If you read the Ombudsman reports, it's easier to generate theories about this...

As I've mentioned in other posts, USCIS tends to push contract workers from task to task and office to office like fleas in a barnyard. I strongly suspect that contract workers have been pulled from other locations, including Vermont, to get the CSC results we're seeing now. Your government in action. This is not a good system.

Again, everyone should be writing letters and trying to get some attention focused on this situation. If you're interested, please contact me. AOS and Interim Benefits are coming. If you think the petition phase is a pain, wait till you get a load of what's ahead...Don't wait. Do something now.

Who should I be writing to? I have already contacted my congressman' s office.

Start hitting up the doors of the local media...radio show hosts, newspaper reporters, anyone who'll listen. Once we've managed to get some local attention, we can put together a noteworthy press kit to send to people on the national level. As I've said in other posts, it's best to read the Ombudsman reports (annual from 2004-2006). The links can be found in the following thread within one of my posts. Reading that post will also help a bit. Know all the facts. Make phone calls, write letters. The more the media hears from people, the more they'll understand that there's a real story here. Start local. Let me know who you're going to contact so that others here can send to the same people. The more letters or phone calls one person in the media gets, the more that individual will be likely to see that this is a valid and newsworthy issue.

The media has the ability to put pressure on the government officials who manage and oversee USCIS. Currently, none of those people has to do a darned thing...and they don't show much interest in doing so. Time to start turning up the heat. We need to start putting DHS and the USCIS congressional oversight committee in a very uncomfortable place. The media is the best way to accomplish that. If you're interested in talking more about what's happening and getting on board with those of us who are working to make a difference, please PM or email me. I'd love to hear from you.
