Hey this might be an excercise worth maintaining every month. It really puts things in prespective, and can also be used as ammo against CSC when we speak to Congressmen about our plight.

wish485,

Would you be interested in maintaining this thread every month?
 
Sure guys .. will keep posting these analysis
BUT HAVE SYMPATHIES FOR TSCins THEY ARE FAR BEHIND :mad:
 
That's wonderful study. We should send this info to the Heads
of all 4 service centers especially to TSC and CSC. :o
 
Great info

Great summary of the sad state of affairs, especially at CSC.
Please make sure Rajiv has this info for I-485 litigation.

CSC's UGLY Performance

http://immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=115317&perpage=15&pagenumber=3#post716820

Code:
    01/15/2003 - 03/04/2004  414 days
---^-----------^-----------^---------^------------
CSC 11/16/2001 - 12/16/2001   30 days  30/414=0.07
NSC 08/01/2001 - 09/30/2001   60 days  60/414=0.14
TSC 11/01/2000 - 06/13/2001  224 days 224/414=0.54
VSC 10/15/2001 - 01/31/2002  108 days 108/414=0.26
The CSC has processed only 30 days of I-485 cases for 414 days since 1/15/2003 through 3/4/2004.
Of course, it is the worst,
1/2 of NSC, 1/3 of VSC, and 1/7 of TSC.
SHAME ON CSC !!

In the last 13 months

IN TERMS OF ABSOLUTE DATES

CSC is SECOND( DEC 2001 )
NSC is THIRD ( OCT 2001 )
TSC is FOURTH( May/June 2001 )

CSC IS AHEAD OF TSC BY 7 MONTHS

This is what we see from the suface. We should take a couple of other
facts into consideration.

In fact, a big portion of Aug-Nov '01 cases in TSC have been approved
or are currently under processing. The process workload for each case in
TSC is much lighter than that in CSC, since they do FP once and RFE
0 times for the majority cases (plus they provide telephone issued RFE's!).

I don't think CSC is actually 7 months ahead of TSC. 2-4 months
might be the case, according to my observation.
