Immigration backlogs increase (media article)

CSC forum folks are talking about this article

This article has an error
Only the wait time for adjustment of status, which is estimated at 24 months, is down from the 30-month period estimated two years ago.

Can you believe this
The necessary security checks have a short shelf life, Smulian said, adding to the BCI's workload. A check must be started within 15 days of receiving an application, and it expires 35 days after the check is completed. Since no applications are completed that quickly, Smulian said, the checks are done several times for every applicant.

If this is true then with this in place no wonder TSC is not able to adjudicate anything.



Were any of you folks who tried contacting the media to write stories like this successful?

I have not been successful in getting the attention from the media folks from my city yet. Will try again.

Do you think sending an email to

"It's very frustrating," she said. "There must be such a backlog in the New York metro area. It's just too overwhelming."

No sending an email to NY times will not help our case because we live in TSC area. If we get articles placed in media articles in TSC area then we can send it to the politicians to get more attention.

I just put in the email address because some people might want to send emails to correct the mistake in the article that says processing has improved from 30 months to 24 months which is not true. It has got worse from 6 months to 24 months.
