@N G just received an information from one of an applicant that his fee got deducted for his AOS packet.
N GMay 5, 2023
@JSS SS interesting. What's this applicant's priority date? What E-B category did he file under?
JSS SSMay 11, 2023
@N G His PD was Jan 2023. EB4 Religious worker.
N GMay 11, 2023
Impossible. Extremely rare for that to happen.
JSS SSMay 11, 2023
@N G I am in touch with an Attorney who has sent 2 more AOS packets. Lets see what happens.
milad farhoudMay 11, 2023
@JSS SS what does that mean
JSS SSMay 25, 2023
@N G 2 more cases were sent to USCIS for AOS. Fee got deducted and receipt notices received. Just got the update today from an attorney. PD for I-360 Sep 2022.
N GMay 26, 2023
@JSS SS Oh wow. That's odd. One could only wish they are issuing green cards with the same energy.

Hi @N G , thank you for all information you give us here. :) I have a question for you. My last status on my I-485 (Religious worker based) is “Response to USCIS’ request for evidence was received” on April 27. I have not received any permissions yet.. no work permit or travel permit. If they are still working on my case, do you believe that when this process gets approved, I could also get the permissions? I am Brazilian waiting for response in the US.
N GMay 29, 2023
You'll probably get approved for the work permit and AP soon. However, you'll prolly have a longer wait for the GC

For people who are affected by the EB retrogressions, let's urge USCIS to resume releasing the "EB 485 pending report" which can tell us the number of people waiting in line before our PD and estimate the wait time. Btw they released for 10 years but stopped in 2018, so it's not hard for them to produce it, I filed FOIA request and commented on the USCIS data page (https://www.uscis.gov/tools/reports-and-studies/immigration-and-citizenship-data) many times to ask for this. The more people ask for this, the more likely USCIS will take this seriously and release it.
