Comment on INS annual audit...

On 09/24 we got following news from AILA...

AILA reports that the INS is undertaking another "annual" file audit until the first third of October, during when the movement of files will be frozen. Reportedly, it will minimize processing delays, but it is obvious that for awhile, people may experience some delays in some aspects of INS processing."

Please note that "First Third" of October should mean until the end of 10 days out of total 31 days in October. So audit should be over app. by 10/10/2002.

By the way I think some where else they also said that during the audit CSC will NOT stop sending out approvals where as VSC will... It seems they got it wrong (i.e. VSC will continue sending approvals where as CSC will stop during this audit).

I hope at least from Friday CSC will start sending approvals. Also please post your comments to this thread about this audit...

Why they have to be so cryptic "until the first third of October"? I've read (at different places) that the audit will be Over by 4th of October.
 
Experience with CSC is getting frustrated %%&&&&&&???????

One of the most poorly run organizations( especially CSC)??
 
One third of October is a very good thing.
At least it explains the current delay in approvals.
 
Probably those cases were approved before the audit began but AVM and online were updated after.
 
audit or no audit , thay work at there own pace . there are ppl waiting from march 2001 and there are ppl approved for nov 2001 . What difference does it make its just Pure Luck a guy with all valid docs gets a rfe or interview but a laid off guy with out work gets a approval. So will this audit makes difference or not will be seen in next month or so how cases were handled and distributed.
 
CSC JIT Report

CSC JIT report due this friday (Oct 11) will confirm the freeze.

first third interpretation was good. I had seen it, but couldnt get it. Thanks PCee.
 
ghost-rider,

I agree on one things, even if the audit started on 09/24 still Sept. is one very bad month for number of approvals compared to previous months (based on summary pages).

Here are approval numbers for 2002 sofar..

01/02 - 72
02/02 - 121
03/02 - 134
04/02 - 42 (New security check delay?)
05/02 - 92
06/02 - 63
07/02 - 38 (Some kind of year end cleanup delay?)
08/02 - 72
09/02 - 29 (Audit delay?)

07/02 - 38 (Some kind of year end cleanup delay?)
08/02 - 72
09/02 - 29 (Audit delay?)

Total of only 139 approvals in three months compared to 134 in 03/02 and to 121 in 02/02 . This may be due to progressive attention INS gave to old and rfe cases whose processing takes a lot longer than straight forward (in INS view) cases.

My 2c
 
'First third' makes sense. I remember one post here, in which
IIO informed the submitter that csc will be busy with audit till 14th. Considering slow(no) work on fri. 11th and week end, the information matches with 'First Third' iterpretation.

good luck to all :)
 
first third?

Why be so cryptic? I think they should have hexadecimal encoded their date, and then DES one way factorial encrypted it, so we couldn't make any sense of it at all, and taken a partial derivative of it in the 4th dimension with respect to z axis, so they could totally confuse us.

Anyway, first third (1/3rd), gives us some hope. PCee thanks for bringing this forth. Yea sept. as I had pointed out has been the worst month in more than 1 year. Very fondly hoping Oct. will be better.

One note about the freeze. I donot think CSC is frozen. Since a *few* people did get approvals and a *few* others did get their statuses changed from say .. RFE sent to RFE received. etc. etc....
 
Hope the Audit gets over soon.

I am sure PCee's tracking system is so much better than what INS has for its own use. I am surprised at how badly a government organization can do inspite of so many advances in technology.

Is it seriously that difficult to process a file with X-amount of information, of Y-Number of people given Z-resources? All they need to do is increase man power if that is what is falling short. We pay such high processing fees, lawyer fees to make sure the documentation is correct and all that goes where I want to know?

At the end of it all we get these cryptic messages from the INS which they themselves probably don't understand.

Most disappointed about this behaviour.
