Topic: Still no update to processing times!!!
Posted by sisyphus (517) 26 Aug 2008
It's Aug 26, and the processing times update on USCIS website is still dated July 15th. I think it portends bad news, i.e. the processing times have retrogressed. What do others think? I know it's just speculation, but it might be fun.

wishful thinker in me says that they are too busy giving approvals to find time to get to the report ;-))

I think they know that if they publish dates like RD AUG 17 (for example) they will be flooded with call inquiries.

One possibility is that they don't want the times to move forward lest a great many people open SRs.

I think that they are totally lost. They don't have any control on which cases they are processing that is why they cannot give any cutoff date for processing.

The approvals are so random that these processing dates don't give any insight into what's going on. The CIS decides on the dates based on the two opposing pulls:

* Need to move the dates forward and making them look good.
* Need to avoid SR's by keeping the dates as far back as possible.

In every bulletin, they balance out these two factors.

Unless you plan to file SR if your RD is 30 days before the processing date, why the f*** do you care what they print in the processing dates bulletin? It's all a formality.

I think they want to continue using July dates as long as possible... even into Sep and then publish retrogressed dates... Someone talking to IO reported NSC is still going by Aug 10....

I think they just realized that WAC****** cases should be taken into consideration when publishing processing times. So, we might have to expect retrogression in processing dates :(

i plan to do a SR if the dates hit Aug 01 for TSC- that's why i was interested in the dates.

I would take it as a good sign as they are going to keep processing date as it is or move forward. Also, we have several example, here on trackitt, that they have processed I-485 case beyond Aug 10, 2007 PD (for NSC) so I guess 'update processing date' on web-page is a lower priority task in USCIS to-do-list.

it is so random in approving cases, so they have no idea which date to put. since it is a mess in the USCIS center, all the files and petitions have lost track. they just pick one case after they finish one, no more RD, ND or PD all those BS.. just take one. D*MN it! no time to sort out those Dates crap.

or may be the random approving is to average out their processing time, such that the averaged approving time looks better by approve a 10 days case to average another with 500 days, make the average approving time to be 255 days, which is less than a year!!! So we are are fooled by them. THEY ARE WAY SMARTER we thought.

I will think that will show a good efficiency when they show to Congress and US public, not their boss, may be this is the tactic/suggestion from their boss. ;) Happy Labor Day...
