

[Spectator]

Trackitt is down again.

They desperately need that additional server.
