Ths CSC has been approving about 350 cases per month for the last seven months, and it was quitely stable.
At the last night, the weekend scan of the Project Kashmir was done.
One fourth of November passed by,
and this month seems worse than any of the previous seven months...

estimate of processing date with the current approval pace
The CSC has approved about 350 cases per month in average for the last seven months.
The above estimate doesn't consider more than 5,000 pending cases filed between Aug 2001 and Nov 2001.
It needs another one year just to clear these cases.

Project Kashmir has been scanning all WAC-02 I-485 cases every weekend for the last seven months, and has several sample data in WAC-01 and WAC-03, too.
The CSC has been constantly receiving 100+ I-485 applications per day, i.e. 2,500-3,000 per month, 30,000-36,000 per year for a couple of years.
2,500 approvals per month is the minimum requirement that the backlog will not grow more than the current level.
Also, Project Kashmir shows the CSC has been approving 350 cases per month for the last seven month, and it seems quitely stable.
16 cases per day are supposed to be adjudicated by 2 officers.
To adjudicate 2,500 cases per month, at least 15 adjudicators must be allocated at the CSC.
I agree that Security Check is overhead at the CSC, however it can not be more than 80% of prcessing I-485 cases.
Actually, N-400 backlog has been reduced recently.
Among major application types, the only EB I-485 backlog has been significantly growing.
I strongly believe that it is caused by the number of adjudicators dedicated to EB I-485.
Simply, the Director of CSC has not been assigning reasonable number of officer for EB I-485 adjudication, and it is the discrimination by the U.S. Goverment against us, legal workers and their dependents.

Security Check is really the matter ?
(originally posted at VSC forum)
Here is the latest report of NATURALIZATION BENEFITS by USCIS.
The number of pending cases decreased 11 percent compared to one year ago.
Is there no security check for Naturalization ?
Not only Naturalization, among the major application types at the service centers, only EB I-485 backlog has been significantly growing.
I think such a priority by the USCIS must be illegal.
It is the discrimination by the U.S. Goverment against EB I-485 applicants, legal workers and their dependents.
I strongly believe it is not a matter of security check,
but simply a matter of headcount of adjudicators dedicated to EB I-485 at each service center.

15 adjudicators - misleading !?
According to vidongre's report,
Mr. Prakash Khatri, USCIS Ombudsman, said, "... Earlier, it used to take 30-40 minutes to adjudicate a case - now due to various rules, checks/security checks added by various committees, it takes almost 5-6 hours to adjudicate a case. ..." in Chicago last Saturday.
If he was right, 15 adjudicators might be working on EB I-485 at the CSC right now.
We had better change the campaign to "2,500 Monthly Adjudications".

Thank you.
By the way,
do we have a meeting with Zoe Lofgren (or her staff) ?
I believe she is one of key persons because she belongs to Subcommittee on Immigration and actually she has introduced a couple of bills recently.
Again, I would definitely attend the meeting.
Also, I will follow up to fax a letter toher office in a response of the letter I received yesterday.

Attended Anna Eshoo town hall meeting in Half Moon Bay on 11/10/2003
I drove to Half Moon Bay yesterday to attend Anna Eshoo's town hall meeting.
There were 30-minute speech and 90-minute Q&A session.
Main focus were MediCare, Energy, National Budget, Education, and Open Space System.
The only discussion on Immigration was H and L visas and outsourcing.
After the meeting, I waited for 30 minutes, and talked directly with Congresswoman.
She remembered me and I updated the current status shortly.
She told me that she had written to Head of Western Service Center (maybe, Director of CSC) and promised to let me now when she would receive a reply.
It took 30 minutes one way, and I spent 4 hours just for the meeting, totally 6 hours including preparation of documents and visiting the office, but I believe it should be worth to talk directly with Congressperson.

CSC is going to be the worst service center.
One year ago, the CSC was the best among four service centers, however, the VSC is the best now.
CSC looks better than NSC.
But the CSC is processing DEC-2001 cases and only 8% have been approved so far.
According to PorkChop's report, 40% of LIN-02-119 (ND: 2/25/2002) have been approved and 71% of LIN-02-075 (ND: 1/2/2002) have been approved.
Obviously, CSC processing date is behind.
TSC is worse than CSC now, but TSC pace seems faster than CSC.
The CSC might be going to be the worst among four service centers soon.
We have to take action right now.

