CSC speeds up

I just scanned WAC02-100 and other numbers and it seems quite a lot of RFEs have been generated since late March, 2004. Many were generated in early April!

It's not "speeds up".
The CSC has just shifted adjudication from DEC 2001 cases to JAN 2002 cases.
 
Kashmir,
It definitely is a speed up I would say. Yes they shifted their
focus to January but they have generated way too many RFEs
for January candidates very quickly. I think they are definitely
speeding up on sending RFE's. My bet is that they are going
to clear six months of clean cases very soon. That is the only
way they can tackle backlog. They have done this in the past
and I think they are doing it again. My guess is that they will
bring down the backlog to 2 years and try to keep it at that.
And to do that by June they must have finished significant
amount of cases to move the jit to July 2002. They have done
better before if I remember correct. Cleared a year of backlog
in few months. People literally got their AOS done in 2 months. We
have to wait and see if they can do that. A Kashmir report
would be much appreciated. I am thinking of scanning wac 02 70
through wac 02 150 to see how far they are going.

This would also make sense since they are sending RFEs for
people in August it only makes sense for them to clean out
cases till July very quickly as the pilot program is doing injustice
to people who filed before July.

So my guess and asumption is
CSC will clear backlog till July 2002 in couple of months and the
JIT will move to August as the pilot program progresses in couple
of months. This way the early applicants won't complain too much
about the Pilot program.

Ofcourse this is all speculation but it may be a good speculation,
No?

Everything is based on assumption...like your assumption that
cases being processed after July are cases belonging to some
pilot program.

Hi Long wait,
My speculation does not assume addition of any more resources
than there currently are.

I am sure that the existing resources can clear 6 months of
backlog very quickly to keep the backlog at 2 years.

Handling large number of cases does not have anything to
do with backlog. I am sure the existing resources are forced
to go slow by orders from above because of bad economy.

I am sure they can handle large number of cases quickly. They
just need to get the right orders.

The post that you mentioned also talks aout the cases cleared in
August belonging to some special category. Maybe it is a cover up.
Maybe it might be true that they belong to some special category.

Point is that RFEs can be quickly generated for thousands of
cases by existing resources. They just need the orders.
 
FYI

After discusion with the officer, I think he indicated , that to reduce the backlog there would some additional officers required, and will be assigned for EB I-485 cases after they are trained.

I asked him when would CSC take up my case (WAC02-220-5XXXX, RD June 28th 2002, ND July 01 2002), and he said 6 months or more.

I can understand if cases are approved based on special category, but why would head quarter explicity instruct the officers to approve specific cases. I don't know what are these "special category cases ..$$.00".
 
ngadhia,

Don't put too much faith in whatever the IIO has to tell. We all
very well know how ill equipped they are to handle any kind
of queries. They have no idea about what is going on at the
CSC and also probably with their life since they have joined as
IIO. So we should just ignore whatever the officer has to say
and look at Project Kashmir data. That is the only truthful
indicator we have.
 
What a wonderful speculation !!
Eveyone must sleep well and Project Ocean should stop all campaigns.

How r you scanning

Hi ganshm,

How r you scanning the database to get these reports? Is it a public access to get the results based on some query?

Thanks
 
I scanned yesterday for WAC-02-099-xxxxx, did not find any new RFE's/approvals etc. Did I miss something?
 
Yes, indeed, WAC 02 99 xxxxx cases fall in January. The last WAC # for January are WAC 02 100 xxxxx.

May be its because of these campaigns thats caused them headache and are forced to work more than they used to do before. I also agree that the slowdown is more because of the orders from higher up than because of the lack of resources. If it was lack of resources, then how are EAD/APs being approved so fast now. There might be more number of EADs/APs that they have to deal than number of 485 applications. The whole thing is just hushed up and bein blamed on lack of resources. If they could do it before and could do it now for EAD/APs they should be able to do it for 485s. Security checks is another story. Very little time of the whole 485 process is spent on security checks.

I too think its the economy that made them hold back green cards. I have a small theory on why they are going for concurrent filers. It could be wrong. It probably is because the Labor Certification for 2002 filers has happened sometime in early 2001 or late 2000. The economy was pretty ok then and all the people got their LC in no time, esp. with RIR etc., But for concurrent filers, their LC is done just before they filed for 140 and 485 concurrently. ie., in mid 2002, when economy was real bad. So, they probably think that those LCs are more valid (better certified w.r.t labor laws) and have more value than ours!!! Just my theory!

In anyways, we just need the higher ups to give the right directives, and that is where the campaigns are really helpful.
 
I am wac-02-24x,,, RD Aug, 02, it took 8 month for LC, and 3 month for 140...., does not seems in "no time"
 
I am not sure what u mean by more valid. All the LC I believe are valid as they are done by DOL and they cant descriminate us with lastest LC approval.

This pilot program has been advised in conjuction with US firms AILA and USCIS so they are trying to approach it with their screwed by logic.




"So, they probably think that those LCs are more valid (better certified w.r.t labor laws) and have more value than ours!!! "
 
Cynic's Corner

I want to believe, but I find it hard to believe.

They want to speed things up they should get rid of the RFE. That's something under their control that generates extra work for them.

Seems to me that this "RFE for all" is a unique policy for CSC.Other service centers are not issuing them as default requirement. I agree with becky that eliminating this would free up some officers who might then focus on our 485!!
 
CSC Mathematics

Some back of the envelope calculations.

It took the CSC 227 days to move from 11/16/01 to 12/16/01 (30 days)

It took the CSC 185 days to move from 12/16/01 to 01/09/02 (24 days)

So it's about 8 real days to 1 INS day.

I'm WAC 02 124, March 2, 2002 receipt date, so for me it's another 416 days, or 1 year and 51 days, or another 2 EAD's, another 2 AP's and guess what, yes, another set of fingerprints.

becky
