But this article is EXTREMELY incorrect and spreading misinformation.

UE Local 1008 means contract workers for USCIS not permanent jobs..

Those were not federal case workers.

 

Thanks for the reference.   It sounds like this is not a permanent reduction in cases.  I am sure there will be a temporary disruption but once things settle down; everything will be good.  It is just a pain because those of us that are affected feel cheated.  However, in the big picture, what is a few months delay?  Nothing really.

Sorry I couldn’t reply earlier, I was busy *working* at my WFH job. But yes, the post said the employees are ineffective, hence the contract workers. My reply was that they just laid off 450 of said contract workers in favor of hiring officers.

Yeah exactly how you said! Everyone else thinks the same, it won't make a difference in the long run. It's just a small temp disruption. naturally still not nice for them to lose their jobs though, but it isn't USCIS' fault.

I see they are now working on those "skipped" cases so you will hear back soon.

so they are knocking out FEB-MAY cases at a rapid clip.

"rapid clip" LMAO what a joke. still at a screeching halt. and the best part is those of us with PH beneficiaries are SOL because the medical exam cost is going up in August, and we have no choice but to pay because we were unlucky enough to file in this HYPER SPECIFIC set of dates that just got skipped for no good reason, with no communication or explanation. but yeah, we should just be all smiles and give USCIS all the kudos and backpats while a we wait, and a decent number of filers AFTER us, get approved before us, and in barely over a month at that. yeah, good. 👍

Feel exactly the same. March 4 filer here, part of the skipped period, and there is still no movement from our week, only expedite approval cases. The approvals from march and Feb are just dates that are already mostly approved already, not the untouched days. & USCIS doesn't want to acknowledge that at all and just pretends like nothings going on with it. Meanwhile there has been mass approvals in May and a lot of them under 50 days.