The processing date of EB I-485 at the CSC proceeded only two months and a half per year,
but it proceeded four months at the VSC.
I think the reason is the difference of "resource" at the service centers as described at:
http://www.murthy.com/ukvsc.html
As you know, CIS FY2004 budget is still not enough, and one month has already passed.
Our petition of ImmigrationPortal.Com is common to all service centers,
however, the short-term resource allocation is competition among the service centers due to the limited budget.
If another service center would win, the CSC would lose as FY2003.

Data/Graphs available?
Good work on ocean and other projects. I have been in touch with 3 congresswomen from California on the topic and will be communicating with their staff again shortly. Is there a simple graph (from kashmir data) showing number of EB-485s filed in the last 3 years and the rate of abjudication (open jaw graph showing pace of abjudication and steady rate of new filings) that will enable the congresswomen's staff to present a coherent view of the issues for possible discussions?
In my past discussions with their staff, it appears that the political environment around H1B and related worker-immigrant issues is heavily influenced by the 200K+ job losses in high-tech industry in California.
In other words its an uphill task to line up support for immigrant worker case abjudicaiton according to their staffers.
please post reply here or provide your email so i can contact you directly.

Re: CSC is going to be the worst service center.
> CSC is going to be the worst service center.
You can see a couple of APPROVALs at other three service center's forum, even at TSC forum,
but no approval is reported here at CSC forum.
Have a nice weekend,

One year ago, the CSC was the best among four service centers, however, the VSC is the best now.
CSC looks better than NSC.
But the CSC is processing DEC-2001 cases and only 8% have been approved so far.
...
The processing date of EB I-485 at the CSC proceeded only two months and a half per year,
but it proceeded four months at the VSC.
I think the reason is the difference of "resource" at the service centers as described at:
http://www.murthy.com/ukvsc.html
As you know, CIS FY2004 budget is still not enough, and one month has already passed.
Our petition of ImmigrationPortal.Com is common to all service centers,
however, the short-term resource allocation is competition among the service centers due to the limited budget.
If another service center would win, the CSC would lose as FY2003.

Re: Data/Graphs available?
I visited Congressman Pete Stark office on Friday with kashmir at CA 13th distrit. I totally agree that we need some sort of charts and graphs to attract better attention of congressperson.

Karma_yoga and kashmir’s visit to congressman Pete Stark’s Office CA–13th district.
On Friday, 15th November, I met Kashmir and then went to congressman Pete Stark’s office at Fremont CA, 13th district. We immediately got attended by congressman’s aide C chavez. Kashmir earlier attended Pete’s town hall meeting. She said, she remembered Kashmir. We explained her about our portal and petition. Also submitted her the petition copy, 3100 signature copies and copy my letter to congressman’s office. We told her about our campaign and how it is getting replicated in several districts across USA. She seems (at least ) impressed. We also discussed about kashmir’s visit to congresswoman Eshoo’s office.
She inquired about the petition, if it is already in congress or worked on.
We requested congressman Pete’s time for a personal meeting. We told her that there are at least 5-8 volunteers in bay area (different district), that will be interested in joining meeting with congressman Pete.
We requested her to visit out portal and told her that, soon we will be having a website to track progress of our campaign across America. We will be visiting 22nd Nov town hall meeting at Fremont, CA.
It was a very good experience to visit congressman’s office. I am looking forward for meeting with congressman Pete Stark.
It was a very pleasing experience to meet Kashmir in person. He seems to be a very nice person to work with.
My understanding is,
1 letter/email/fax is worth of 100 verbal opinions.
1 physical visit is worth of 10 letters.
1 meeting with congressperson is worth of 100 letters.
Establishing personal connection with congressperson and office needs similar resources as needed to nurture a good friendship. But at the end you will have a valuable friend. That will be your personal asset. You can leverage it with our immigration issues now, other issues (relate to your country, other interest etc.) later if you wish.
