Launch of "Concurrent I-140/I-485 Adjudications" On 4/30/2004!

USCIS Backlog Reduction and RFE

Another article just below the above one at:

04/17/2004: USCIS Backlog Reduction and RFE
  • As part of the Bush's 5-year reduction 6-month processing initiative, the USCIS has initiated a number of changes in the case management. One change is the concurrent adjudication of I-140/I-485 packages. Another change which the people will soon notice is the volume of Request for Evidence (RFE). For the recent months, the Service Centers have issued literally "flood" of RFEs creating a mountain of processing delays and backlogs. Report indicates that USCIS is currently working on a new management initiative which is expected to be completed by 2006. One of these moves will include the increased communication/contact by the Service Centers with the filers or their legal representatives through the telephone and fax in order not to issue RFE. This is indeed a welcome move. At the same time, unrepresented filers should pay more attention to the phone numbers and fax numbers which they print on the immigration forms. Those numbers can receive a call from the officers.
  • Today, this reporter sent a fax inquiry to the TSC. Within an hour or so, this reporter received a telephone call from a TSC official responding to the inquiry. We are very grateful for the Texas Service Center providing such services to the consumers. It is expected that people will get more calls and faxes from the agencies in the future in lieu of RFE. People should pay more attention to the phone calls and faxes. Alert your receptionists and secretaries! It is a time to train the receptionists and secretaries to handle properly the calls from the agencies. The officers deserve respect and no rudeness.

and join the campaigns #11c (and #13).

USCIS should adjudicate all pending I-485 (and I-140) cases before 4/29/2004 !!

ALL PENDING I-485 (and I-140) APPLICANTS SHOULD CLAIM AGAINST USCIS !!
Otherwise, you're just a chiken.

The article says:
... the USCIS issued a memorandum to the Service Centers on March 31, 2004 ...

We need to get that memorandum at first.
 
Kashmir, You are a winner and we are with you. I have sent email according to the format you had put for unfairness towards long pending caes. Sent email to Don Neufeld's and Anna Ashoo.

No 2nd FP yet/no RFE.

The USCIS will attempt to succeed new program even adding all available resources.
If old applicants see new applicants get approved within a couple of months, most of old applicants may file new I-140 and I-485 applications, except those who is too poor to pay increased filing fees or who has a special reason.
If all old applicants move to new program, the USCIS can assert that the backlog is less than a year, even though the number of pending cases is the same.
Also, USCIS can save money that has to use for old pending cases.
It's really a great backlog reduction plan for USCIS, isn't it ?

Kashmir,

With this new concurrent adjaculation of I-140 and I-485, how a person will use AC 21 if they are planning to approve it in 2 years like they are doing now.

Any comments.

Thanks,

Concurrent filers are screwed... they cannot use AC21. This is USCISs way of saying... back off guys. Is this the price we pay for litigating against USCIS?

USCIS Backlog Reduction Plan and Multiple Year EAD

http://www.immigration-law.com/Canada.html

04/19/2004: USCIS Backlog Reduction Plan and Multiple Year EAD
  • USCIS sources indicate that sometime in late Spring 2004, it will announce the details of backlog reduction plan, which will include multiple-year EAD and electronic filing schedule. The sources say that by FY 2005, 90% of immigration benefits filing will be done electronically.
  • The multi-year EAD rule has been under review by the OMB since March 4, 2004. It is likely that the review will be completed around the first week of June 2004 and may be published soon thereafter. Please stay tuned to this web site for the development of this news.

This nonsense must be urgently stopped.
How can cases filed later be adjucated earlier. I can't imagine why so many here think it is good idea. The older filers would suffer- as adjuacteors would be diverted there.
If 2002 filers are praying and hoping to get adjucated by end of this year is some victory/good news- I don't think so. 2-3 years for 485 is a terrible news.

This $#^*(%() must be stopped.

Let us launch a campaign : "STOP Last In First Out Policies " . Let us collect signatures from people and fax it to VSC director, USCIS director etc. We can fax it on the letterhead of our new organization.
I will start that campaign at VSC forum on Monday. I would like to see what Rajiv says on Sunday.
