Oversight of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services: Ensuring Agency Priorities Comply with the Law

[LEL 20]

Watch now, they are talking about how many members of staff they have and training etc and DAPA and DACA and the 1000 hires at Crystal City.

[Marco&Bettina 502]

They're currently talking about AP.

[Wooderz 314]

Talking about the legality/illegality of DACA and DAPA now...

This whole thing makes me want to cry and rip my hair out. They insult human intelligence..

[LEL 20]

I keep shouting "Don't lie"!!!

[Not a Tailor 1,370]

Aha, talking about how backlogs are addressed and resources are deployed.

[Marco&Bettina 502]

I keep shouting "Don't lie"!!!

I was saying the same thing at that part.

Aha, talking about how backlogs are addressed and resources are deployed.

They didn't spend enough time on the backlog subject, or even differences of the Service Centers. They only care about DAPA/DACA right now.

[Not a Tailor 1,370]

It's intensely obvious that the senator speaking, Mr. Sessions, does not understand at ALL how USCIS operates in regards to LEGAL immigration or what kinds of evidence are expected from ANYONE. He's acting like this is some kind of thing that USCIS has never done before--evaluating applications.

And yeah, no, they didn't talk about that long enough.

I WAS glad to see that USCIS employs so many vets.

It ended without addressing the issues that plague legal immigration nor our issue in particular. How very disappointing.

I became annoyed at how policy-type questions were being asked of these three when they have no effect on such policy making. They simply implement according to the policies that they are given. Ergo, they do what they're told. I would have much preferred to see a more helpful discussion about things that they have direct control over, such as backlogs and the I-129F processing time imbalance in particular.

But it was really more of a forum for political statement, not agency oversight.

I just read that the DHS has been funded but I guess the expanded DACA and DAPA are still being blocked through the courts?

Yes. As of today the injunction remains in effect.

[Cyberfx1024 7,978]

Yes. As of today the injunction remains in effect.

Good. I am glad there is an injunction against it. Why should people that are here illegally be put above those of us who have done everything legal? Just before the injunction I sent in a check for ROC on my wife's green card. I was half tempted not to send it in the money in protest, then my smart wife talked some sense into me.

OUTREACH TO CONGRESS YIELDED QUESTIONS IN OUR INTERESTS (I listened to all 3 hours)

Senator Cruz received communications about Legal before Illegal petitions and about the DACA AP game which would make DACA inspected admission and then those with Family/Employer based support for AOS to LPR could ------- this could be 3 - 5 million additional persons. This versus 500,000 AOS processed currently per the Associate Director of Field Directorate Mr. Renaud in testimony. HOW MANY YEARS WILL YOU WAIT FOR AOS IN 2016 ???????????

Senator Tillis about no name checks on DACA applications. LPR has Name Check with derivate re-verification of alternative names.

Senator Sessions received copies of the Legal before Illegal petitions with associated backlog findings.

Senator Sessions points out the Affidavit and Fake Document game with DACA. No field support. No cross-verification support. New hires. An impossibility for responsible implementation

MOST IMPORTANTLY: 3 Total Staff at Crystal City online... without the stay, the workload have would crushed the other departments.

ANOTHER POINT: OUTREACH WORKS

Again, outreach to these Members resulted in representation of some of the common concerns of persons in the legal immigrant community.

Furthering the point, we all must write more letters and continue the outreach.
