Dear Mr. Wilkerson:
Thank you for contacting the Office of U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell.
I appreciate your research into differences in processing times between
different sevice centers nationwide. The Nebraska Service Center has certainly
become notorious for being the slowest service center, and fiance visa
applications are no exception.
As the Senator's representative, I am in regular contact with the Nebraska
Service Center. They have informed me that the BCIS office in Washington, D.C.
has mandated that they adjudicate 10,000 asylum adjustment applications before
October 1, 2003. They are the only service center tasked with these
applications. As such, the NSC has moved many of its' officers from adjudicating
fiance and spouse petitions to adjudicating the asylum petitions. Once these
applications are adjudicated, I understand that the Nebraska Service Center will
be readjusting their resources back to fiance and spouse petitions, among
others.
If you would like, you can write a letter to the Senator and I would be happy to
forward your concerns to the Department of Homeland Security in Washington, D.C.
The contact information is provided below.
Thank you for contacting the Office of U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell.
Sincerely,
Claudia Arana
