First CSC approval of the week. No timeline (second time this morning, when it rains it pours) but I'll count it. Love 'em or hate 'em, CSC always makes the week interesting. (and by interesting I mean "GAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!")

[Jeraly 4]

Kewlies!! So we're on a count of two now?

[mox 298]

Only one for this week. The other non-timeliner was approved last week.

(Unless there's another approval this week I haven't seen.)

No more brownies until I get taken off the bottom of the list! Embargo ON!

September (1-30) = 0

please correct it if somebody has accurate info

Just to continue my streak of 100% incorrect predictions, I have a really good feeling that we'll see our first September CSC filer approved this week.

Heres a couple articles postulating that the slowdown at USCIS is actually a plot by the Republicans and the current Administration to prevent applicants from voting in the upcoming presidential elections.

I don't buy it. Hispanics are voting Republican in droves these days, and many of the Republican candidates are counting on the Hispanic vote. Nothing would lose this election faster for the Republicans than if it were to come out that they were blocking immigration efforts.

I think the problem is much simpler to identify: Incompetence. Emilio Gonzalez is a Bush appointee, and like many Bush appointees, seems to have no idea how to do his job. Congress *wants* to throw money at USCIS, but Gonzalez has turned it down. He does not believe there is a resource problem and has placed the blame fully on the FBI. (the FBI, meanwhile, are going "huh? We have an average 2-week turn-around!")

I'm not so sure about your first point, however, I'm not sure so I'm not saying you're wrong .

I had wondered myself what motivation Gonzalez had for refusing financial aid. It is a very compelling argument that maybe Gonzalez has an ulterior motive driven by politics rather than being thoroughly incompetent. He accepted there were issues, blamed the FBI but never suggested a resolution other than that people would have to stomach the delays. Why on earth would anyone refuse financial help when the service has faced the largest volume of petitions in their history and are still offering a p!$$ poor service despite the revenue increase in the latter part of the year?

I am still amazed that NVC, who handle every single immigrant visa petition, can turn them around in 2 to 4 weeks on average. There's summat wrong somewhere.
