Just wondering if anyone knows when the adjudicators at CSC stop looking at applications?

From an interview with a USCIS adjudicator:

Q What kind of hours do the service centers run? With so many applications I can imagine working a long 9am to 6pm day....

Bear in mind this was 4 years ago... It might have changed. At that time they offered a couple different options. First, if your performance was good and you were experienced enough you could apply to "work from home" or "telecommute", this was of course the favorite. This was largely brought about by a shortage of space in the building. The NSC has since moved to a brand new facility that alleviated the space crisis we faced at that time. (But I'm sure that if they eliminated the work from home program the union might have had something to say about it so it's a fair bet Adjudicators still have this nice option.)

Secondly there was a liberal "flex-time" schedule. Again one of the reasons was the space shortage but that wasn't it entirely. The agency was very family friendly to its employees and tried to keep people happy and make for a nice place to work. There was a lot of stress involved. Offering a flex schedule was one available option to folks.

Basically, as a CIS employee, you could work anytime from 0630 till 6PM as long as your schedule was approved by your boss and you got your 8 hours in.

Because of the amount of work, the agency also used contract services for a lot of the other various non-adjudicating type work. If I recall, the center was a 24/7 operation except for the CIS employees. A lot of the staging and processing of the work we accomplished during the day was done by the contractor at night.

I also think card production had CIS employees on the night shift back then. Hope that answers your question. Cheers.D.

This also might be a question for Gary (of Gary and Alla) to ask the VSC director next time he sees him.

Well, "normal" office hours on the west coast go for 2 1/2 more hours. But I addressed your question in more length in our July thread.

Hope your weekend is somewhat peaceful lol
