VSC Backlogs

HI All,
I have been reading about the initiative being taken by some members to expidite green card processing. One of the suggestions was to sue INS for the delays.

I have a suggestion, a few days ago there was a scheme called premium processing for H1B. I was wondering if they could do something like that for I-485 too. They could use the money for improving infrastruture and hiring more people.

My point is if we sued the only people who would definitely benifit are the lawyers. Dragging the already slow INS into litigation would slow it down even further. I wouldnt mind paying $1000 to INS if my case was approved in the next 3 months.

Cheers

The way you would not mind paying $1000, everybody would not. So everybody as it is will shifted to premium processing line. The same story continues. Some are ready to pay even 5 to 10 thousand.

The only one who benefit from this is stupid INS.
 
I agree with your input on VSC Backlogs. Suing USCIS will not help at all. It may force Govt to increase the budget enabling USCIS to hire more staff. But, internally, most of the manpower will be exhausted in preparation to defend their case. The best thing is to bring the poor management or prossessing of USCIS in limelight and let media question USCIS chiefs for this poor processing and unnecessary harrassment.

Please discuss and find the best and suitable way to take up the matter.
 
Well thats exactly what I am suggesting use the money to increase staff to approve the case. I am not sure how much work is involved in approving your case once the background check is done. I assume not much.
 
Already have enough of manpower

No matter what you give them, this will always be the scenario. What have they been doing from the 1st of Oct, as said they will be done with Religous Processing in Sep. They already have an excuse to reduce the H1B backlog. 485 has never been their priority. I guess we have no other choice but to live with this.
 
Fees paid doesn't go directly to USIS

Goes into treasury and INS is allocated a budget. So, even with premium processing at higher fees, the situation would still be the same.
 
So what next ? Premium processing for driving licenses and EADs and AP? Sounds like a good business opportunity. I guess 1000$ for EAD seems like a good figure to me. It is less than 2% of your salary.
