I landed in the US 4 years ago and my first US B1/B2 visa was back in 2001. Not sure if that matches your theory.

Yes, sure it does.  Same as me, my first visa was in 2000, but I didn't really came as an immigrant till years later.  That information is somehow stored too and depending on the officer has to be checked out.

Got it. But over 21 months in this pandemic, they still couldn’t figure out, that’s just excuse.

Yes, totally agree.  The management of this situation is not acceptable at all.

Antiquated IT systems, permanently damaged supply chains. Even if they had put out a RFQ on April 1 after the first “2 weeks to stop the spread / flatten the curve / blah blah blah “ they still wouldn’t have awarded the contract by now.

received this from senator office. 

 

-------------

The law firm Mintz Levin is interested in talking with constituents about their naturalization applications that are not moving forward because the files are sitting at the Federal Records Center. If this is of interest to you, please reach out to Susan Cohen at SJCohen@mintz.com and title the subject line "Federal Record Center" in your email. 

Please know that this outreach will be at no cost to you and they will not provide legal advice. They are exploring how large an issue this is nationally so that they can address the situation head-on.

Got a reply from Susan that they are trying to get the press involved.  Are any of you going to talk to the reporters?

I'm sure people can speak under condition of anonymity.

I told her I can talk with my name. She gave you 3 options, just pick one what you feel comfortable I think.

There's no need for anonymity in US for such cases. It's your legal right that your application be processed in a timely manner and that's what US is all about. You can sue USCIS at this point of time if processing time is outside their documented processing time for N400 for a particular field office. US is not like some middle east country or North Korea where you need to be afraid of government authorities.

I wonder if anybody has any news related to files stuck at the Federal Records Centers.  No news on mine yet...

A USCIS officer on Reddit two weeks ago said FRC is still at 25 percent of staffing.

Sounds like they just want to assess if it’s a big enough issue to bring a class action so they can make bank.
