Backlog or More Denials - MAKE A CHOICE

I have a curious hypothetical question...

If you were granted your wish of reducing the backlog, but the price to pay was that many more denials would be issued, and these denials were not eligible for an appeal, or a "Motion to Reopen", which of the 2 evils would you prefer? Backlog, or Denials? :eek:

Many people have been fighting to reduce the backlog. Every action has a reaction, and the reaction does not necessarily have to benefit you or the ones you are fighting for. The reaction could be grossly negative.

How would you feel if the consequence to this fighting was if CIS's solution to eliminating the backlog was to deny many more cases (without the option to appeal)? In the end the backlog might be reduced to say 6 or even 3 months, but many of those cases that have been waiting for 900+ days could essentially be denied to achieve this end result. Would you still want your wish to be granted at the detriment of these people? :rolleyes:

With the recent memo from USCIS, it seems this may be more of a possibility than previously thought. They will be less forgiving when it comes to missing info and badly organized cases, and more of them will be denied with out the possibility of appeal. This may be one of the steps that USCIS is going to take in their strategy to reduce the backlog.

Please post your opinions.
 
For the result this memo is going to bring, I think it really depends on how the service center interprets it. My first impression from this memo is that you won't deny cases merely because of missing info or badly orgnized, you will deny cases which do not have a solid base and argument. So, I don't think gernerally that applies to all the EB2 cases. Actually I even don't think that will happen to most of the 485 cases. I think they're targeting at the concurrent filed 140 cases. I kind of feel we are still going to see those standard RFEs pretty much : like EVLs , tax returns, continous legal status...
 
One way or the other, they're gonna screw us. So, I'd rather prefer to get shot painlessly and quickly than a painful and longer death.
 
For a person who has been in the same company all thru his GC nightmare, I am not sure where I should stand . One way I think people who do not have "solid base" should not affect me. But that begs the question where do I (rather than BCIS) think "solid base" line starts. We are here in this country as immigrants, we want to do honest work -- is it not a "solid base"?
Or rather what does make my case more solid than others? My journey involves F1 to H1 to hopefully GC (hey I want my GC right now -- My PD date in 12/11/1998) . It would be nice not to make this kind of choice. So my head says more denials, but heart says backlog.
Anyway, heads win -- because I am not sure take this anymore.

Want faster processing?

I guess is CIS pissed off about everyone (including senators,congressmen) asking for faster processing not to mention the lawsuit. That's why they are "following" the rules now and as per "law" you will see more denials than RFEs.

Given CIS is part of department of homeland security, their "interpretation" of law will be final.

My 2 cents: Always think twice what options you have before fighting with someone who has more power than you.
 
I agree with ihack1, you're playing with someone who has the power to change the rules at any time. Its like playing with the devil, so be careful what you wish for.
