03/22/03: BCIS Applications/Petitions Processing Reduction Planning Underway
* According to the information released by the BCIS to the AILA on March 13, 2003, the DHS has been working on the 3-Year Backlog Reduction Plan (FY 2003 - FY 2005) which is scheduled to be completed around mid-April, 2003. It appears that the DHS intends to achieve the goal through a few measures, which include, among others:
* Increased Funding Resources for Immigration Benefits
* Reduced Functions and Workloads of BCIS
."..This nightmare is expected to change soon, though. Apparently, the DHS is scheduled to conclude the call-in special registration by April 25, 2003, when the Group IV special registration period will expire. Unfortunately, BCIS is forced to finish up the special registration processing until April 25, 2003 in the way they have been handling until now..."
* Reform of Field Offices and Immigration Services Procedures
* The immigration benefits applicants/petitioners have been suffering from horrible delays as affected by the measures related to the homeland security including IBIS check and Special Registration on top of the agency reorganization. It is hoped that the immigration benefits should not be sidelined as an illegimate offspring to the security function and the on-going reform including the foregoing planning be materialized as soon as possible so that not only the aliens but also related businesses and U.S. citizens or permanent resident relatives get a relief from the current nightmares.
