USCIS - Advisory on Processing Times - KazMuzik Blog
2007-12-07 22:06
今朝、久しぶりに、USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) のホームページを見たところ、トップのニュースが、Advisory on Processing Times (*) で、次のような summary が載っています。
USCIS has received a significant increase in the number of applications filed; nearly double the number received in the same period last year. The agency is working to improve processes and focus increased resources, including hiring approximately 1,500 new employees, to address this workload.
As a result, average processing times for certain applications may grow longer. Naturalization applications filed after June 1, 2007 may take approximately 16-18 months to process.

USCIS has received a significant increase in the number of applications filed. In July and August, nearly 2.5 million applications and petitions of all types were received. This compares to 1.2 million applications and petitions received in the same time period last year. This fiscal year, we received 1.4 million applications for naturalization; nearly double the volume we received the year before. The agency is working to improve processes and focus increased resources, including hiring approximately 1,500 new employees, to address this workload.
As a result, average processing times for certain application types may become longer. In particular, naturalization applications filed after June 1, 2007 may take approximately 16 - 18 months to process.

これは、この夏に申請料を大幅に値上げしましたが、たぶん、その影響だと思われます。特に、Naturalization (N-400) は、ある条件が整えば、いつでも申請できるので、値上げ前に、駆け込みで申請した人が多かったのでは、と予想されます。
せっかく、だいたいの application で、processing time が 6ヶ月～1年未満となってきたところでしたが、ここにきて、また面倒なことになってきました。来年中には、バックログが解消されればいいのですが、USCIS のことなので、ただ期待するだけでは、だめかもしれません。
一応、今日の時点での、San Jose District Office の Processing Time(s) を保存しておきます。
