USCISisMockery,
I was going through the recent postings and looks like this thread is mostly focussing on 7th year extensions etc which is way away from the intent of this forum.These postings are all genuine and I totally understand that people need info on these 7th year ext,but let's not loose focus on the purpose of this forum.
Looking at your email,looks like you have been in this forum for long and you and some other members like Spidey are willing to promote awareness among senators ,congressmen to overcome this slackness in PBEC.
I appreciate your effort and willingness.Please share any ideas in this direction.For example-I see that there was supposed to be a newspaper article on this issue sometimes back,but the energy got lost?...
Thanks,
Thanks for encouraging words. No, we haven't lost energy, its just the nature of the beast. Any group effort starts with bunch of people and slowly but surely it will be followed by people who are skeptical initially.
Regarding topic going off because of 7th year extension, IMHO its very sensitive and emotional time for anybody who is completing 6 years. And I think we should help such member as much as we can .
I am surprised by post by active member like Juntha. For a moment I though he is kidding when he criticized "my prediction" that BEC will take 3 more years to clear out backlog.
When my (hypothetical) friend's case was filed in May 2001, he was expecting it to be cleared by Dec 2001, but he is still with us. In Jan 2004, I was expecting my cases to be adjudicated by June 2004 and you know where i stand.
Just think probability of DOL falling behind schedule: 100 % based on past performance.
If BEC couldn't data enter 300,000 cases within 8 months, how in the world do you expect them to clear backlog by June 2006 (while forming BEC, DOL predicted to clear out backlog within 18 months).
Just look at aprc2002 post, if they cleared out 5000 cases in 2 months, lets say they are all super human and clears 10000 cases in 2 months, still they need 60 more months. People were predicting best case scenerio that data entry will be done by summer, backlog will be eliminated by next year, 45 days letters will be received by July..., but predicting worst case scenerio is reckless. I am just suggesting that it won't work the way its going, they have to add manpower.
And finally its just <My opinion only>, you don't have to take it as facts. Please read my signature.
I hope and will pray so that my predictions prove reckless.
