Why enter cases manually?
There are different opinions and many posts in this forum - some say that DOL has a hidden agenda to get rid of as many of the applicants as possible (by means of lost 45day letters or because people will get tired to wait, or because many people will have to leave their companies after so much time).
I think it was just a question of internal politics (read interested people) and budget in a big organization (just like it was in Soviet Union) - somehow they've ended up with budget approved to pay to contractors to enter data, but did not have budget approved for software that could transfer the cases. So, they're paying contractors, even if it's more expensive and more time consuming than writing and running software. Who would ever want to change a decision that was once made? Contractors - no way, they're getting more money. DOL - no... why spend time on discussing budget again and look stupid before those who approves that budget? Once a wrong decision is made - the best tactics for all of them is to ignore further questions. Is this situation worse than in our home countries? No. Except that in Russia (and I heard the same about India, forgive me if I'm wrong) it's very common to pay some cash to a government officer to avoid some checks or speed up some processing, unlike USA... btw, we also do not need Green Cards there ; )
After all, what made us think that DOL or White House wants to get us out of the country? Keeping our SSA contributions without having to pay back? Maybe. But it's even more likely that they don't care. They have much more important and interesting problems on agenda. Some are very reasonable, like making sure that terrorists cannot easily obtain GC or Visa. Others are more understandable than reasonable, like making sure your friend gets a good contract (who knows, may be he will give you a contract later?), or working tirelessly on shipping and entering cases into the new system (you may get a bonus or a raise for being so dedicated manager and doing things so well), or making sure your boss is happy. By the way, when your boss is happy? Right, besides of nice feeling of the job well done, he is happy when his boss is happy. And that's the key! All we can do is to make sure that their bosses are not happy and want a better work - by talking to senators and showing how inefficient the process is and then asking senators to talk to DOL.
Bottom line - write to your senator!!! Sign and send a letter to Spidey, who promised to send a bunch of them to senators, too:

That's all just my opinion. No flames, please

Am I missing something ?
