New Processing Dates - the lies keep coming..
New processing dates in NSC and TSC: I-140 for EB2 and EB3 are at August 2, 2007 now. I still know at least 20+ people personally and if you go look at Trackitt, you’ll see a hundreds that are still waiting for adjudication from the Jan-July 2007 timeframe. USCIS really must come out and talk about why there is such disparity between what’s on the processing dates and reality.
Are they doing it to keep the authorities at bay? Perhaps congresspeople that are pushing for faster processing at USCIS are believing what they see on the Processing Time Information page? I don’t know and I don’t want to point fingers. All I want is that our applications get adjudicated on a timely manner. 20+ months of holding us hostage to our current jobs is just not fair….
Hey, another interesting observation. The processing dates for NSC EB2 I-140 moved BACKWARD from March 2008 to August 2, 2007. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?????? We are not talking about retrogression or backward movement of priority dates here. This is the actual dates correspoding to adjudicated applications. On August 31, 2008, if USCIS adjudicated all applications of EB2 I-140 upton March 2008, then how can they still be working on applications from August 2007 now? Most probably a typo on the August 31 processing dates page.
Endlesswait.com visitors voted exceedingly (94% - 6%) that they do not trust the validity of the USCIS processing dates anymore. For good reason..

Now it is confirmed that the I140 processing dates are based on priority dates.

Shah, thanks for confirming that as well..I’ve noticed that for months now and reported that on this blog several times…
Service Requests unfortunately take 4-5 weeks to get responded to. But I am not sure what USCIS is smokin’ to report such absurdly wrong dates..

Yes…This is really crazy….Its been so many days and no proper response from anyone. I do not understand what we can do to make USCIS process these delayed I140 applications?
I tried to contact the Congressman and Ombudsman and no response from either one of them. I applied form 7001 with Ombudsman and they say that USCIS should reply with in 45 days regarding status of my application and there is no response till now, its been more than 45 days.

Shiva, did you hear from them?

Jonathan “jock” Scharfen has resigned, now the top officer is a guy with a long history at USCIS, writter of several Legacy memos, his name: Michael Aytes, I know you recognize this name. This change is effective since 12/03/08.

Victor, I am not too hopeful about this new guy…I would have wanted someone fresh….someone that hates USCIS as much as I do…

I was not clear enough on my comment about this guy, in fact I think Mr. Aytes is much worse than his former bosses; just take a look at his memos since the time of INS, BCIS ans USCIS and you’ll realize this guy likes to set traps to us.
Regards.
