Wait 120 Days Before Inquiry on I-485s at NSC Posted Apr 26, 2002 The Nebraska Service Center (NSC) issued a request to the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) on April 23, 2002 regarding the heavy backlog in inquiries on applications for Adjustment of Status (I-485) filed with that Center. NSC has requested that AILA members refrain from using the NSC AILA liaison for inquiries into I-485 employment-based cases until the cases have been pending more than 120 days beyond the stated processing timeframes. Cases in which a child is "aging out" (turning 21) are exempt from this rule. The AILA liaison is a service available to AILA members for resolution of case problems within the various Service Centers. Liaison inquiries are appropriate when there is a problem or an excessive (longer than usual) delay in the processing of a case, after the attorney has first attempted resolution of the issue directly with INS. At the time of this writing, even liaison responses are taking 12 weeks or more. For MurthyBulletin and MurthyDotCom readers with employment-based I-485s at NSC, the current backlog means that great patience is required while awaiting case processing. © The Law Office of Sheela Murthy, P.C.
