There may be no specialised education required for the position, but there is specialised training required. Most adjudicating officers are sent to a training "college" to learn how to interpret the regulations.

Point taken. I am sure there are lots of security checks to pass as well. My guess is those security checks take a week like any normal job applicant in the private sector, not the 4-6 months it takes the USCIS to figure it out.

Sorry, just annoyed with things today. I spent an hour on hold on the Customer "SERVICE" line, and the people there have no idea what IMBRA is, nor that cases in Nebraska are being transferred to Cali. Why do I know more then their employees by peaking at a public website every now and again? I suspect some real problems with management practices at these service centers.

Well, they did a good job for us the first time around, but since ours was sent back for further review I have to admit I am beginning to feel what you are saying.

BTW, the call center isn't even a part of the CIS, but rather an outsourced call center. This is why they have no idea what they are talking about.....cuz they don't!!! :lol:

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF USCIS

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) receives between six and eight million applications and petitions every year. As such, USCIS is the largest immigration service in the world. On a daily basis, the 15,000 federal and contract employees of USCIS accomplish the following at our 250 offices worldwide:

Conduct 135,000 national security background checks

Receive 135,000 visitors to our Internet site (USCIS.gov)

Answer phone inquiries from 82,000 calls to our toll-free customer service phone line

Process 30,000 applications for immigrant benefits

Answer in-person inquiries from 19,000 visitors to information counters at 92 local offices

Issue 7,000 Permanent Resident Cards (green cards)

Capture 8,000 sets of fingerprints at 130 Application Support Centers

Welcome 2,100 new citizens

Welcome 3,500 new permanent residents

Welcome nearly 200 refugees from around the world

Help American parents adopt nearly 80 foreign-born orphans

Grant asylum to 80 individuals already in the United States

Naturalize 20 individuals serving in the United States military

My guess is:

They also give bad information to 15000 callers.

They bust up 5000 families

They lose 100,000 forms.

They deny entry to 5000 people that have perfectly legal visas

We can add:

Create their own backlog by not giving the applicant enough information, creating more mail, e-mails, and phone calls.

No sympathy from me. If a business ran themselves the way immigration does they would be bankrupt and out of business before a year is up.
