Possible Ways to Overcome the Delay at TSC

[Muñeca 2014 25]

That's great! I really like it and I'm appalled how great of a distance both of the center's processing timelines are from each other! I'm at a loss for words! Its time for action now...quite frankly its disgusting! Cause I don't have a word for it...not clean ones...all I can say is what can I do to help?

Yeah I know how you feel !! We hope that this timeout ends soon

...

We just are waiting the date and the address to send the letter ...

Hey everyone, this is a great idea and I am 100% on board!

We should also email this to all of the senators and congressmen on the immigration committees. These people are (or should be) directly involved with USCIS. The website listing the senators on the judiciary immigration committee is here (you have to scroll down a bit) : http://www.judiciary.senate.gov/about/subcommittees#immigration , and the representatives on the house immigration committee are here: http://judiciary.house.gov/index.cfm/subcommittee-on-immigration-and-border-security

Rep. Smith (TX) Rep. Lofgren Rep. King Rep. Jackson Lee Rep. Jordan Rep. Gutierrez Rep. Labrador Rep. Garcia Rep. Holding Rep. PierluisiSenator Schumer, Chairman Senator Cornyn, Ranking Member Senator Leahy Senator Grassley Senator Feinstein Senator Hatch Senator Durbin Senator Sessions Senator Klobuchar Senator Flake Senator Blumenthal Senator Cruz Senator Hirono

Thanks RyanMarie for sharing this with all of us !!

Eachone of us should send the letter by email/mail this week!!

My own two cents (speaking as a fed government employee, but with no connection whatsoever to USCIS or anything immigration related):

1. Regular mail is much more effective than e-mail in making an impresssion. For one thing, e-mails are easily ignored and deleted. As I'm sure many of you know from your own jobs, even on a slow day one can receive over 100 emails. Secondly, letters show the reader you are more invested and dedicated since you put that much more effort into it. Congressional offices count letters more heavily than e-mails too (for example, one snail mail letter=represents 10 constituents while 1 e-mail=5 constituents).

2. Strength in numbers definitely works when sending to a fed agency employee. Don't just send it to the director of the service centers, but send it to everyone above him if possible. Perhaps he's trying to fix things but his supervisor is a road block for whatever reason (ignorant, stubborn, who knows what). Or if he is the road block, then pressure from above certainly can help (and lots of letters would be a good way to get that pressure to be applied). Making one embarrassed or look bad can do wonders!

That's the correct address, but Leon Rodriguez is now the Director. The deputy director is Lori Scialabba.

So should we all write and send the letter to Leon Rodriguez then? On Friday/Saturday so it will get there on time on Monday?

Makes me want to send a letter to the President too!
