I could not keep silent and post my message like other silent users ( some of them visible only when they get approved ).

Well I consulted few immigration atternoys, no body able tell why the processing is so slow and what is it causes are, they say that their guess is as good as ours.

Cronology...
1) FBI/new ibis checks
2) Registration of some countries ended
3) upgrade to the compu/software etc. ended/going on not sure
4) 200 adjudicator appointed in VSC.
5) no perm processing
6) no direct contact with VSC officers by phone for case status.
7) Emergency religious education program ended (sunset/sunrise xyz)


After all the above.. To open the file and see the our documets will hadly take them 12 minutes (as per former adjudicator) to either approve or send an RFE. also whether to process the case or not always be done before you get the receipt/notice letter.

BCIS/USCIS is not correctly telling why the processing taking long... there should be some proper reason.

Except sending the petitions we cannot do anything. BTW 80% of this portal reader who are waiting for GC (like Fox waiting for Ox..) did not sign the petition (I may be wrong).

We all are applying legally through our imm. atternoys. So the atternoys who are member of AILAs should raise the issue very seriously.

At least the atternoys should take the initiative to get the real information regarding the delays, rather then waiting to BCIS ice age legacy pdf file which AILA gets irregularly.

AILA please help us.

Will processing time ever improve ??? or atlest realistic.

I am fully fustrated due to the processing delay thinking to go back...

thanks

Why AILA may not want to help...

If you are an immigration lawyer:
Will it not get you more fees every time a stuck 485 applicant applies for EAD AP etc?
Wont a difficult RFE response improve your earnings
especially potential applicants are going to reduce in number because of reduced H1 and tighter L visa applications?
as soon as you get 485 approved how many will be calling the lawyers let alone pay for the distressed lawyers fund? :)

So why should AILA be genuinely bothered about speed in fact they have economic incentives in the delayed 485 processing.

what would you do if you were AILA ?


As far as going back ...
it may be nice if you are really thru with US life.
Anyways a lot of Indians go back after kids grow up or when their medical bills start mounting due to old age
But if you are doing it because 485 is not approved then thats a wrong reason because very rarely a 485 is denied.
so once you have come this far might as well wait for additional 6-12 months yes thats the max you may have to wait beyond your originaly expected approval date

hi,

i understand your frustration and you are absolutely correct in pointing out that maybe it takes much less time than the usual 365 to 540 days (and even more for some luckless friends), but you know what giving up at this point of time is not an option. you've struggled a long way (think about your labor processing and i-140 processing delays) and it's just a matter of time b4 your 485 comes through. we all believe in almighty god and definitely at some point of time in future he/she will be knid enough to expedite the processing.

now get yourself together, be strong and hold your patience, we are all with you so don't feel alone in this struggle.

AILA or ALIF might not be the answer. Frankly ,what we need is a lawyer/lawfirm whose bread and butter does not depend on immigration. Surely, we cannot expect AILA and ALIF lawyers to sue BCIS and ruin relationships with them forever. In another post by waytoolong, the DV folks used lawyers who are not dependant on BCIS for their livelihood. Instead of troubling the AILA lawyers, we should seek the support of those same (DV) lawyers. The profile of James Noonan(DV lawyer) looks very sound. Rajiv and Murthy are very good and competent, but we should not trouble them with these cases as it can cause conflict of interest.

Sai,
Please visit AILF home page and check the legal action center, you'll find lot of lawsuit by AILF against USCIS.

You know how the processing speed increased in 2000, AILF threatened class action lawsuit against legacy INS for processing delays.
 
I know about the ALIF lawsuit. "But will a 'single' lawyer belonging to AILA/ALIF sue USCIS strongly and not be affected" is the issue here. I do understand that some lawyers have done it in the past, but should we not use someone who is a reputed class action litigator, and does not give a damn about USCIS.
