Letter format
Once we formalize a letter I will take the initiative to contact Mr. Khanna to see if he can help us out by preparing a similar letter like the FP letter. If we do not get any help from Mr. Khanna we can start a discussion forum posting where people can sign and then we can individually send this to our senators/congressmen/Texas Service reps saying that here is a collection of folks who has problems with your I-495 processing times. What do you folks think about this. I am sure a few hundred signatures will make a difference. Any suggestion to improve these letters is appreciated.
Dear Mr. Rajiv Khanna
As you might be aware TSC is more than an year behind in I-485 compared to other service centers and there seems to be no improvement in the processing time. The I-485 processing time will not improve until TSC takes action about it. We would appreciate if you could help several hundred folks who are waiting to get the approval and whose lives are affected by these delays. Example: The processing date has not moved at all in the past three months and there seems to be no signs of it picking up.
Letter to Texas Service Center representatives.
Subject: I-485 processing delays in Texas Service Center
Dear Sir/Madam:
Currently Texas Service Center is processing I-485 for Nov, 2001 dates. This is about an year behind compared to other service centers. Due to these delays lives of several hundred families are affected in several ways, especially in these harder economic times. We do not think that is fair on TSC’s part to delaying law abiding, tax paying folks like us. Is there anyway TSC could improve the I-485 processing time? Can TSC send I-485’s to other centers for approval? Can TSC shift resources to approve more I-485’s? What can we do to help you in any manner to quicken the approval process. We would really like to see TSC at least on par with the remaining service centers if not better.
Your quick and conclusive reply is appreciated.
Sincerely
Folks who have applied and waiting for I-485 approval.
