Complete view of March to June timelines for CSC

[GaryC 7]

Gary

Thanks so much for posting this. It really gives us some solid data from which we can theorize.

So here are my theories.

My first thought is this. The RFE's de-sorted the applications. And, in order to be fair, applications would have to be resorted. But the powers that be probably rationalized thus: Since there are no doubt a number of early NOA1's who for whatever reason were late getting the RFE back, somebody made a decision that re-sorting would be a logistical nightmare for them. So they decided to let the chips fall where they may (or June, March or April, if you will). (except July and August are put behind in line behind the March through June lump.)

Now, as to why the approvals are slowing. I think I've heard murmerings that the NVC is swamped, so they must have told the Centers to slow down? (Say it ain't so!!)

GOD HELP US ALL!!

Nice theory but it also does not hold up. My IMBRA RFE was in the first batch. The got it on July 6. I have seen people with IMBRA RFE's much later than mine get approved. I thought about putting in the RFE data but it was just as random as the NOA1 dates. Since they USED to go by NOA1 dates as the standard for processing orders I just left it out. It only confused things.

What about answers to the RFE questions? Could it be that most of the hold overs answered yes to the question of meeting through a marriage agency?

Doubt it. I didn't answer yes.

I think this is the time when all of us affected should wirte toour congressman/woman. They ahve just changed their timelines for the K-1 to Feb 23rd!!! this will make it appear as if they are doing their job with marchers and aprilers...which we know they are not.

I think this is the time for all of us to fight back...

also, it would be nice to have the approval list of those that filed after the whole IMBRA mess, it would show how fast they are approving the post Imbra applications and the unfairness of it all...

...just playing the devil's advocate. It does seem that there is no getting around the fact that this sh*t is utterly random.

Doth Sucketh!

Gary,

You cleaned up a list that Devilette and myself put together that was fairly complete with information from both the CSC listings and NSC listings... Do you have that in Word or Excel that you can send me? This was from 2-3 weeks ago. This might help fill out with some of those who have not yet updated or changed their service center listing.

She is there, #20. I got this info from a timeline search. The results don't give your screen name. It gives you the names you put on your timeline.

If you get the .doc file from me and open it in MSWord the names are clickable. They will take you to the persons info page.

Does anyone know a place I could post this file to and provide a link? It might help if we all send it to our congressmen.

I don't have that one. It was just a post. You could go back and look for it.

WOW! I knew it was random approvals but I am truely shocked by what I saw....there really is no pattern or logic to this whole process...unbelievable. I am so sick and tired of this waiting game, and our hands are tied in this situation.

[GaryC 7]

Ok, To make it easier I converted my chart to a web page. You can find it here:

http://gary.cornelius.home.insightbb.com/

If you click on the names it will take you to that members page so you can see their screen name.

Update your timelines and I will try to update this at least once a week.

Also, I encourage ALL of you to write your congressmen and point them to my page. It just might shake things loose!!

I made these charts to send to my elected officials. But it put things in perspective for me so well I thought I would share them. These are jpg screen shots of the charts. If anyone wants the original .doc files PM me with your email and I will send them. You will need MS Word to look at the original doc files. Wordpad makes them look jumbled.

I filtered the list to show only K-1 petitions submitted to or transferred to the CSC with dates starting March 6 (the day IMBRA went into effect and everything seemed to fall apart) to the last petition approved for a June NOA1 date. It is sorted by NOA1 dates from earliest to latest. I also included the total number of days it took for approved petitions. Here is the breakdown of the approved vs waiting petitons. As you can see it is pretty close to random.

March:..........81 total petitions...........47 approved...........34 waiting

April:............60 total petitions...........37 approved...........23 waiting

May:.............62 total petitions...........32 approved...........30 waiting

June:............26 total petitions...........13 approved...........13 waiting

You need to download the pictures to your computer and view them at 100% or you can't read them. Just clicking on the link gives me a crappy view in a browser. For those less computer savy here is how you do it.

Right click on the link, choose "save Target as" and pick a spot on your computer to save. Then open with your favorite picture viewer! If things look blurry make sure you are viewing at 100%.

I would have posted the pictures in a post but they take up a lot of real estate. So here are the links.

Enjoy!!

Weird! About half the petitions for each of the months of March through June have been approved. I can't imagine what's up with that.

Gary, this is great. Thanks so much for doing it, especially the web page which was easy to print out.

I'm faxing everything to Obama's office on Monday morning. I assume you will do the same for Durbin's office? Somehow, some way, maybe we'll get answers this week?

thanks again

Already faxed to Oboma's office and emailed to Durbin. But the more the merrier I say!

DAHAMN!!! That's awesome Gary. Thanks a bunch. I thought someone would one day do this. Would you mind if I redirect everyone to your list?

Hip-Hip-Horay!
