06/20/2003 (Report from New Orleans): No Noticeable EB-485 Processing Time Change in
Sight
The BCIS has adopted a policy of reduction of processing times through the following means:
o Acceleration of automation of processing
o Reengineering of the process
o Priority of processing
When it comes to the priority, it will focus on certain forms which the statute mandates to complete in a fixed
period of time such as EAD and Green Card Replacement. With reference to the automation, they have
already selected the forms which they will focus in the future. None of the new policy standards fit into the
EB-485 applications. The BCIS is considering automation of name check. Once the name check automation is
in place, it may help when it comes to processing times, because the name check is causing a tremendous
delay. But nothing is solid at this point. It is thus obvious, unfortunately indeed, that EB-485 cases will continue
to experience delays and frustrations.
