Visa <strong>Service</strong>s Workload<br />
Steve:<br />
Help! We are desperately in need of more people, especially in Visa <strong>Service</strong>s! As you can see<br />
from the staffing pattern I have included below, our staffing levels have remained fairly constant<br />
over the past five years while our workload has dramatically increased (particularly in Visa<br />
<strong>Service</strong>s). I know Washington prefers that we run lean, but I am very concerned about the level<br />
of service we are providing to both U.S. and Kumani nationals. I’ll be leaving soon, but we<br />
should do something before Chris comes on board.<br />
