Folks, think about how huge amounts of paper work is processed in any organization, public or private.

Several hundred I-751 cases are received in Vermont EACH DAY.
These are immediately just stored away.
At some point, a huge stack of files are taken from storage and spread around among several hundred clerks.
In this process the order of the files gets all messed up and files submitted two months later than other files will get put on top of the stack.

Then we have the situation where one worker completes 20 files per day when another worker completes 8 files per day.  They give the fast worker more files, but they are even later filed ones.  So this worker is churning out files that are several months newer than those files being completed by other workers.

Now a cleaning person knocks files off of a desk.  The files are picked. back up in random order with later filed ones going on top of earlier filed ones.

A worker stays out sick for several days or goes on vacation for 2 weeks or so.  As result, the files on his/her desk are automatically several days, weeks or even a month behind others.

- - - - - - - - - -

So what good does it do here when people are spending inordinate amount of time and having anguish trying to determine why some persons are processed much faster than others???

I count myself as lucky because my wife (she is the one waiting for 10 year green card) doesn’t even ask about what is happening.  She goes on about her daily life without stress.  She knows the card will come at some point and that if she really needs to travel or some such, the stamp in passport will do the trick.

Ur wife can go ahead with her life because she doesn’t have a job that requires her to be in and out the country everyday like I do. And she doesn’t get asked and “interrogating” by immigration everyday. That’s the problem here. At least in my case!

Let's not judge others on why they're (we're) stressing. Every person carries their own cross and their own different set of worries, you don't know every situation. I agree with you that you're lucky in that sense, good for you and for her. I wish I was in your situation where I can just forget this affects my every day. 

 

Also, my worry is compounded by the fact that (and this one is an annoyance I can actually control and ignore) is the fact that we paid expensive fees. It is really not hard for a company to develop a true "first come first serve" system. I know my company does it when we're having queues to clear in an organized manner. Supply chain processes can be applied to it, this is not rocket science. The scenarios you're describing are no excuse to the way they're doing things. And if they won't process applications in order then don't effing say so in the website. But it all boils down to the simple fact that they won't move a finger to improve this broken system, they don't want to, in fact the very own USCIS director opposes the streamlining of applications because he thinks the current processes are too lenient and easy on legal migration. They just don't give a sh!t, but they do take our money happily.

Exactly...
