It is my contention that the tsunami of DACA applications has inundated USCIS and brought about the virtual standstill of adjudication of all manner and types of visas. The number of applications tendered to USCIS during this "DACA-tsunami" numbered over 469,000 applications in the period between Aug 15, 2012 through March 15, 2013! :wow:

I would be pleasantly amazed if the service centers were not awash (or buried) in paper, and that is not even considering the reported plumbing issues at the CSC. :lol:

It is little wonder that folks all over the forum are experiencing delays in the processing of their visas. :blink:

Hopefully this tsunami of work will abate in the near future.

YMMV.

It's also my contention, sigh man. See the USCIS Service Centers forum (formerly moribund) for countless gripes about processing-rates. I'm mystified that so few implicate, yet alone criticize, the one man who decreed that the DACA program would be created and be implemented as a political priority, starting in August of his re-election year. Everyone chiefly blames USCIS, which (inefficient as it normally is) was only following orders.

Edited to add: See this link within VJ, and especially the external link within it, see man:

That would be a good start, since USCIS is part of DHS and DHS is part of the executive branch of the Federal government, and Obama is the head of the executive branch. It is all about political pandering….
