I did my usual end-of-day routine, viz. visit the USCIS case status check website. While my status did not change (RD 01/2002, FP 03/2002, no 2nd FP, no 2nd RFE), the website seems to have changed for the better.
1. First of all, we have links to see processing times at various service centers, district offices. These used to be unofficial reports from AILA. Even though the information has not changed, atleast it's become part of the USCIS web-site.
2. Also, the website says for those who have responded to RFEs and have not heard for more > 60 (I think!) days, to call the toll-free to initiate a CASE Referral, where the Svc Center has to write to you in 30 days. Might be helpful for those 2001 filers
who have responded to RFEs and are waiting in frustration.
Overall, if one is cynical (most become after waiting 20-30 months to get action on an approved I-140), this does not mean much, but atleast some process discipline is being enforced at USCIS, although I know that part of me is saying "WRONG...this is another window-dressing excercise, not real process improvement!"
