backlog reduction - fair and equitable?!
guys,
I don't know how you feel about this pilot program, but I am personally convinced that it won't be fair for all of us. Take for example the non-concurrently filed cases. It is likely that CIS will stop processing non-concurrent applications alltogether because they will be so bogged down
1. processing the new cases
2. trying to reduce the backlog of 485s.
I was very disappointed yesterday to see the projected processing time increase with another 90 days again.... I think it's a sign that non-concurrent and old EB applications will be put in the backburner- out of sight, out of mind.
I feel that the immigration community should raise this issue with CIS. I suppose the recent attempts to reduce backlog on CIS's part are (at least partly) due to the lawsuit this board filed with the help of Mr. Khanna, but the measures are not being distributed even handedly, but in a rather biased way.
I am sure this was not in Mr. Khanna's intention, however things are looking to benefit some but not all. I personally feel very disappointed that my EB3 non-concurrent case is likely to be the lowest priority because of this lawsuit. I think the community should try to address this problem. I feel that one month old cases getting approved before long pending cases should not be the case!
While I am totally behind Mr. Khanna's lawsuit and actions to reduce backlog, I feel that it should be done in a fair and equitable way.
Please post your thoughts on this.
Thanks,
