"A day in the life of USCIS"

[4Lifer 0]

It appears completely irresponsible whether there are 16,000 or 7,000 employees processing petitions. I would love to know exactly what is involved with the approval process. It appears the petitions are reviewed prior to issuing an NOA1. I wonder how difficult it could be to go ahead and run the approval process from that point as opposed to "touching" the petition several times over the next 7 or 8 months.

The first sentence will give you an idea of the bang up job they believe they do. Maybe they do, and it's just Vermont dragging the numbers down eh?

Opener

"Each day USCIS fulfills its promise to provide

accurate and useful information to our customers"

Enjoy!

Lets play a little devil advocate. 40500, called yesterday too to see if their petition is approved that they sent out two months ago. If people would be patient and trust the process they could spend that money on more adjudicators and less operators.

"Additionally, USCIS responds to 41,000 phone inquiries daily"

40999 of those requests receive made up answers that further complicate the situation. The other call is a wrong number.

It's easy for you to make that comment because you were approved in 2 months. Don't lecture the people who are venting because they are at six, seven, eight, nine, or ten months, just because you got a lucky break. Have sympathy for them, and remain quiet.

well im k1 and i have to say this is the biggest lie or misleading representation of what any of the service offices do that i have ever seen

their real job if it was stated CORRECTLY is to mislead, lie, and generally make a mess out of anyones application that is late......

they get holidays off and have the guts to tell u HAPPY HOLIDAYS and we hope that we have answered ur inquiries.......

excuse me NOOOO YOU DID NOT their answer.................. im sorry but that is all the information that we have and no we can not transfer u to a human that may really be able to help u or give u more information than we have ..........

now thats what they need to really put on that site not some trumped up ####### that even a five year old could see past after their second contact with them

That's because you took forever getting your stuff to NVC (according to your own timeline you filled out). Those of us waiting 8-10 months have had all our stuff ready like 6 months ago and will be able to fly through NVC in a couple of weeks.

By all means, you can trust their process...they haven't let you down...but they have let us down!

I made a coment about phone calls, which turned into I am lecturing.... A little dramatic wouldn't you say??? Why don't you take 1 message and assign your own meaning then have a pity party with it. I was talking about phone calls not anyones long wait or the USCIS process. When I say trust the process, I mean the spiritual process. Which ever higher power that may be for you and yours. If you have none, then run around and be bitter and angry about the USCIS's process.

No my lawyer that we hired mailed our items in late. It takes me discovery VisaJourney to realize that he was taking his time wth our time sensitive docments. Took him one month to tell us about the NVC fee needed. Then we over night the check to him and he take 3 weeks to mail it to NVC. I paid to delay my case. My husband should have been here by Decmeber 07 or May 08 with the AP. He couldn't have come at a better time. And only would he come at that time.

Well, I had a couple beers, then got pizzed, called USCIS, and gave the poor operator a piece of my mind. Shouldnt have, I know, but felt good to vent. She asked me if I realize how many they get a day (petitions) and I told her that to process 3 or 4 a day that rrequire maybe 15 minutes isnt exactly a huge workload there. Told her they all get to go home to their families at Christmas while we remain seperated from our own, and that just stinks. She said they are doing the best they can, and I said "yeh, going to the 6 month time frame, then back to March 8 or whatever, and showing an advance of only 4 days then in a month". I asked here exactly where is my petition in this process, and she said it is in March. I said "yeh, right, as of September! But what about as of December???" She said she knows only what I know. She said 'have a great day" and I said "yeh, right, if I was with my spouse". Anyways, you get the point. I made an azz of myself and vented, and accomplished nothing, I know... other than getting my anger out.... The lazy bums...................

MYy luck I probably messed things up for me too... but then, I dont reckon an operator who only has access to a write protected data base could mess me up... I hope not.

I will write about my day too

" A day in the life of a wife waiting for her visa"

I think will be more dramatic than in USCIS.

Poor them!!!!

[Y's_habibitk 2]

Yes, it's a rough life at USCIS, but someone has to do it.

You said trust THEIR process...not God's process or a "spiritual" process.

Yeah, we have pity parties every week. It's called the "NO touches NO approvals" thread. Sorry you weren't invited, but it's only for us bitter and angry people running around like a bunch of Godless animals.
