Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionCSC or VSC, Was it transferred?

This is the USCIS standard boilerplate stuff (aka. their standard song-and-dance). Our NOA looks just the same. Also you cannot track your case using that case number from what I understand.

There is absolultely no mention of tranfser. Your Biometrics letter came from VSC. That's okay. Lot of folks have lately been getting their biometrics letter from VSC. Its a growing trend from which everyone seems to conclude that VSC is assisting other processing centers in sending Biometrics letters. You should have a couple of case numbers on this letter (one which was on your acceptance NOA and another one, use the 2nd one to track your status online through the USCIS website).

 

If your case does get transferred (which I highly doubt), it will only be because you'll probably be interviewed. Right now, you have received no shred of evidence stating that your case has been transferred so you should relax. Congratulations on being a CSC filer, you obviously don't have to wait as long as a VSC applicant.

 

EDIT: I noticed my NOA looks just like yours EXCEPT it does state VERMONT SERV CENTER (and the address) right below it. The Biometrics Letter doesn't have any address within it. However, the envelope was mailed from Vermont. Also, our Biometrics letter doesn't seem to be printed on USCIS grade paper. Its standard letter paper. NOA came with the proper USCIS letterhead and Liberty watermark bond paper.

Chigs

 

I just re-read the NOA1 and it had no mention of the case being transferred.

 

Here's the NOA1 summary.

 

Paragraph 1: Conditional Resident status extended 1 year, I can work and travel.

 

Paragraph 2: Notice I'll be receiving biometrics appointment letter.

 

Paragraph 3: if you overseas in the military you won't get an appointment.

 

Paragraph 4: Provide evidence if you haven't already.

 

Paragraph 5: You can track the status via CRI89.

 

Paragraph 6: If I check E or F, you can't change your address online.

 

Does that mean it's still at the CSC?

 

 


There is absolute no mention of ANY service center on the NOA1, the address at the very bottom however states a CA Post Office Box. But that's it.

 

The biometrics letter is the only letter that states VSC.

 

And of course I definitely without question filed with the CSC :)

I'm assuming that you filed RoC when your RoC window opened up. I suppose you now have about 3 months to apply for naturalization on the basis of have completed 3 years with your original GC and with the Extension Letter (RoC NOA). If you weren't thinking of N400, may now you should :/

 

Hoping that you still get approved very soon though.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionGot my ROC Approved ??
For a second I got too excited.
CSC is fast. And you fall quite within the ETA of approvals at CSC. When I saw VSC in your avatar, i got excited. Then i saw the most recent post where you updated to CSC.

Nevertheless, congrats on your approval.

We had our bio appointment for today and had it done on time. Wife didn't have green card with her (and it susprisingly escaped both our minds that we should take the OTHER most important document with us :bonk: ) but they didn't make a big fuss out of it.

 

Should we be concerned about this? Do they place some sort of a label or sticker on the green card regarding the extension for travel purposes? 

This brings me to my next question about travel. We have to travel overseas for my cousin's wedding in January 2015. My wife's green card expires on October 4, 2014.

 

My lawyer cousin is advising us to make an infopass to have her passport stamped for the upcoming travel "just in case" (where they create a fuss at the point of exit from the visited country). Has anyone done such a thing ?

 

regards,

Chigs

I am not sure about your ASC since there isn't much info about it on here here but It should be a standard seamless process! It should take less than 20 minutes unless otherwise! I had mine done today and it took less than 15 minutes tops and no questions asked!
 

 

 

Great!! I didn't realize how similar our timelines are. Hopefully I get it some time next week. I more than likely will do an early walk-in just to get it out of the way.

As for my AOS I have no clue. guess they weren't as busy when I sent in my application. Hope that the ROC goes as smoothly as the AOS

 

KASH2011: You posted while I was typing. I did see elsewhere that Queens ASC does walk-in. I am just not sure how busy they are in the mornings.

Timon: We are also leaning towards early walk-in next week.

Hi,
I live in queens also and although I haven't gotten bio appt for ROC. I remember that my AOS bio appt took less than 15 minutes and I went first thing in the morning. I know it was two years ago and things may have changed but I figured I'd let you know


Wow thanks. I just reviewed your timeline, both our bio appointments should be a few days apart at a maximum.
Another thing, how in the heck did your AOS get approved so quickly? Ours took nearly 8 months.

Keep us updated when you receive your biometrics letter. Also, let us know if you decide to go for a walk-in or an early morning (the day of appt).

