No approval...

Let’s go over some facts here….

Most of the March petitions were transferred to CSC on 6/1 and CSC acknowledged their receipt of them on 6/14. I mailed mine in to NSC on 5/30 and was promptly transferred to CSC. CSC acknowledged receipt of my petition on 6/9.

Do you suppose any adjudication was done on the March petitions prior to the transfer? Highly unlikely…

That being said and if the theory of adjudication being done according to IMBRA RFE received date is true, then why have I not received an approval yet? It makes absolutely no sense at all.

Theoretically, mine should have been approved in the first batch of approvals being issued in late July. Does this not make sense???

Most of the late May applicants have similar timelines with regards to early transfers to CSC and many were approved on 7/31 if not before….

Unfortunately, the NOA-1 date is irrelevant at this point.

May and June approvals are falling from the woodwork.

It appears to follow RFE return dates instead. You should be approved at any time.

Theoretically, William and I should have received our IMBRA RFES in the first batch in June. Then we would have been in the first batch of approvals.

Theory has nothing to do with it at this point. There is no rhyme or reason, no logic, no justice and no explanation. I'm sorry I have can offer no help to you as I am a MARCH applicant and I am still waiting.

According to my congressman, right wrong or indifferent that is exactly what is happening. They are using the RFE receipt date as their priority date.

Now what is really wrong with what has happened, is that they did not send out the RFEs in order of NOA1 dates. I dont know of anyone who has been able to answer how they determined the order of priority on that one. Even my congressman did not have answer for that.

Even when they were going strictly by NOA1 dates, it didnt mean that because your NOA1 was earlier than someone else that you would be approved first. However it did mean that rarely would someone be approved 3 months ahead of the rest of the crowd.

Believe me I know how frustrating this whole mess is, just got our NOA2 this weekend and we were with the first batch of RFEs.

If it is any consolation, my congressman is still waiting an answer as to why the RFEs were sent out the way they were. If and when I get an answer I will pass it on to you all.

Who knows?

Just when I had started adjusting to the RFE processing date, I now am starting to see people with much later RFE received dates getting approved before people - like you Gary - with earlier received dates. Not that I begrudge anyone an approval! I just thought I was seeing some semblance of order there for a second. ~sigh~

I think they just tossed all our petitions in a big bin and shook them up. Now they are just taking them out in whatever order they come out in. Mine went to the bottom of the bin along with the others waiting from march.
