How to interpret USCIS receipting notices

[alien4life]

Guys, USCIS posted this receipting update on July 20 - http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrele...mes20Jul07.pdf.

It says that receipting for I-485 at the NSC will be in compliance by 8/1/2007. What does that mean? Does it mean all I-485s filed till now will get receipts by 8/1?

Only if they stay at NSC. For case either transfered to TSC or filed at TSC will take 10/26/2007 for receipting--look at that TSC I-485 EB date!

Nice find!!


USCIS is making every effort to address the delay in its data entry and fee receipting process. The prioritization of data entry for specific form-types was a proactive measure on the part of Service Centers to address the unprecedented level of H-1B filings received on April 2nd and 3rd, 2007, as well as the unprecedented level of filings for other immigration benefits. USCIS would like to assure its customers that the delay in data entry and fee receipting will not affect Change of Status or Extension of Stay eligibility, assuming all other eligibility requirements are satisfied. USCIS would also like to assure its customers that per existing policies and procedures, requests for Premium Processing Service will continue to be processed within 15 days. USCIS wishes to assure all customers that the original received date (the date which the document is date stamped) will be honored and recorded on the receipt notice. This date will appear in the "Received Date" box on Form I-797, Notice of Action. The received date is different from the "Notice Date", which also appears on Form I-797. The Notice Date is the date the receipt notice was actually generated.
