I think there is a good argument here both ways, actually. I'm not against the DACA program itself. I think it makes a ton of sense. I also realize there have been far more DACA applicants than I-129F petitioners (at the CSC and in total) over the time period I analyzed and that DACA approvals help DACA petitioners find jobs. And I'm not actually criticizing the fact that DACA app processing, from filing to approval, takes far less on average than the I-129F processing.
What I am criticizing, however, is that fact that the USCIS has singled out I-129F petitioners to bear a delay in processing as they handle DACA apps. I could understand if there was some delay for I-129Fs, some delay for other visas types as well, and that DACA apps were getting processed with some delay as well. That would be the equitable way to deal with the flood of DACA apps. But that's not how the CSC is dealing with them. The CSC just selected the I-129Fs to bear the full force of the slowdown while maintaining other application types at fast processing pace, including the new DACA apps. You can see this in the Completions Per Receipts figures.
This is horribly unfair to the I-129F petitioners, who also are negatively affected (economically and emotionally) by their separation from their loved ones. Due to the limitations of the USCIS structure (they use low fees to guarantee access to services and then apply a portion of those fees to support their non-fee services, such as refugee applications), everyone expects some delay in working through them and most of the time petitioners here grin and bear it. But to have a processing center deal with an petitioner class in this way for the benefit of other class is far from equitable. And what makes it worse is that the CSC has been completely opaque about it; they can manipulate their processing time frame to avoid accountability and they never have to publicly disclose shenanigans like this, otherwise. Go look through the spreadsheet I posted with the OP. It shouldn't take that much work to get a straight answer at what they're up to. The reason they make it so difficult is because they know what they are doing is wrong and they are likely just doing it for the wrong reasons (political pressure).

I wonder if there is a media story in this? Could it be worth getting this information and analysis to a journalist interested in DACA?

If anything I would criticize people for being too patient.
I have spent so much time looking at the numbers for the past 4 months, I can't just give up on everyone else who is still waiting. I won't be happy until CSC is doing their job like they supposed to.

You're very welcome. Now, if only someone who could affect the process would pay attention to these figures. It really couldn't be clearer that I-129Fs alone have been slowed down so that DACAs may be processed more quickly. Please feel free to pass it on to your congressman or senator.

And I-129F petitioners deserve to be reunited with their loved ones. Can you not think of what it's like to be in our shoes? Many I-129F petitioners are suffering a great deal of economic hardship (supporting a loved one overseas) and emotional hardship due to the separation. Furthermore, there are many situations (pregnancy, medical, domestic violence) that often make prolonged I-129F processing dangerous to the beneficiary. Have you no heart? Do you not care about those people?
Look, at the end of the day, I think the DACA program makes a lot of sense from a policy standpoint. But it does not make sense to hurry those applications through at the expense of a single other petitioner class. Everyone makes sacrifices by going through the USCIS. (Remind me, again, what the "C" stands for, by the way...) But to ask a single class of citizen petitioners to wait extra months while they process DACA apps at a historically brisk rate is just wrong. And they know it's wrong, which is why they never announce what they are actually doing and instead bury it in the data.
If you doubt me, I defy you to go visit the analysis I conducted on that data.

I'm all in favor of DACA. I just think that it's been rushed. USCIS should have been given additional funding and time to organize the logistics of handling the DACA cases before the first applications were ever accepted. If anyone is to blame, it's the current administration, and Congress for rushing things.
With some visa types taking literally years to obtain, USCIS already has enough on their plate without having this to deal with.
We're all just lucky that sequestration hasn't seemed to have an effect on USCIS.

The problem I have is that the workload of the USCIS has increased greatly and now they are way behind. It is very poor capacity planning on the part of the government.
I do have empathy for the young people like the ones in the video who petition and can benefit from DACA and want to stay in America. That said, I don't buy the way that the video depicted the US government and justice system as some 'big mean deportation bully' that has to be softened up. The fact of the matter is, these kids are picking up the tab because their parents or relatives didn't think about the consequences of their actions. Now the government is stepping in to try to alleviate the situation and, unfortunately, not thinking about the consequences of their actions. And everyone on here is picking up that tab.
The jury is still out on whether DACA is really helping these people. The video didn't cite any testimony or statistics that these kids are getting a favorable outcome. Some social programs work and some are ill-conceived. It's just too soon to tell.
