Won't this solve the long wait?

Tell me what you think about this. There are sooo many people waiting legally to get their green cards or their families. The backlog is astounding. I believe that the long waiting is due to the amount of people applying versus the small amount of people employed to handle the number of applicants. Yes, there are a few centers in some states (CA, TX, etc.) but there is only one main CIS office that issues the quota, issues the visa number, etc. Think about it, if there were two main CIS office, the waiting time would be cut in half! One main office can handle half of the applications, and turn over the other half to the second main office. Also, each city should have a small CIS branch (just like there are DMVs in every city) to address questions and to aid applicants. There will probably be less illegal immigrants too if there is a local CIS office nearby! What do you think?
 
Wishful Thinking !

Well after years of backlog,this would have been in effect long time ago, after all it makes common sense. However, why should they cater to the interest of immigrants ? Why ? The decisions are always guided by what is in their interest ?

Why do you think the US enters the N-deal with India only now after decades of neglect ? It is because its in the long term interest of US. I believe it will help US to counter the Chinese trade monopoly and also help reduce its own energy prices.

I agree with you, the US will not solve the current backlog problem if they will not reap the benefits that they want from it. But if there's enough interest on the part of the immigrants, the US will cave in. Nobody complains about the backlog, that's why it's not being addressed. We only complain to ourselves and our friends but we don't organize and present our case. Look at Proposition 187, that will greatly benefit the US economy but because the people protested, it never passed. If the immigrants who are waiting put up a formal complaint and demand for a change, it may happen. I'm not saying that the problem will immediately be solved, but they will finally take a look at it and devise some solutions.
