I-140 Processing Times
TSC announced that it is making a deliberate effort to reduce the I-140
backlog. As part of this project, TSC has been transferring several thousand cases to the Nebraska and Vermont Service Centers. The goal is to bring the I-140 processing times "current" by May 2002. We do not have information on
how cases will to be selected for transfer, nor was information given as to
whether transfer notices will be issued in order to inform petitioners of
transfers. Whether the transfer of cases might also slow processing at the
INS Service Centers in Nebraska and Vermont remains to be seen.
