The above report by the Senator tells in detail about the current problems that concern us. "About 5 million pending cases", "cannot get any answers from service centers either through phone or website", "long processing times", "cannot enforce current rules", etc.
I for one support splitting INS into 2 functional units.
this thing either way. The world is not going to change overnight
and I am pretty sure that this "abolish the INS" is going to significantly slow down in the Senate. The way things typically work
in the U.S. Congress is the House passes a bunch of laws and then these laws get bottlenecked in the Senate (sort of like at INS TSC,
if you get my drift...). So barring another attack and/or another
INS Snafu, this thing might be held up in the Senate for months. Then
they will have to go to conference to iron out the differences between
the House and Senate versions of the bill. Only then will the bill go
to the president to sign it. Already, Senator Kennedy has indicated he does not like the House bill, so it will significantly be slower in
the Senate.
The bill hasn\'t even cleared the senate yet. The bill just passed the House. It must pass the Senate and be signed by the president before it\'s even definite. Even once it is definite, there will likely be a significant delay before anything really changes. AC21 passed a year and a half ago and we still don\'t even have implementing regulations for it. All AC21 did is make some changes in immigration law and procedure, this thing would eliminate INS and break it in 2 parts. It certainly isn\'t going to happen tomorrow.
So can we expect like the cases on the track with ND\'s in 2001 may get approvals before the new policy implementation?
Beside the poor job market and reduction in salaries, INS abolishment news hits us strongly.
Several people are maintaining that IIO\'s told them that there are orders coming to halt all I-485 processing, is that true?
Could that happen without being told in a press release or something similar.
