Yes. Hopefully things won't be as bad as last time it became a DISservice center. Looks like CSC will be leaving us in the dust soon. They are blazing ahead with approvals. And we are pretty much stagnant. I hope they realize these petitions aren't going to magically adjudicate themselves or just simply vanish from existence because they don't feel like directing the resources to get the work done. This is nuts. It comes down to poor organizational structure, management, and allocation of resources. All things that in the private and even public sector will put you out of business very fast. But the government operates in its own wold. its own universe really. We are caught in their "big machine" and it's about the most poorly designed thing I've ever seen.

It was an executive order that has yet to be enacted. The Dept. of Homeland Security has 60 days to do so. If it does have any impact on the Vermont or California Service Centers, I seriously doubt it will impact existing petitions. If anything, the work waivers would be handled by another Service Center, e.g. Texas, Nebraska.

Yes, and unfortunately, most of the comments being posted are incorrect and they're seeking any possible excuse for why the process is taking longer than the estimated five months.

Yes. the reason for the slow down remains undetermined. CSC seems to be doing just fine with adjudications for K1 right now.

I could be wrong, but in my experience any changes that the President puts in order usually take from a few weeks to a few months to get put into action, and often have to go through a few channels to get approved. I was very surprised to see some of the responses in the political forum here, as many are incorrect and seem to be based on online or TV propaganda. If anything's slowing us down, it's the applications for temporary protection. However, I seem to think that VSC may just have taken it easy for a few weeks with people gone on vacation and now is very behind. My petition didn't have any changes last night.

The order did not change any laws. It simply requested that illegals brought to this country as children should not be a target for deportation. The order does not include any rights to LPR or citizenship.

You are correct. I've been reading the notices and press releases for the presidential orders. The latest one that deals with the waivers will not be effective until protocols are hashed out, which they are expecting around August 15th. I supposed the Service Centers all have their ebb and flow, depending on the priorities at the time.

Next week Sabi. I don't think they'll be breaking into our petitions until then. It appears that the CSR reports were pretty accurate. In general, adjudications were concentrated between 1/09-1/13. I do expect quite a few of us to be pushed into early / mid July now...not fun at all. But there's nothing we can do...We basically filed at the absolute worst possible time this year...I'm going to see if my attorney has received any more approvals from VSC that are after these dates. Of course we've had some approvals here after these dates. but in general, there's been little consistency. CSC has blown us away....blah. I haven't had time to go through any numbers yet. Seen anything Sabi?