Thanks,
Chigs

I have read in some posts that going for early biometrics helps speed up your applications.   Others says it doesn't help.   Anyway, I did mine one week early; it's giving me peace of mind that I don't need to do something else and just have to wait.   If you decide to do an early walk in biometrics, I would suggest go at 3pm; that's when the office activity  start to wind down, there is less people and you will be staying there less time.   Yesterday when I went for my early bio I first went to 9 am.   There were a lot of people and the officer told me I could stay for biometrics but I would need to stay for a few hours before any availability.   She recommended me to come back at 3pm because there would be less people waiting.   I came back at 3pm and, lo and behold, there were fewer people and I only had to wait like 20 minutes.   Good luck!


I will attempt to walk in tomorrow afternoon!

 
We thought about early bio as well. Problem is that my wife is working 9-6 M-F and we didn't find much information on the Queens NYC ASC about when it's the most and least busy. If we end up going there before her work schedule and if she has to wait for a long time, it's pretty much counter productive. I do remember that during her AOS, we went on the date and time of the appointment and she was done in about 15 minutes (it also happened to be a 1PM appt). Good thing is that the ASC is about 15-20 minutes away from her workplace via the subway (and easily accessible as well).
Still contemplating what to do.
How do I find out more about my Queens NYC ASC ?

Sorry I missed the EDITing opportunity window on the previous post but..

EDIT: I'm noticing a lot of garbled data with respect to the table manipulations. Mixing of font courier new with verdana and helvetica, adding redundant fonts, etc.
I've cleaned it up. Going forward, if you're not sure what's going on, please ask me to update it or ask someone else
OR
if you are up to the challenge of making it better for everyone on this thread, a very good way to see if your "table format" is clean is to just "flip the switch" and just make sure there isn't anything nonsensical in each of the rows with everyone's entries. What do i mean by "flip the switch"? It's basically the left-topmost icon/option on the text editor. It will provide you with your post content with behind the scenes information used for format particular aspects of the text (such as the underline, bold, italics, font, color, etc).

I'll stop here before it gets too technical. So, you can ask me [via pm] and I'll be glad to help further.

regards,
Chigs

Biometrics letter came today.
Updated our Biometrics date from the letter (Appointment date and time: 09/12/2014 1:00PM).
We're debating whether we would go for early walk-in biometrics or early on the day of the appointment.

Suggestions?

Still havent got a NOA, but the check fee was debited tonight. So all is good I guess ;)

 

Hello @Stefaan_Leslie,

 

Check being debited is surely good news. I think you will be receiving your NOA very soon (today or tomorrow). Have patience and enjoy the remaining few days of summer ;)

How come everyone has his NOA1's so fast ? I sent my package 8/18/14 but still nothing.

 

Hi @Stefaan_Leslie,

 

I think there are several factors involved. One-day Priority Express vs Priority vs First Class (trackable) vs UPS vs FedEx (and their various modes of shipment).

We sent ours Priority Express (next day delivery). 

Trend seems to be that NOA date is likely to be the day after the package delivery date. And after that, it take a few days to receive in the mail. We counted exactly 1 calendar week from mailing date to having received the NOA letter.

Its been 1 week since you sent yours. Check with your bank to see if your check for the I-751 fee has been debited. It should give you a rough idea if everything was okay.

In our case, I found that they NOA date and check debit date were separated by 2 business days. 

These are the small things that would tell you if your NOA is on its way. It also helps that we are in NYC, which is why we received the NOA in a couple of days. You location from the service center also may delay/speedup your NOA mailing process.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Regards,

Chigs

Thank you Corredor. At least i'm not alone, I was really wondering why it came from VSC, now Im enlightened. Good luck to all August filers

 

You would think that the rate at which they are processing, it would be CSC that would "lend a hand" and share the load of biometrics.

All of you folks tracking your applications and having received your NOAs, did you guys see your check for $590 get debited from your account (incase you sent a check)? Just curious.  Want to see if there is any relation between the NOA date and the date the check got debited.

 

:unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

 

Thanks.

Was there a splash? I like to make a splashy entrance (not really, just figurative speak).

Anyhow, Ami and I are finally in the RoC boat. Hope it doesn't matter that we actually submitted the application a month later than we could have (We were eligible since July 5th, 2014).
We fired off our application today. It shall be received by VSC tomorrow (Priority Mail Express 1-Day).  Will update this thread whenever we have status updates.



