Seems like Vermont has come to a complete stop - currently, they're quoting July '06 as "latest processing date"
I am royally screwed this time - my GC priority date is current (after 4 years), but my immigration lawyer doesn't want to process my I-485 until I have a new I-94.
HELP!
Has anybody gotten a mail-in extension recently?

I believe you can only submit an I-129 TN 4 months before expiry.
As long as you send the I-129 before current TN expires, you get 240 days of 'pending' status after expiry in order to wait for approval.
Most, though, end up getting a TN at the border if this process delays much more than aa few weeks after current TN expires, since you can't enter with the expired TN (even if your I-129 is pending).

PANIC OVER!
My I-129 was approved on January 18th; the Vermont 'backlog' is now down to a couple of weeks.
My immigration attorney is now preparing all the paperwork for my I-485 - and I am collecting certificates, signing forms, and writing checks for a total of $850.

"I should've snuck across the Rio Grande."
As a followup, the I-129 has been changed and you can now file up to six months before the current I-94 expires. Also we have been getting TNs approved in a week or two sometimes but others take a couple months. We also still have some pending for several months. CIS seems to have forgotten the older cases and moved beyond them.
