* Lose 500-1000 applications.
* Transfer about 500-1000 applications to the wrong office
* Send out pointless RFEs to thousands of cases that can be avoided

What I am trying to say is that it all depends on which part of the USCIS process your case happens to fall under. If it falls under the hardworking side you are good to go. If it falls under the category I am in, it is hard to think of anything good to say about this agency.

7000 GC per day ... does that mean the majority of the population do not visit this forum ...

There are just one or two GC per week in this forum.

Hmm ...

Why don't we come into this category of 7000 GC per day? or when we will come in this category.
 
Long wait.

All immigration gurus say that --- for EB3 from retro affected countries ... its a very very long wait --- some say few years.

Someone rightly suggested that -- EB3 should stop asking for faster GC processing ... instead ask for increasing the validity period for EAD.

If you are outside this group --- U will come into the manifold of 7000 GC per day soon.



Good luck.
 
USCIS and following words are really contradicting for most of us in this forum:

Conduct.....
Receive.....
Answer.....
Process.....
Answer in-person.....
Issue.....
Welcome.....
Help.....
Grant.....
Naturalize.....

And the last one should really be : "USCIS is relaxing...so work hard."

Yes.. thats correct.

The worldwide quota for immigrant visas is 675,000 visas per fiscal year.
( Family Based 480,000 + Employment Based 140000 + Ethnic Diversity 55000).

But some guys like immediate relatives of US citizens & refugees are not counted against 675,000.

say -- there are 50,000 refugees (200 every day = 200 * 250)
Say another 150,000 of immediate relatives of US citizens plus others

Say the working days per year at Service centers are 250.

so 875,000/250 = 3500 -- are the new GC per day.

:( [But compare that with 2 approvals per week for the forum members] :(
