I-485
News: AILA Streamline system for pending I-485 and
I-140 petitions
The Texas Service Center has introduced a new email procedure that
which is available to attorneys who are AILA members and allows the
Texas Service Center to identify I-485s and I-140s which have
remained pending beyond TSC processing times posted on USCIS’S
website.
According to the new procedure, which is effective immediately,
I-485s are subject to the new procedure only when an immigrant visa
has been made available, according to the State Department Visa
Bulletin. The new procedure allows submission via email of I-485
cases which are subject to review based on the visa numbers. An
automatic system picks up the cases and determines whether they are
subject to review. If they are, it has some mechanism to prioritize
them and distribute the case to a case worker.
We are members of AILA and can help you expedite your case using
this system. Contact Us for more
information on how to take advantage of this system.
