    Here we pay 590 for what?? an 8-9 month wait from Vermont. These delays are so unreasonable given how high the fees are.
    I talked to the folks at Vermont the day before, I'll tell you how it happened. Basically, they say the wait for RoC at Vermont is expected to increase to a year.
    I went to hand deliver the RoC package at the VSC at 75 Welden St. At the gate, the guard asked me if I was a "bonded courier" - I said no. He said then he couldnt allow me to enter, but I could drop it off at the Post Office nearby or at UPS pick up point in the Staples store. The guard was friendly and sympathetic, no attitude was shown.
    Luckily, as it was lunch break and the weather was perfect, there were lots of employees in and around the parking lot. Everybody there is friendly and courteous, far nicer then the folks at the New York office. I went up to a group of 3 and tried to start a conversation, but they seemed uninterested. Undaunted, I said goodbye and walked over to a group of 4 - 2males and 2 females, and here I was lucky. They were very willing to talk, and said after telling them I am in the RoC phase, they told me their workload is increasing by the week, and they don't have funding to increase the staff.
    When asked, they stated there is little chance of sharing their workload with CSC or field offices as these RoC filings do not fall within the high priority pending cases.
    They also added - and this is the important part - that there are lots of talk going on about Obama's recent decision to allow young illegals to work legally - and they will start accepting applications from the illegals within 60 days, from the date Obama made that announcement. They also said they have been directed to process this oncoming tsunami of applications - they expect uscis to be flooded with 800,000+ applications - on a top priority basis, and will be most likely diverting staff from other immigration applications to processing these.
    So here we are....we, the law abiding folks get kicked to the back of the queue, while the folks whose parents break the law and enter illegally, now get rushed to the front of the line. Fantastic! Way to go, Obama! You sure will win my USC spouses's vote!

    Most people, including me, would be fully agreeable towards prioritizing claims by people from Haiti whose lives have been ruined by the earthquake, no doubt,
    even if it meant our own applications would be delayed.
    Few people would agree to have their own applications delayed because people who clearly broke the law get priority, as is the case now.
    Also, if I recollect correctly, about 30,000 people from Haiti claimed asylum in the US, though I could be wrong, a much smaller number than the 800,000 expected to file now.
