RE: CSC Director Donald Nuefeld's Backlog Reduction Plan

Dear Congresswoman Anna Eshoo;

Most of members of ImmigratoinPortal.Com especially in California
would appreciate your having got CSC Director Don Neufeld's response
about EB I-485 backlog reduction.

However, nobody can believe that he would achieve his goal of I-485
backlog reduction plan because his plan is not specific and also
his excuse about TPS El Salvador is almost the same as one year ago,
and actually the I-485 backlog has never been reduced
even after 3/9/2003 deadline of EAD for TPS El Salvador.

We started sending e-mail to claim against Don Neufeld this week
and a couple of dozen of members have already sent as attached,
but no one has received a reply from him so far as usual.

Could you (or your staff) call to Don Neufeld at (949) 389-3050
to discuss about the I-485 backlog reduction plan
and make him provide us the plan specific enough and achievable
so that we can believe ?

Sincerely,

RE: Specifics on CSC’s I-485 Backlog Reduction Plan

Honorable Congresswoman Anna Eshoo,

I was delighted to read on ImmigratoinPortal.Com that CSC Director Don Neufeld has promised you to significantly increase the number of adjudicators assigned to processing I-485 cases once the deadline for TPS El Salvador is passed on 3/9/2004, and that he further suggested to you that the processing time for I-485 employment-based petitions will be reduced to 12 months or less by the end of September 2004.

However, apparently the same promise was made last year, and I-485 processing times did not decrease after 3/9/2003. Rather the opposite happened and the current processing time for I-485 cases has already reached over 25 months. Mine is such a case; it was received by CSC on Dec 7, 2001.

It would be very reassuring to the employment-based immigration community if you could request Director Neufeld to be more specific about the steps being taken, or being planned, in order to reduce the current growing backlog. For instance,
1) How many officers are currently working on I-485 adjudications?
2) How many officers will be allocated to I-485 after 3/9/2004?
3) How many new applications are they receiving per month and how many old ones are they processing per month now? Currently these numbers are estimated at about 3500 and 350 respectively.

I am sure that you understand the many hardships that the unreasonable delays in I-485 processing creates for all of us, and I assure you that your inquiry into the specifics of CSC’s backlog reduction plan can contribute immensely towards alleviating our anxiety. I recognize that we might not be constituents to the full extent of the word, as we don’t currently have the right to vote, but we will be so tomorrow, and will remember your help.


Respectfully yours,