 

Anyhow, hello to all the fellow August 2014 filers as well!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsUpdates on a I-129F petition
Hi All,

I recently sent my petition as you can see from my timeline in the signature.
I received my I-797 (NOA1).
Now which date is my NOA1 date? The "Notice Date" or "Received Date"?

I am uploading the image of the I-797 with most of the important stuff blanked out.

Also, How do I tell if my file was "touched" without periodically logging into the website.
I created an account on USCIC, entered my Receipt number and enabled SMS and Email notifications.

Last date of update is 04/29/2011. The question is, will I get an email/sms whenever this file is "Touched" or will I have to manually log-in to check if the Last Update date has changed?

many thanks,
chirag

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports; almost 7 months and still no NOA2

Welcome to life - it's not fair. Our rights are not being "trashed." You are still entitled to your opinions, beliefs, life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness - and may love whoeever you like. However, it is a matter of national security when any individual seeks to immigrate to the United States. You as an individual must be judgmental on a day to day basis for your own survival, and the government needs to be judgmental in the same regard. Don't take it personally.

I hope you receive notice soon. Remain patient, stay positive. Don't play victim as a "hostage," try to live your life to the fullest regardless of USCIS - do you really want to look back and feel like you wasted all these months? I sure don't.

Monyfer -- best wishes to you as well. I can relate to you as having a more traditional relationship per se (in regards to meeting in person, 2 young unmarried and college educated professionals, living together extensively, not using an online site, broker, or the K-1 visa process as a litmus test) and my worst fear is that after going through everything appropriately we will be held up for some unknown reason.

Good luck all.



I think this is one of the most sound advices I have seen so far. Good stuff danik713.



; i dont think there are other october filers left than me and monyfer... thanks for all your responses, brings back a little bit of Hope!!


Hang in there, I think its a matter of time. Make sure you exhaust all potential resources (service request/senator involvment, etc). You shud not be waiting at this point.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI'm an Igor's List Addict

ok I feel stupid! what is Igor's list?


Lol... I wish I could say it was something like Schindler's list (sorry no disrespect).
It's a list showing all kind of funky stats useful for the K1 filers.
Approvals for the week, list of people who filed and their timelines etc.

There are two of them. One of them is the Berkeley one.
http://cse.ssl.berke...vjdata/vsc.aspx

And then theres the VJ List:
http://www.visajourn...tion=2&sortby=2

Note this is simply VSC. I don't bother with the CSC (as much because that would lead to more frustration as CSC is a month ahead of VSC, if not more).
That is Igor's List. I haven't the slighest clue as to why its called Igor's list, maybe the person who came up with the stats is one named Igor (who knows).

Cheers,
Chigs

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI'm an Igor's List Addict

Yeah... I got the bug.
To make matters worse, I'm an engineer and sort of a math/stats junkie...
So I keep looking for different ways to analyze it all.



Nice. I myself am a computer engineer working as a software developer so I know exactly what you mean. Its a constant battle wanting to see the stats. I must have contemplated about a 1000 scenarios on how long its going to take the petition to get approved. And each day, I feel different. Sometimes I feel like August is gonna be my month, then considering today's performance, I can kiss that notion goodbye.
Numbers can drive you insane here...
Patience is the name of the game...

I used to check every hour until people behind us started getting approved like crazy while we still sit and wait. I also use to check when people got approved around 100 but now we're in the 30s and still nothing. The list gives you hope for awhile until you have the same happen and start getting passed like us. :blush: Hopefully the list works in your favor but for us it is meaningless.



John&his*GG*:
Keep the faith. I'm sure you two are just a day or two away from approval. I think you will be pleasantly surprised in just a few days.

update.....

We were approved today..not a K-1 petition but is still an approval.

Maybe people who were approved today will update their timelines later.VSC is picking up pace especially on the K1s. Igor list will tell your that VSC is actually processing more K-1 than CR1 lately

Good Luck to you guys and wih you all a speedy approval

We are over the moon...NVC here we come


Alas, however your on the IR1/CR1 route. nonetheless, Congrats to the two of you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI'm an Igor's List Addict
There is a little saying over at imgur.com that goes like "not a single f*** was given that day" generally captioning an image in which the subject is seen as being lazy and just going about their daily routine, such as picking their nose, or using their dog's head as a mouse pad for their laptop...
Just so that we're on the same page, this is not a post on what goes on at imgur.com, rather a post that references one of the applicable captions (in this case "not a single f*** was given that day") to today's activity on VJ indicating an NOA2.

