I stumbled on these a while ago, lost them, and found them again. I thought they might give a rough (albeit vague) idea of what happens. A little old, from 2002, but it's still interesting reading

Awesome find, Carrie! These are similar to the reports I was paraphrasing that are no longer available.

Now That You Are A Permanent Resident

Inertia. Is that the Greek god of 'can't be bothered'?

Thanks Carrie,

Whatever happened to the Premium Processing Program? On one hand we shouldn't have to pay $1,000 to get a level of service that should be standard. On the other hand I, and probably a lot of other people, wouldn't mind paying $1,000 to get a 15-day turnaround.

The sad thing is that here it is 3-years later, and the TSC isn't even processing I-129f and CSC is in some kind of a slow time warp. All the money from those year 2002 Premium Processing charges must have gone directly to the VSC.

Premium processing is not for I 129F. It is for scientis trying to attend conferences or musicians performing in concerts.

My biggest question was, and still is this...

IF TSC is so back up and behind, that they need to pawn off their 129F's on another service center... why not send those applications to the FASTEST service center... instead of sending them to the 2nd slowest service center? It just seems like a very dumb decision to me.
