If the IIO\'s are saying they are working on Aug 1 ND cases, how come we see this. Don\'t get me wrong august friends, there is Nothing against you. I am freaked with the f******* logic of holding older cases and approving new cases. Why the hell do we have priority dates if they don\'t follow an order.
My stats Rd 07/09, ND 08/23, FP 12/18, ???
I spoke with an IIO yesterday and this is the second time. First I called on May 9th and was told that my case is assigned to an officer it would take 4 weeks. So I called again yesterday, it was a long conversation and the outcome is disapointing.
Here is the summary,
Your case is in the same stage (still with the officer). She said things have slowed down a lot due to new security checks (which we are aware of) and new policies (god knows what this is). There are tons of applications and all officers are overloaded (i don\'t understand how the number of approvals can be reduced if they are overloaded). I asked how long would it take to stream line and see approvals at normal pace? She said, " I can\'t even give an estimate, that\'s how slow things are moving. Call back after 4 weeks and don\'t be surprised if your case is still in the same stage." This was very comforting (kidding!!). I had asked about August cases, don\'t they go through the same line of checks and policies? how am i seeing newer cases approved? She goes, "you can\'t compare like that, some cases are straight forward and some are not." and added " it\'s very frustrating but you need to have patience, that\'s all I can tell you.".
I asked if she can has details about how close a case is for decision once with an officer, she said "IIO\'s don\'t have that kind of information, only major events like FP received or FP processed, yada yada yada are recorded and that\'s all we get to see. It depends on the adjudicating officer, if he needs more info an RFE is issued otherwise I don\'t know why the case is waiting."
Imagine after all this wait you get an RFE and loose another 2 months.
My understanding is most of the staff is busy with new 485 filings, issuing Receipts, EAD, AP scheduling FP. Now you get all these things in a month. It took us whole 3 months for EAD and AP and 6 months for FP. Some July end cases had to wait till Mar or Apr of this year.
The remaining staff is working on later months like Aug, Sept just to inflate the processing times.
I think, we July guys have an endless wait. We got screed at all stages including the I140.
I am really frustrated. I am planning to contact the local congress man and ask for their help. They have promptly followed up and replied in my friends case. There is nothing I could do, so Thought of venting the frustration doing this. I know lot of people had different opinions about this, It could only help, can\'t make it worse.
To top it all of, my job is little shaky. I hope you guys are in better position.
Good Luck and God bless all of us.
