Byrun I would assume that the 60 day time frame is a CYA disclaimer. The good news is that they processed the information you sent back quickly and the adjudicator should be actively working your petition again.

I hope you see your approval soon. There is not much to talk about in the Colombia forum these days so we need you to get down to Bogota as soon as possible for your interview. :)

Once again....I hate to be the bearer of bad news. The REASON we all see our estimated adjudication dates have come closer by almost 2 weeks is due to TWO petitions being approved in 18-20 days.

Carly and Evan Canada NOA1 10/1 NOA2 10/22

Misa and Kat Cuba NOA1 10/2 NOA2 10/18

these FAST approvals have messed up those dates until more realistic dates are entered into the timelines. This is why we've seen such a change. Just wait...they will move back again as soon as other wait times are entered.

This process is rediculously easy and the USCIS is screwing it up at every level from Cust service to long range strategic planning.

Or, maybe I am way off base here.

No, I don't think you are off base at all.

The problems currently being experienced by USCIS were to a great extent self generated. They were not caused by an cataclysmic event such as 911 or by unexpected legislation action such as the IMBRA regulations. Instead the current situation was caused by a management decision that created an avalanche of petitions without having the manpower in place to handle it. This should have been anticipated and could have easily been mitigated by phasing in the price increases so that an overwhelming surge of petitions was avoided.

Obviously an ajudicator requires training and it is not possible to just call up a temp agency and order up a few dozen extra for the month. I assume that USCIS management was aware of this fact before they took the steps they did. However, not only did they not have enough adjudicators in place when they announced the price increase they did not even have enough low level contract employees to do the receiving.

When I began investigating this process VSC was consistently adjudicating K1 petitions within 30 to 60 days. It is now approaching 6 months and there is no sign of improvement. What has actually changed to cause this huge deterioration in service? The adjudication process is no different today than it was 9 months ago. Employment visas have priority over K1's & K3's today but I think that was the case previously also. There may have been more than anticipated employment based petitions due to some decisions outside the control of USCIS but those petitions should have been absorbed and processed by now. The government emphasis on Iraqi petitions may have caught them by surprise but they already knew how many Iraqi petitions were pending and that they had the obligation to process them.

As I see it the problem comes down to this. USCIS management decided they needed to upgrade their systems and they needed more money to pay for the upgrades. I have no objection to that. Obviously their systems are antiquated and need to be updated. But by the same token the existing systems were providing decisions in a reasonable amount of time. What bothers me is that management put in place a plan that was destined to cause delays and hardship for thousands (or is it millions?) of their current so called customers in the hope that 4 or 5 years down the road their service will improve.

Is this good management? I don't think so.

At this point USCIS customers are arguing about who should have priority and wondering when they will be with the ones they love. Meanwhile the people in management who created this mess go home to their families every night. I think that we have the right to be upset.

And on top of that they closed all the other centers and left only Vermont and CSC open to deal with our petitions.

Well it´s cuz the average projected dates are now screwed due to the September approvals I think.

Don´t worry Byron, they just seem to enjoy talking about the 60 days these days...once you are approved it usually takes up to a week for you to receive the hardcopy...but then who knows how long it will take them to get it to NVC...

Something happened. They left us comments that they did not expedite and have NO CLUE why they were approved. Im glad they did...but have to wonder HOW that one or the September ones happened. Im pretty sure my request to expedite will be denied. Its rare they approve those.

Good luck Byron and Mirla
