All VJ friends

VSC is throwing all their responsibilities and their nepotism to CSC. Lot of cases are being transfered to CSC. Lets analyse the trend for a month and see what happens to the processing time for CSC and VSC.

Why USCIS does not distribute the load equally to CSC and VSC to start with and then monitor their respective performances and award or punshment accordingly.

May be they can hire me for management consulting...I will not charge them a damn dime. Value added management...

Lets watch for some times and see how the curves for VSC and CSC converge or diverge. That will draw the distingtion between the two.

Since throughput is determined not by the last date they are working on but the number of petitions processed over a given period of time, you can't judge throughput based on the only data we are given.

Load-leveling from the start makes sense but only if they are also factoring in time-slicing -- how much time is given to a specific petition class. So if Vermont is devoting only 10% of its time to IR1/CR1s and California is devoting 50% of its time to them, splitting the load 50/50 isn't going to provide the numbers everyone would prefer to see.

More to the point, because CSC is getting leftovers from Vermont does not mean that their throughput will slow. It just means that it will take them longer to get through the stack.

All I am going to say that this situation with VSC is disgusting and I am happy for the people who getting out of that blackhole as they say. This did also caused another thing which is 0 K3 and I130 approvals so far this week for CSC filers. I hope they dont ignore our cases forever.

I am happy that old VSC cases are being transfered to CSC. People waiting too long are finally getting their due.

I don't think so. Looking at the trend, I think CSC is very efficient and fair in terms of the time they take to complete their cases. There is clearly a lesson, rather lessons, to learn for VSC from CSC. Hope they do that!

You know it's a double edge sword for us all....

The people whom are coming from the VCS might be processed a bit faster.....

However the people who were already at the CSC might take a bit longer since the work load was increased.

I had gotten three touches this month.. I was getting excited.... then the transfers came from VSC and nothing since..

Don't get me wrong I am happy for anyone who gets there cases finished... I just hope it doesn't change the CSC in to a office like the VSC and we all suffer a slowdown..

David, I really hope you are right becuase the thought of our slowing down making me sick. By the way I am also in Portland.

David, I like your optimism but looking at the data, which as a engineer is in my blood, that it doesnt look too promosing for CSC filers. I have been keeping close track with approvals and Igor's list it has been 0 K3 and 0 I130 approval this workweek for CSC filers. It could have been that people might be getting approval mails or email slow or update is not done yet but comparing 30 or 40 approvals in each of previous weeks to none this week is a horific change. Understand that some people pointed out that its just small percentage of people on VJ but its the best random data we have which statiscally represent very small margin of error.

VSC people, please dont think I am against your transfer cases, but this whole USCIS system is peice of $#!@. I am happy for all those approvals you guys geting and hope to get one for us too. I will be just happy to see atleast 1-2 approvals of k3 and 130 for CSC filers so that we know they are not ignoring us.
