However, if the BCIS starts the reduction at the beginning of FY2004,
and if the reduction of backlog is linear,
all of us should get approved by the end of 2004.<...>
So, it is important for the BCIS to start the reduction of EB I485 backlog right now, at latest on October 2003,
and to keep on processing .
Frankly speaking, I don't expect any backlog reduction for a short term to the BCIS.Originally posted by ND022202
Assuming about 30000 cases of I485 are pending now in WAC01 and WAC02 series, and setting "working timeframe" to clean this backlog to 15 months (Oct 03 - Dec 04), BCIS has to process 2000 cases per month on average. Current performance is about 200 per month, so they need to increase performance 10 times (say, assign 20 officers instead of 2). Could they?

To most of us, just the backlog not increasing is enough.
Even 1,000 cases per month is OK with me if the CSC starts processing at the beginning of FY2004.
If 10 officers were assinged for EB I-485 by 10/1/2003 and if they were not taken away during FY2004, it should be achieved.
