Approx around this date, it was said BEC is in a process of receiving the regional cases from CA, (assume that, if the BEC received the applications immediately and started the processing on NOV 11th). It also specified that each BEC is staffed with 100 contract workers and 30/40 federal employees. Take roughly 100 each BEC. Total is 200.

It is said; to date they have issued 26,000 45 day letters. This means
(I am assuming the NOV 11 and JAN 11 for easy calculation purpose)
Total working days are approx 2 months Nov 11 to Jan 11. Approx working days are 40
Total work days: 40 * 200 = 8000 work days.
Data entry was done and 45 day letters were sent to 26,000 applications. This means
Applications worked per day: 26000/8000 = 3.5 apps per day per person.
They achieved this during the peak holiday season, with the new software, training employees and correcting the bugs in the new software etc. Don't you think they can do a better job now? I am not gaining any thing supporting the BEC; I am also just like you, waiting for my labor to be approved.

In this news it is also specified that each BEC will have 200 contract workers + federal employees (approx 30/40). So assume that BEC's will have 400 people working together on the cases. (May be they will achieve this 400 employees target by March 28th. as Icarus said there are only 109 at Dallas)
So again you do the little math. Work is doubled(adjudication from march 28th), people are also doubled(200 to 400), what could be the per day applications cleared per person?? I am little poor in math, please post your response!!!
If “satellite” offices also clear the cases, can it help per day work output?
Your comments or responses will help every one in the forums.
Yeahh, there will be RFE’s to lot of cases, there will be no response to 45 day letters due to various reasons…that is all the better part.
