SCHEDULED USCIS E-FILING SYSTEM OUTAGE

The USCIS e-Filing System will be temporarily unavailable on Tuesday, September 25, 2007, from 5:00 PM EDT until 7:00 PM EDT for necessary maintenance.

USCIS APPLICATION RECEIPTING UPDATE SHOWS GOOD PROGRESS

The latest USCIS Application Receipting Update released today shows some progress.  The Texas Service Center is processing EB I-485 applications received on 7/29/07.  Meanwhile the Nebraska Service Center maintains its lead and is now processing EB I-485 applications that were filed on 8/9/07.

THE DREAM IS STILL ALIVE

US Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL) introduced the DREAM amendment and has a podcast explaining it on his website. The podcast is on the upper-right hand side of his site.  Call your Senators if you want this amendment to pass.

PROGRESS EXPECTED ON EB RECEIPTING FOR CASES FILED PURSUANT TO THE JULY 2007 VISA BULLETIN

Another weekly Receipting Update should be released to day.  Our office has received receipts through the last week in July for cases filed with the Nebraska Service Center, most of which were transferred to the Texas Service Center.  In an odd twist, some cases were transferred to the Vermont Service Center.  Maybe the USCIS is getting additional service centers involved to move through the high volume of cases.  I will link to the Update once it has been released.
