Hello rajum,
They can contract out several aspects/parts of the process like the Security Checks. DOL is contracting out the LC backlogs in two facilities, in NYC and Dallas.
I do not believe they EVER sincerely acknowledged the problem and its implications. They advertise the Elimination of Adopted Children as a success for BACKLOGS!!! Not to mention the "every applicant should receive the right benefit at the right time"!
FIFO: CIS has in the past indicated that due to the Security Checks taking different times for applicants, there is no real FIFO. Nobody complained, so they are taking it to the Nth degree..
Cinta,
I agree 100 % with you. Where there is a will, there is a way...and obviously I believe that there is no will...
When I read on the other posting that it takes 2 years to train the IIO...To me it is a bull shit..I also realize that we don't have any other option other than listening to this kind of stuff...I feel sad when some people genuinely buy these kind of arguments...Most of the times, I resign to the obvious...
To all,
Whenever I read any genuine proposals, first thing I start wondering is how we can take this message to the broader audience who can influence the policy.
Definitely this costs us time and money.
Some how I feel that our sufferings has not reached a critical mass to launch any concerted effort...It has not reached the critical mass like it reached in 1999 where we have no go but to act....now, at least some leeway is there in the form of AC 21 and so many people are taking easy....Am I right ? I myself is definitely feeling stifled... some people are doing whatever they can...but we have to do as a group, our lives and ambitions for better life has invariably tied up ....otherwise no one is going to succeed...
In that respect, I view fund collection mostly as a function of sufferings and to some extent the leadership.
The fund collection is not upto the mark...despite best efforts by dsatish....and what suprised me was the attitude of some friends...they talked about how much suffering one is undergoing and no one is not doing anything and all that stuff but when it comes to donation they started avoiding....
If we cannot collect enough money, we cannot take our message effectively to law makers and opinion makers, otherwise we have to restrict ourselves to this law suit. In that way, we owe a lot to Rajiv Khanna. At least, he has brought relief to people like me who are sulking to the feeling of helplessness.
As I said earlier, I personally believe that fund collection is mostly a function of suffering, am I right in assuming that people are not feeling that kind of threat levels to bargain for any kind of relief....or is the leadership is so bad that it is overwriting their concerns for green card ? If so, What do you expect the core team to do ..(remember that core team members are just like you who has to raise their families, they have to do their jobs to get their green card, and they got their job insecurities just like everybody)...Be honest in the opinions.....
