485 Sufferer, I think you are still not quite clear about my point.
My point is : the people who will send out our FP and the people who
will adjudicate our 485/140/AP/EAD are totally different two different groups of people, the former one is contractor workers, the latter
one is full-time INS employee( enjoy all holidays, vacations , sick
days, personal leaves ) , the former is hourly paid or maybe casely
paid( like if they process 1000 receipts in one month, they got XXX
dollar ), the former group most likely can get overtime pay, so they
can run like clock 24 hours, that\'s why once new mailroom contractor
took over, we\'ve seen the very fast speed to get 485 receipts(mine
was taking 2.5 months while the guys filed one month after me got it
in 1.5 months) , so it\'s not hard to predict they will clear out
mail receipts mess very soon then start working on their FP task which
they delayed for a while.
that\'s my point.
