Depending on how cynical you have become, you can either have a good laugh or you can draw comfort.

Highlights:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of all the possible projects identified, eight were selected as having the greatest potential to produce a major improvement, and they are now under intensive study. These initiatives are:
1) Streamlining the family-based adjustment of status process;
2) Pre-certifying businesses that file petitions on behalf of employees;
3) Eliminating self-imposed requirements that inhibit processing or that create more
work, such as the one-year limit on Employment Authorization Document validity;
4) Improving processes leading to immigration benefit documents or cards by collecting
biometrics at Application Support Centers and redefining adjudication of applications
for certain benefits documents to institute verification of identify;
5) Reducing lines are our local offices;
6) Implementing the Child Citizenship Act;
7) Streamlining Naturalization Quality Procedures; and,
8) Implementing batch processing for Employment Work Authorization applications (I-
765).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Security screening has caused major delays in the processing of applications. While we make no apologies for the new procedures, we are making every effort to ensure that they are
carried out as expeditiously as possible, and dramatic progress is being made.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Congress recognized this when it passed the Homeland Security Act of 2002, which mandates that an
Office of Citizenship be set up within CIS. We are now in the process of doing that.
Ha! another excuse to divert resources
 
Tasse,

INS is like a professional student, who studies all the time and never graduates to get a good job.

I for one take this with a hand full of salt, I doubt anything is ever going to come out of this, besides other than EAD's there is no relief mentioned for employment based AOS.

Wherein lies the problem. As long as the zero tolerance policy exists, case officers are going to be scared to make mistakes and be even more frugal with their approvals.
 
zero tolerance policy

Eduardo Aguirre said at 3rd page,
CIS cannot afford to have employees frozen by the fear of making a mistake.
Finding solutions to the many challenge we face will require calculated, well-informed risk taking

It's great if it will become the fact within a few month.
 
Calculation

Surprisingly, he seemed to be able to calculate !!
Speaking of asylum, I would also like to note that the statutory cap on asylum adjustments, which limits CIS to granting law permanent status to no more than 10,000 asylees each year.
As of July, more than 140,000 asylees had applied for adjustment of status, meaing that someone applying for adjustment today could wait for as long as 14 years before a slot is available.

I am curious what kind of calculation he is doing for EB I-485 backlog.
... maybe under intensive study.
 
if a democrat wins the presidential election...

....illegals may get more priority than legal immigrants.

Democrats embrace amnesty for illegals

"...It's essential to have immigration reform," said Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, who said he wants instant citizenship for those who have lived in the United States for about five years"
