this may have cause the jump in processing months- K1

This may have caused the jump for CSC-USCIS to process late November and early December filers. I got this from the thread http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/422555-quick-response-from-ombudsman-csc/

"The Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) processing time at the California Service Center (CSC) has slipped based on competing agency priorities. The CSC is realigning resources to address the processing times for certain forms to include the Form I-129F. As additional officers are assigned to this workload, the center expects to reduce the current processing time for Form I-129F."

..in order for them to say they have reduced the processing time when they next update their website. That seems to be their solution to reduce the processing time, to save face from the Ombudsman... of course, at the expense of not doing much on July to early November filers (which petitions are too late to be within the 4-5 month timeframe)

they updated the date for the month of april they are still stuck with I129f at july and still processing at 7 1/2 months!!!

Thats probably why they are padding . Because they got behind and need to catch up. If they rotate though July, Aug, Sept and Oct slowly and do sooner it will make the numbers look better.

I use to do HP support and sometimes when the queue got to large they would take another group toss them in to take the quick calls to pad the queue time from 1 hr wait to 20 min wait so people moved. The people who sat there for 1 hour already wouldnt complain as much as someone sitting for 30 min. I guess they thought it took the fight out of them.

this padding thing seems unfair. what happened then to 'adjudicating in the order they were received"

the date at the top of the page you are referring to means nothing. Chart says as of February 2013. I also meant this chart.... http://dashboard.uscis.gov/index.cfm?formtype=6&office=2&charttype=1 Once they update this, it would look good because of the padding thing they are doing now.
