USCIS Service CentersCSC F2A Processing is not moving for months now

For months now the CSC processing date for the following category has not changed:

I-130

Petition for Alien Relative

Permanent resident filling for a spouse or child under 21

November 15, 2011

 

I have a priority date of 7/5/2012 which CSC would have hit by now if they had continued to process applications at the same rate they were when we filed. But now for quite a few months this category has not moved (not even 1 day).

 

Meanwhile, NVC has gone current with the F2A visa category. Is there any way to get some insight as to when CSC will start processing again or to know what the big hold-up is?

 

That site is not accurate.  For F2A, Aug 2013 filers are already being approved.

 

Contact your congressman ASAP.  Mine took over a year for NOA2.  We contacted our congressman and was approved after a few days.

USCIS Service CentersTransfer from USCIS To Consulate office

thanks for your responses. Just to be very clear. We have our AOS ready for submission as soon as I-130 is approved. Where the confusion lie is that if my wife return to live with me while we await I-130 would the process take a new dimension (as Direct Consular Filing) because she does not want to return to America without me as we have a foyr month old baby whom she alone has been taking care of.She needs support in raising our baby.

 

You cannot shift to DCF because the i-130 has already been filed and currently waiting adjudication at a service center.

 

Your wife can stay with you, no issues with that.

USCIS Service CentersTransfer from USCIS To Consulate office

No.  After USCIS approves your i-130, it will be forwarded to NVC.  There are fees to be paid, affidavit of support and civil documents to be sent to NVC.  Once you have completed the NVC stage and an interview schedule has been set, that's time NVC will forward your case to the designated US embassy/consulate.

Yes, the entire process is flawed.

You can expect NVC to contact you (or your petitioner) a year prior to your PD becoming current, some time in 2017.

 

They will put your case in storage someplace until then.

USCIS Service CentersBeing citizen is worse than PR for processing times?

Right now, it may be faster for an LPR, but that was not the case for all those years befor the last 6 months.

If you go back 6 months, it would have been the reverse.

At some point, it will swing back to favor citizens.

Do beat yourself up for your choices. Do look at this brief period. You made your decisions when it was faster for citizens.





 

I agree.  Some F2A 2013 filers were just lucky (including those who filed AOS when the priority dates were "current").

The lawyer died?

 

You can check your case status here:  https://egov.uscis.g...d/CaseStatus.do

 

By receipts, you mean the i797c Notice of Action?

Not sure. I hope the notice does not mean another round of biometrics notice. There is no "approval notice" since she is already approved from a GC perspective (like AOS).  I received a similar notice response from USCIS to my Congresswoman's office when my PD was current years back under EB2 and that time it was an approval notice and it was AOS as well.

 

What type of biometrics did she do the 1st time?


apple21FemalePhilippines2014-10-22 11:50:00
USCIS Service CentersReturning your Green Card because of USCIS error. Form i90

Means if USCIS doesn't contact your wife (either by snail mail/email or if she still didn't get the new GC), you can inform your congressman's office and they will make a follow up for you.

Its legit coz my previous bio was code 2 and that didn't require a background check. Now since what I did is code 3 they will conduct a background check on me.

This is going to be fun fun fun.... called the IO again and they still don't have an answer. They will call me with an answer before Oct 31st..... 

 

When are you supposed to do the 2nd biometrics?


apple21FemalePhilippines2014-10-16 09:44:00
USCIS Service CentersReturning your Green Card because of USCIS error. Form i90

I had code 3 at my first appointment. By oct 16, according to IO, I should now if my appointment was done in error or if it is really required...

 

You'll find out tomorrow.

 

Tomorrow I shall do mine.  :lol:


apple21FemalePhilippines2014-10-15 16:20:00
USCIS Service CentersReturning your Green Card because of USCIS error. Form i90

I did and they open a service request with NBC as even the L2 support IO couldn't tell if this was legit or done in error. According to the IO this was a request for picture only but couldn't tell much from the notice.

 

Apple21 - did you receive the notification letter yet? Is it for fingerprint + picture or just picture or smth else? 

 

I already have the letter on-hand.  It doesn't say if its for fingerprint and/or picture.  When I did my 1st biometrics, they took my fingerprint and photo.

 

The only difference I see is:

 

-  on the 1st biometrics letter (on the upper right hand part, under Notice Date) it says CODE 2

-  on the 2nd biometrics letter it says CODE 3

I understand your frustration.

 

I don't mind paying $590 ROC fee.  Better to sort everything out at this point rather than have complications when applying for citizenship in the future.

I'm thinking to write a sworn statement, and also a sworn statement from my spouse that witnessed that I submitted the original GC with my application - don't have better ideas.

 

I need to write a nice one, without expressing anger but brain is not working right now...any ideas will be appreciated... 

 

Sorry for the late reply.

 

Honestly, I have no idea what to do with your case.  I'd probably freak out!

 

Hope you get it sorted out.  Keep us posted.

The fun continues, just received another email note - requesting more evidence....

On September 23, 2014, we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence or information in this case I90 APPLICATION TO REPLACE ALIEN REGISTRATION CARD.

I wonder what it will be or if it actually will be anything.

I did submit:

Original GC, copy of passport, copy of immigrant visa with the entry stamp on it and copy of marriage certificate.

apple21 - did you submit more/additional documents compare with what I've listed?









 

I submitted the same.  

 

To this day, I can't view my case status on the USCIS website so I have no idea what's going on.  When I enter my receipt number it says "your case cannot be found".  I called the hotline and all they told me is it's still in process.

Hi all,

 

Apple21 I'm on the exact boat as you are and I have followed exact the same steps and today I received this:

 

 

On September 10, 2014, we mailed you a denial decision notice for this case I90 APPLICATION TO REPLACE ALIEN REGISTRATION CARD. The notice explains why the denial decision was made and the options that may be available to you. If you have not received this notice within 15 days of September 10, 2014, please call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for further assistance.

 

For sure I wasn't expecting this. Have to wait for the denial letter more more info, but this is so strange/bizarre 

 

 

So it means you can keep your 10-yr GC?


apple21FemalePhilippines2014-09-10 20:32:00
USCIS Service CentersReturning your Green Card because of USCIS error. Form i90
