What is the visa approving process?

Do the case workers at the service centers do it or does it go to a different agency like Home Land Security, FBI, etc. ?

Here you'll find information on how they run security checks at USCIS: http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/publicaffair...hecks_42506.pdf

Who processes and verifies the information on our application? Do the case workers at the service centers do it or does it go to a different agency like Home Land Security, FBI, etc. ? Just trying to understand the reasoning with Vermont being faster than California. What are the steps of the process? Thanks!

I know what step is inserted between every process.... the word... SLOW!!!

At Vermont, the application assembled into a file by people who do that, then sent to adjudication and entered into their records (NOA1) then enters the adjudication queue. The adjudicators look at files when they make it to the front of the queue and either approve or RFE.

At California, the application is assembled into a file by people who do that, then sent to adjudication and entered into their records then put in a storage box at the back of the third stall on the second floor ladies' bathroom. Sometimes they move the boxes to clean the toilets, this is known as a "touch." Once every four months, the CSC adjudicator hauls out a box to go through the files and either approves or issues RFE or, if he feels like it, tosses aside unopened. Then he glues the applications to his office ceiling. It takes three to six months for the glue to weaken sufficiently for an application to drop back to the floor. Every morning when he first arrives he picks up the applications that have fallen from the ceiling, and because they have shown the most effort, forwards them to mailroom so the applicants can be notified.

P.S. I made that up.

I think you read the Metamorphosis by Kafka!
