Get Don Neufeld's commitment by Christmas holidays !!
Several groups have already started contacting Congresspersons at other service centers' area, too.
Again, as this campaign is specific to CSC, I enourage every CSC applicants to participate.
Because CIS budget is limited, if other service centers get more budget, we have less chance to get approved like FY2003.
My targets are:
1) 5 Congressional members write to Don Neufeld.
2) get Don Neufeld's commitment through 2 Congressional offices by 12/24/2003.
I believe the first week of December is very important.

Get Don Neufeld's (Director of CSC) commitment !!
As you know from a couple of sources,
a representative from CSC told at the AILA liaison meeting that additional personnels had been allocated to reduce the processing times for I-485s to within one year in the next six months.
However, we don't want such a prediction or an expectation from CSC, but we need a commitment from Don Neufeld, Director of CSC through several Congressional offices.
Anna Eshoo (D CA 14th) and Mike Honda (D CA 15th) have written to Don Neufeld.
Now, I am working with Senators' offices, Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein.
Please fax to the House of Representative in your congressional district .
Also, visit your representative's district office to talk directly with a staff.
Then, post your experience here at this thread.

RE: Request to Don Neufeld, Director of CSC, to allocate EB I-485 dedicated resources
Dear Congressman XXXXX XXXXX;
I am one of Employment based (EB) I-485 applicants suffering from the current processing delay at the California Service Center (CSC) of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), and also a member of one of the largest legal worker's online immigrant community -- ImmigrationPortal.Com.
The backlog of EB I-485 reached almost two years at the CSC, and it has been still growing. Security Checks are always used as an excuse. However, Naturalization backlog decreased 11% compared to one years ago. I wonder if it is really a matter of Security Checks. Not only Naturalization, among major types of applications at the CSC, only the EB I-485 backlog has been significantly growing. It must be the discrimination by the U.S. Government against innocent EB I-485 applicants such as legal workers paying tax and their dependents.
Could you please write to Don Neufeld, Director of CSC, to allocate adjudicators dedicated to EB I-485 so that the backlog would not grow more than two years ?
