"The supervisors at the BCIS Nebraska Service Center have acknowledged that the processing date of
employment-based I-485 has not moved much since early 2003. The Center indicated that it has taken a 75% cut
in officers assigned to this product line. The Center currently only has five officers working on this product line.
The Center stated that it anticipates that it will return to pre-cut levels of production by October 1st and that it's
planning to augment the staff on the product line by three officers at that time bringing the total number of
officers on that product line to 19. However, these officers will also have to focus on asylee and religious worker
adjustment of status applications. The Center did indicate that if the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) initiates its
PERM program wihch then increases the number of Form I-140 filings, the Center may have to transfer some of the
officers from the Form I-485 product line to the Form I-140 product line to keep processing times relatively
current".
So VSC must be doing same thing right now.
1 officer work on backlog Oct/Nov, 1 on Dec, 3 officers work on Jan/Feb.
