General Updates from the Texas Service Center

June 01st, 2009 | Category: I-140, I-485

Last week we provide a number of updates from the Nebraska Service Center.  This week we provided some updates from the Texas Service Center (“TSC”).  The TSC updates come from the senior management and are as of May 19, 2009.

Processing Numbers.   TSC has shown improvement in the processing numbers.  Previously, TSC was processing between 3,000-4,000 I-140s and concurrent I-140/I-485sper month.  Recently, TSC has improved to 3,500-4,500 such cases per month.  TSC’s goal is to improve the processing of I-140s down to 4 months by June 2009 (this month!).

Pre-processing.  Similarly to the Nebraska Service Center, TSC is pre-processing (or “pre-adjudicating”) I-485s.  TSC reported that they have pre-processed 85,000 I-485s which are in queue for processing and are waiting for a visa number to be available.

July 2007 “tsunami”.  TSC reported that they have “almost completed”  adjudication of I-140s filed during the “visa tsunami” of July and August 2007.