Yes.
TODAY IS FRIDAY, JULY 29, 2011
NOT A SINGLE [edit:K1] NOA2 WAS GIVEN THIS DAY.

I know I may be over-reacting but I'm not complaining. I can understand that people are enjoy their fridays and just haven't gotten to updating their VJ accounts.

In any case, I just wanted to say that I've been watching the VSC Igor's list religiously. Over the last few days, I saw myself jump from 220+ to the 19s. (And I am really thankful for that, keep at it VSC).

I'm an April Filer and Im an Igor's List junkie/Addict.
Lol.

Now that I got that off my chest.

Anyone else feeling what I'm feeling?

i really don't get this...
wouldn't it make sense that the file would show a touched indication on the USCIS website if it actually made it onto an adjudicator's desk.

I don't know the entire process but, wouldn't someone have to move these files from a room and onto someone's desk in order for them to be processed and each time the move would cause a "touch."
If thats so, my file is sitting on the desk of the same adjudicator since April?

I know I am wrong. So can someone care to take aim as to how these files would be touched?

I was on the USCIS website to check my status.
Since they only require the receipt number, i did some investigative work today in the past few minutes.

Checked 10 Receipt Numbers before and after mine.
The NOA1 receipt number which was 3 values ahead of me got approved today.
I don't know if they are registered here on VJ or not, but certainly hope that I am processed early next week.

Even thought I did not get approved today, at least this proves that WE ARE NOT FAR AWAY...

Those with the same NOA1 date as me, hang in there, I hope we are close to being processed.

Violent physical exercise takes one's mind off stuff like this, si man.



Lol and you think my posts are humorous. This one cracked me up... Thanks ;)

I am not sure whether I am qualified to join this conversation?.........Errrr, scrap that! I think I am qualified since I have been in an LDR for 3 years and I am now at the mercy of the system. I guess, how we deal with this 'waiting game' is also determined by personal philosophy. Here's how I see things....I did research at the beginning of the process and I said to myself and my fiance, "if we figure that this could take up to a year or more then anything that may go under that time-line would be a bonus". I am desperate to begin my new life with my fiance --being apart has now become the exception (whereas due to the nature of an LDR being together used to be the exception). Feelings have shifted - being together feels right, being apart does not. However, each one of us has their own personal journey and their own personal experiences along that journey. Sure, we look for patterns and trends within the system to help us navigate this part of the journey, but really you are not being personally or individually picked out (you know that really). It's just paperwork and procedure nothing personal at all. Sure vent, get it off your chest, but keep a clear mindset too, because you still have some way to go.

I know that at some point (hopefully) within a year that I will be united with my love and we will live the rest of our lives together in his homeland. In the meantime I choose to make the most of the last few months that I will live in my homeland. The here and now is just as precious as the future you wish for. This time now is what counts. Soon I will be gone from here. So, even though being together is what is on my mind it's not the only preoccupation I have. I am mindful to enjoy the positive aspects of my life here. The future is waiting for you and it will happen, but remember to enjoy the now too.

I am not sure that this will help you, but I see so many posts that are about statistics, and policy and trends, and I think the most part of this process is determined by mental attitude. I am a runner so I guess you could break this down into training....pace yourself so that you have the best finish you can.

Good luck!

This is probably the best advise someone has given me through this entire process so far and I am going to see that I can mold myself into the way of thinking you have mentioned here.
Deep breath...
Here we go....

Also Finace visa's usually go through more "checks" compared to a CR-1/IR-1. It's just the means of the processing. I have seen a lot of K-1 visa's in the past going thru A.P. over the past 6-8 months.

Delhi consulate really hammers down on fiance visas. It's good that you will be interviewing at Mumbai.

I am sure you will do fine.

Thanks man. I am sure you were just prepping me to be strong for the road ahead... I think yesterday I would have vented at anyone who tried to help me...
Appreciate it... Hope your process moves along quickly as well :)

Keep strong, my VJ friend. You will get approved soon. Mine took one week short of five months. Watching others get approved and I was being passed by was causing me a lot of stress. Now I wait for NVC, we will see how long that takes, and then the interview. The wait time for interviews in Cuba can be any where from 6 months to a year. You can imagine my dismay.

You will get your NOA2 soon. It appears that some adjuticators are approving the petitions about a week before the 5 month deadline. So yours is coming soon. My prayers are with you!

Thank you very much.

Our NOA1 was received on April 8th and still no NOA2. I am thinking it will be approved the 1st week in September. More hoping than thinking !!!!



hang in there, you're closer than ever to receiving your NOA2.
