And firing people will definitely speed things up, I'm sure that's how it works

Does anyone know if we will be given notification for future increases while this is on hold?

if your tushy is on the firing line, employees become more productive. its universal that fear will drive them. They have been slacking for like 3 decades

I completely disagree with this. Living under the fear of unemployment, especially during a pandemic, will actually make people much less productive. I can only imagine how terrible morale is at USCIS. The blame should be on the decades of mismanagement of USCIS, and the ones bearing the burden include us and USCIS workers.

Not true. My husband was approved and here within months not that long ago.

You realize the slow downs in the last few years are a direct result of Trump and his policies, correct?

Yeah, sure, definitely how it works. I'm sure all USCIS employees are just lazy and what they lack is some healthy job insecurity and to see their coworkers being fired.

This is great news 😁

 

I'm getting my paperwork ready for my AOS, there is a new i765 EAD that was due out on October 2nd. The new form states that when adjusting status we now need to pay the fee (previous form states adjusting status are exempt) just wondering if the new form is part of the injunction or not

Hmm. Not sure I really agree with that, they’re human beings like us too and have a job to do that pays the bills. I don’t think the individual workers efficiency has anything to do with the backlog right now.

Hello, I received an email from the USCIS lockbox today, which stated all fees will stay the same!! Such great news! So the Adjustment of Status fees will also not increase!

Call the County and get a certified copy. Here in Texas, I helped a friend get one last Friday for $7. He sent his to be registered on the 5th of Sept and has still not received it. So we made a few calls, pleaded last Thursday and got some nice fellow who squeezed as in for Friday for a certified version, without scheduling appointment. Appointments right now are not available for the next 3 weeks

LA county is notoriously slow. In normal times, it usually takes about a month to get your certified copy. The clerk's office is literally closed physically and they are all working from home (I called and talked to a nice lady who told me that). She said to expect 4-6 weeks now, but I sort of doubt it. You don't need an appointment to get your certified copy -- they send it to you, so there's nothing to do to move it along. But on the other hand, I do get to celebrate with my family in my childhood home, which is worth more than waiting around a few extra weeks (especially when EAD and AP aren't a concern for us).
