Another approach: has it been done before?

I recently found this forum and would like to thank you all for the information you've shared here. My wife is in a similar to situation to many of you here, and has waited over three years for a background check (for a green card at this point).

One thing I noticed in some of your posts was the collection of wait times. I really think this is a great idea. In fact, I think that getting this type of information out to the public could wake up a lot of people in the country. I also think that this problem is systemic to the entire Department of Homeland Security.

So here's my idea: to expand upon the collection of processing times, and build a web site dedicated to gathering this type of information for all of DHS, and open it up for the world to see. I've reserved a domain and put up a quick little site describing the idea in more detail:
http://www.dhsreport.org

My question to this group is: does anyone know if this has been attempted before? I wouldn't want to reinvent the wheel here.
 
great idea

When I went through the green card process I used a web site:
http://cptracker.com/

This was a very user friendly site where people could share the processing times for various embassies around the world. I am sure tracking the USC process and in particular the background check etc would be very benefitial for everyone.
 
The processing times are very, very harsh. I've been waiting for over 3 years--no work, no ability to travel, no ability to go to school--, and I'm now 21, I don't know what I did to deserve this.
 
Thanks for the feedback so far

zaraza -- great to have you on board
chills -- I'm with you
brb2 -- thanks, I'm going to email the owner of cptracker.com to let let him know what I'm up to

Please keep the feedback coming in.
