ASCs
Please post your first FP date and place. It looks like several places have either a problem, or this is just the perfect excuse for USCIS to hold back thousands of applications. The pilot programs and the memos (concurrent) also have a negative impact to 2002 applicants getting a second FP, as these groups are being scheduled for 1st FP first to accomodate some not so healthy backlog reduction plan. There is also apparent randomness between 2002 applicants, as October, November, December 02 and early 03 are getting FP notices.
I-485 RD : 08/13/02
I-485 ND : 08/15/02
1st FP : 10/24/02 PHILLY
2nd FP : ??
DHS agencies having budget problems except USCIS: The director does not want more money!
FBI : 20000 people strong
ICE : 20000 people strong
USCIS : About 10000 with about 4000 Adjudicators. 25% of them doing FP checking. What are the 20000+20000 of FBI and ICE combined are doing???
