Murthybulletin's states the following:
3. CSC Updates I-485 Issues : November 2003
Meetings occur periodically between the American Immigration Lawyers Association liaison and representatives from the California Service Center (CSC). The liaison has the opportunity to ask a variety of questions regarding policies and procedures, as well as current problem areas. We know that many MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers have Adjustment of Status (I-485) cases pending at the California Service Center. What follows is the most recent information available regarding I-485 cases at the CSC.
Processing Time Reductions
The CSC predicts that, over the next six months, they will reduce the processing times for I-485s to within one year. They have allocated additional personnel to this task. The current processing times as published by the CSC show close to a two-year backlog. Reducing the processing times will require an enormous effort on the part of the CSC. We welcome an improvement in this area, but have seen many such promises go unfulfilled in the past. Additionally, if Service Center employees are merely being reassigned to work on the backlog, they are not processing some other type of case. What the Service Centers need are sufficient resources to process all cases in a timely manner, rather than merely shifting people from processing one category of cases to another.
