Hello,
I got my GC last year 2004 dec, actually my priority date is July 2001.
I filed my family's (wife and daughter) I-485 in Oct'2004,and waiting for the approval.
last month the 'Processing cases with Receipt Notice Date' was Aug 19' 2004 and last week it changed to Sep'23 2004 for I-485 cases.
mont
My Family I -485 Notice Date is Oct 15' 2004.
I'm now confused with these 'Priority dates' concepts/rules.
As Per the info I gathered from people follows:
your dependents still use your priority date of 2001. But since at
the time when the visa was still available, the USCIS is not ready to
approve the case because they go by the date of filing of I-485 to
review each case. But now if they are ready to review the I-485
application, there is no more visa for the approval, and they will put
the I-485 application pending until there is visa availability again for
them.
But I don't understand what is this visa availablity???

EB3 Skilled / Professional Workers
For EB3 skilled / professional workers, if there is a silver lining to this dark cloud, it is that the visa numbers are no longer "unavailable." However, the cutoff dates are established so far back in time that, for many, the numbers may as well be unavailable.
For nationals from India, the cutoff date in EB3 is January 1, 1998. In order to file for adjustment of status to permanent residence or to complete a consular processing case to obtain the immigrant visa, that person's priority date must be before January 1, 1998.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I appreciate if anyone can let me know will my family is near to the 485 approval,since they filed in Oct 2004 and now the recepit date is Sep'2004 currently running.
is these dates are valid for people who applied based on EB3 ??? si anyone in the similar situation ??????
Thanks in advance...
Ravi.
