BCIS Director Eduardo Aguirre dislosed in an interview that the BCIS is currently studying the backlog reduction plan. It appears that Mr. Aguirre is overly optimistic about impact of expansion of electronic filing. He has not discussed why EB-485 cases are practically on hold. When the delay is related to adjudication issues or policy issues rather than processing of filing issues, people want to wait and see how expansion of electronic filing will indeed help to reduce the completely clogged 485 backlogs.
Aguirre said that his main priority is to reach the goal—set by President Bush—to reduce wait times on immigration benefit applications to no more than 6 months by the end of 2006. “Just like these backlogs didn’t grow overnight, we can’t solve it overnight, but we are going to solve it,” Aguirre said.
