Interestingly enough, those times flip flop back and forth between the two service centers. I think it is a conspiracy. The employees just move back and forth between the two locations so when one is hot no one is at the other :wacko:

I have never understood why the applications don't go to a central location and then be distributed equally to the various service centers. This who regional division is typical bureaucratic nonsense.

Also, somebody needs to look at VSC and deliver the appropriate firings. The center should have been moved to the other performance oriented states a long time ago. I bet the same applications would be processed in 1/4 the time if it was located in NY, NJ, MD or VA.

Great. Just when my app gets forwarded to CSC.

Edited by Aficionado

According to the Internal Revenue Service, the 400 richest American households earned a total of $US138 billion, up from $US105 billion a year earlier. That's an average of $US345 million each, on which they paid a tax rate of just 16.6 per cent.

The confusing party is the VSC usually processes K applications faster than CSC but when we get to removal of conditions down the road CSC is A LOT faster.

I agree that it should be a national center distributing so to keep all service centers working at the same speed.
