I am seeing more and more IOE cases from Jan onwards with fast approvals

While others wait for more than 3 years.....something is seriously broken at USCIS.  SERIOUSLY BROKEN.

I totally understand your frustration, but USCIS is changing the way they’re processing the cases (IOE, online), so there’s no more backlog. They for sure are working on those stuck, old cases, but cannot hold or increase the backlog with the new cases. Working faster on these new cases is actually a good thing for decreasing the workload and accelerating the old ones.

Sorry, but you do NOT understand. There is no justification for the disparity. It seems they are manipulating their processing time stats...at the expense of people who applied YEARS ago!!

ok, but don’t attack me, it is not my fault. I just had a little bit of luck and I feel happy about my case being handled and approved.

I'm not attacking anyone except USCIS.  I didn't even mention you or your case.  Congratulations!! That is a significant milestone.  In my opinion, they need to totally eliminate the I-751.

Since when did Uscis start online filing for I-751. Never heard of one being filled online

They don't.  They are cherry-picking and practicing last in, first out.

I agree. Except for questionable cases it shouldn't even be a thing. I can see the reason for it to exist at N400 stage but not 751. As some others suggested, its basically just revenue raising for USCIS and nothing more

Your explanation makes no sense.. How is working on the constant flow of new I-751’s accelerating the old ones? If anything, it’s PREVENTING them from working on the old ones. With kind regards, an August 2021 filer 👍🏻

I am trying to find an explanation. I am sorry your case is backlogged. Is something broken at USCIS? For sure. But, is it my fault? For sure it’s not.

I don't think @Daphne . ever said it was your fault. It's clearly USCIS fault. November 2021 filer here, also pending. My case isn't complicated. I know somebody personally who got luckily approved. They filed 2-3 weeks later. Now I think I should have waited a little longer before filing but who knew...

Adjudicating newer cases before older cases can help improve efficiency and reduce the backlog over time for the following reasons:

1. Addressing Potential Issues Sooner: By focusing on recently submitted cases, USCIS can identify and address any potential issues or concerns in a more timely manner. This proactive approach allows for prompt resolution of any discrepancies or complications, reducing the need for additional requests for evidence (RFEs) or further delays.

2. Preventing Backlog Expansion: Prioritizing newer cases prevents the backlog from growing even larger. By promptly processing recently submitted cases, USCIS prevents them from adding to the existing backlog. This approach helps ensure that the backlog does not become more overwhelming and allows the agency to manage its workload more effectively.

Processing newer cases first allows USCIS to identify and address any issues or errors more quickly, as well as to ensure that applicants who are still waiting for a decision have their cases reviewed and adjudicated in a timely manner. This can help to reduce overall processing times and improve the experience for applicants. Additionally, by prioritizing newer cases, USCIS can ensure that they are adhering to any changes or updates to their new policies and manuals (like the use of the IOE/digitalization of applications).

 

Again, while this approach may not entirely eliminate the backlog, it helps make progress in reducing it over time. By addressing recently submitted cases promptly, USCIS can provide faster decisions, prevent backlog growth, and increase its overall capacity to handle pending cases more efficiently.

 

What do you guys think?

I don’t agree. 751s are rarely denied, so whatever “issues or concerns” they are trying to find are almost non existent.

Absolutely not. I’m sorry, but if they managed their workload more efficiently, why is my case stuck at “fingerprints applied to your case” for 450 days?! How is that effective????

The fact that you suggest that USCIS should prioritize newer cases first is very contradictory. Before reducing the backlog they should be working on cases that were submitted almost two years ago!

What do you guys think?

Illogical.  The time they now spend on new cases COULD be spent on case which were submitted 3 years ago instead.  Working on new cases first does NOT reduce the number of backlogged cases. 

1.  I disagree.  "More timely"?  Seriously?  It does not change the number of RFEs at all.

2.  Disagree.  The number of backlogged cases remain the same.  

Same effort applied on old cases results in the very same results......You seem to think old cases are more complicated.  They AREN'T!!!
