So now the I90's are slowing to a crawl.  Reminds me of late 2016 when the I751s were back-burnered.

It is very interesting as to how USCIS treats the paying customers.  Apparently typical of a government agency.

Other than the revenue streams, is there any good reason to continue 2 year Green Cards or time limited Green Cards?  Just give every Green Card an indefinite expiration date.  Then USCIS could shift a lot of their workforce. 

 

Issue Green Cards

Replace damaged or stolen Green Cards

Process N-400s

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Especially since according to some VJ members, no one ever really loses their LPR status, even if they leave with a conditional GC and stay out of the country for 17 years.

Haha aw man, this phrase was used way too often... Somebody brings up a good idea, the response: "No, that makes too much sense, lets keep doing it the old deprecated way"😆

17 years is for amateurs. Try 18: https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/wu22uf/spousal_green_card_sponsorship_with_long_term/

This is really an example of poor management at USCIS.  Since almost all of the I-90s and I-751s are approved they could develop a system to screen through them and fast track approval if the person in charged actually cared.  But approval of I-90s and I-751s are the mundane work beneath the political appointees who run the agency.  They should appoint people in charge who actually care about getting the mundane nuts and bolts of the job completed or just let the career people who know how to get it done do their job.

USCIS is a rounding error in the federal budget.

 

It's badly managed, but they're processing things slowly because they're bad at it, not to try and make money.

 

My dumb idea would be to change conditional green cards to three years, so you can skip ROC if you qualify to naturalize under the three-year rule.
