The American Immigration Lawyers Association has just released the minutes of a meeting held with CIS Service Center Operations. Some of the highlights of that meeting include:

Quote:
Note: USCIS had previously asked the public to wait until 4-30-08 before sending inquiries on adjustments affected by this memo. That has since been changed to 3-30-08. AILA will notify it members.

At the Service Centers, there are approximately 10,000 I-485 applications that are awaiting name checks only. We estimate that over the next 3 months an additional 15,000 cases will fit into this category as well.

In an answer to a question about expired fingerprint checks, the CIS replied:

Quote:
Yes, if the fingerprint results have expired, the applicant will need to have new fingerprints taken. Those new fingerprints usually clear within a week or so. USCIS will check with the ASCs to make sure that there is an efficient process and that significant delays do not occur with scheduling these applicants for new biometrics. USCIS will get back to AILA with the approximate number of I-485 applications (of the combined 25,000 mentioned above) where the fingerprint results have expired. Also, note that as of July of 2007, the biometrics are stored under a new system and those fingerprints will be able to be "refreshed" so that new ones don't need to be taken in the future.
