Backlog elimination reports !

Here is a little information on backlogs: During the third quarter of FY 2005, the backlog was increased by about 174,000 asylum adjustment cases. These cases were added after the enactment of the REAL ID Act of 2005, wherein a previous statute limiting USCIS from completing more than 10,000 applications for Form I-485, Adjustment of Status to Lawful Permanent Residence for Asylees, was lifted. USCIS employees are working to address this influx of new cases, establish a maximum six-month processing period for every application received and eliminate the current backlogs by the end of FY 2006. We are well on our way to reaching our goals. As of June 2005, USCIS has met current targets in 14 of 16 application form types and that has completed almost 750,000 more applications than received this year.
