Oh and I found the story at NPR. It's here. It talks more about the citizenship backlog, but gives some insight into USCIS too.

Remember the kuffufle a while back about how the people who had applied for naturalization wouldn't have their applications processed in time to vote in the 2008 elections. Like this ... 'WASHINGTON — Millions of people who applied for naturalization and other immigration benefits to beat a midsummer fee increase are caught in a paperwork pileup that threatens the chance for some to become U.S. citizens in time to vote in next November's presidential election'.

Well GWB has recently said that he wanted all naturalization applications processed so that the applicants get a vote in the 2008 election. Bear in mind that in 2004 the GOP attracted a record 44 percent of the Latino vote by some exit poll estimates ... and they don't want to give 'em back.

Word goes to CSC workers, "get the N-400 Applications sorted out double quick". Anyone else think that that might pull the rug out from under K-1/K-3 visa filers?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsQuestion: Are cases assigned officers according to Beneficiaries country?
Hey Guys,

I'm bored at work and doing some number crunching ...

I've noticed that there are relatively few of the UK filers actually passed for October and the last few days of September. 3 out of 8.

My SO reasons that they assign all the UK applications (and other tasks too doubtless) to one officer, all the Russians to another, etc. I guess it makes sense as the adjudicating officer would then have seen birth certs, divorce certs, etc, from his or her assigned country or countries and be familiar with them and therefore wouldn't have to refer back to a senior member of staff every 15 minutes. But this is the CSC so I'm not sure.

Anyone got an opinion (likely) or insider information (highly unlikely) to help a brother out while he's p1ssed off waiting for a darn NOA2?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsGetting Married in the USA to USC ...
Hi Everyone,

We applied for a K-1 visa on october 1st and still no word. Now, we plan to get married on Oct 11th in Oregon but if the visa is too late or denied we plan to go ahead with the wedding and then come back to the UK and possibly do DCF later - if getting rejected for our K-1 doesn't scupper that plan.

Obviously I can't enter the USA on the visa waiver programme as we are planning to get wed so what do we need in the way of entry visa in order to get married to my US fiance and then leave?

I know about all the evidence of my plan to leave again but do I need to file for something else and, if so, how long will it take to get the stamp?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsim very anxious about our k1 visa case HELP!!
Hi sophee_ya,

I hear ya!!! I had a previous Greencard which I let expire so I'm stressed about that - and we are even earlier filers than you. I won't say relax cos you won't but many people here have found that alcohol in copious amounts eases the pain somewhat!!!

I'm off the devil's buttermilk for Lent but if there's no NOA2 for us by next week I'll be testing their theory myself.

Seriously though, some days you care about no NOA2, others you don't. Some days are sulky, some days have a grin, and some days have bouncers who won't let you in ...

Just a straw poll ...

Who has been waiting longest on a case officers desk - if you know how long that is.

We were assigned an officer on February 20th 2007. Apart from 2 touches from phone calls there has been nothing.

So, who can top 26 days!?!?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCurious about how long you've lived with SO.
Hi,

We've lived together for two and a half wonderful years but just cos it works for us doesn't mean it's for everyone. Anyway, who cares!!! People can end up divorcing after 10, 15, heck even 45 years together. I think it depends more on how you spend the time together rather than the amount of time you spend together.
