I found this old post on VJ. Most of you might have seen this already, but I find it really interesting. It answers how USCIS is working on our papers. It may give some insights on the adjudication/process delays. Read on guys... http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/220499-k-1-petition-information/

I understand... but I wanted to point out on one of the interview question that is, if "in just a few minutes, they adjudicate 15-20 petitions a day per person"...why are approvals so slow then?

Also, as I pointed in another thread about the interview "Why is VSC taking so long, what happened? I was approved in 58 days!: We had problem with labor last year and lost many workers, we hired more last November and it took some time to get them trained. Some of the petitions were sent to California and we also assign people to different types of visas. They will concentrate on one type, get behind on another and then shift many people back to the other type. Lately we have shifted many, almost all, adjudicators to I-129fs, so that should make people happy. They will do that until they get caught up. Summer is a busy time for I-129fs, usually about June we get slammed with them. The winter or early spring is the slowest time for I-129fs, but then it depends what they have everyone working on also." It's like an Aha! moment... so it means they must have shifted to DACA processing and there was/is a "shift in priorities" of processing/adjudications because of the influx of another immigration agenda by a 'higher' authority (you know who). The suspicion is TRUE then about DACA prioritization. And if this director still exist, why can't this VJ member contact him and ask for help for us? Just a thought ... can they not turn around then and start doing 129-F?? I know they can but when?? That is why the 'crusade' to bombard them with inquiry must go on. =)

There's a queue and there's a priority assigned by type, by the Center Director.

Queue is normal, FIFO, and the priority is changed at whim.

That's it, really. DACA mess up for others? Absolutely ! Why? The Center Director made a decision.

Yes, if you do the math, that means less than 2 people have been working on the K1's. You'd think they would be able to get 1 or 2 more people to work on them and double their pathetic output, but that is too difficult for them. As was said, a decision was made to do this, and we get the shaft because of it.

I hope they hire more people to process the applications. or allow expedite request. in that way they are paid for expedite and will be able to hire more people to process apps and has the money to pay for the newly hired.

Sad . I wonder where our fees are used? Seems unfair

I think there is a hiring freeze for the federal government. There was talk of government furlough, in some branches. If the government can't budget the money, then I doubt they will realize that expedited visa's could generate more money, not to mention that there is a pretty good chunk of money for what I am thinking is only 30 minutes of work for each petition...

I'd be more than willing to pay for expedite than wait. But it seems like this will only be a dream

Isn't that a ridiculous situation where just one Center Director has the power to make a single solitary important decision like that and has this ability to majorly delay and keep legal law abiding couples apart? And USC who are going through the proper process/procedures get shafted? It is a shame that we as law abiding United States Citizens do not take precedence over illegal law breaking individuals who are rewarded in such a way that they get golden tickets to continue living their lives quickly, even though they are already here in the USA. Is there any rhyme or reason that can help me understand this better? Because this really looks so BAD on the California Service Centers part in all this. What is even worse, my own k-1(I-209F) is at CSC and this is heartbreaking!

[Robb&Ann 101]

found this in youtube. the petition was actually made by Robb last January. too bad it only got less than 100 signatures compared to some petitions that just makes no sense when i visit petition.whitehouse.gov. if only we can request for an expedite then they would have more money to hire and pay people to do the work and we will all be happy with our loved ones being in the US already. this petition had expired already without even getting atleast 100 signatures.

Agreeing with Brother Darnell with most, but would like to suggest another probability: The Center Director is following orders from the VERY top, meaning the very very top who devised and ordered the implementation of the DACA program to begin with.

I have read this before in a post about ( pay for expedite ). fact is this would still be unfair for those who can not afford it. and can be looked at as a bribe imo
