Will these applications go into the back of line or will they get to bypass all the other applications? This new action is beyond ridiculous and is a slap on the face of all who filed legally.

USCIS is almost certainly under considerable political pressure to process these as a top priority. 0bama needs to show movement on this in order to trumpet success and (presumably) gain Hispanic votes before the November election.

However, no new USCIS personnel have been hired to handle the influx, no extra funds have been allocated for processing, and no personnel WILL be hired until the income from the $465 applications is enough to do so. (The illegals can apply for a fee waiver, too, so an unknown number of "free" applications will have to be processed.)

I so agree that this is a slap in the face, especially to those filing right now and paying fees. These folks will be bumped up because it is an election year and Obama wants and needs the votes.

I'm not opposed to fee waivers for children born on American soil. They didn't choose this life for themselves, nor did they ask for it. But all adults should go through the same process and FEES as the rest of us are to get our spouses, fiancees, etc., here and they should have to face the same criteria of income and assets so they also do not become a public charge.

To add... Don't get me started on Welfare and Child support!

i have question

why the heck should we ALL suffer for the short comings of the parents not providing greencards for their kids as growing up maybe we all should show our support for the DNC and complain and vote them hell OUT of office as this is only for election votes

They will go on the pile along with all new applications. All applications are filed legally, even those which are denied, regardless of type of visa or situation.

This is the second thread in which you've claimed this. Link & source, please.

That is how all applications are handed.

[TBoneTX 45,287]

"HandLed," more likely. Please don't underestimate the political priority of this new program. It was by Executive Order just months before the upcoming election. If you have a link + source, please provide it; if not, see preceding sentence. Edited August 19, 2012 by TBoneTX

I concur...it my best diplomatic voice! :rofl:

I was thinking that if we collectively sent a petition to request that applications be distributed so that they have a fair shot at being processed in a reasonable time frame (i.e. less than 5 months) that might be more effective then sending individual letters to congressmen/women.

I do realize that VJ is non affiliated but with public information, we can easily tell there is a delay going on. Obviously USCIS is under no obligation to do anything, sometimes making a little noise gets somebody higher up putting pressure on the right person. My experience with gov't organizations is that they don't have financial reasons to work efficiently, but it only takes a little incentive from the right entity to get things moving.

The squeaky wheel gets the oil, but no employee at the VSC is going to squeak for us.

I made this on signon.org. I tried to be considerate of others who are waiting.
