Right...correcting info to show Receipt date and not the Notice Date wink.gif

But....but.....kenk3z's NOA date is 01/12/2008, not 01/03/2008 blush.gif innocent.gif

(Unless the "NOA date" is the receipt date, not the notice date? unsure.gif )

In our situation we cut the submission of the I-751 quite close to her green card expiration. Her card expired on 1/10/2008. The way the timing is working out, I expect that she was "out of status" for a few days. But I do have a USPS delivery confirmation of the application being received at VSC on 1/2/2008. All in all a little too close for total comfort.

I think it's the postmark (the date it was posted) that counts, not the date it was received.

Am I right? unsure.gif

My application was delivered to Nebraska on 9/18, I guess I’m hoping like hell that it will be transferred to California?? Two month processing? That is unbelievable.

Actually this thread is for people whose AOS was transferred to California and approved without interview,
and who are now removing conditions.

Was your I-485 - not I-751 - transferred to CSC? Were you approved without interview?

A few times when I came thru immigration and was secondary interviewed the officer used to tell me my name was flagged, and each time I come thru I will be questioned as my name was "flagged"

Grounds for a lawsuit, if you ask me. By "flagging" your name, they are subjecting you to unfair discrimination.

That would indeed be the most rational presumption. However, it is also possible that I-485 files of those approved without interview are "flagged" for closer review during I-751. Flag or not, we are hoping that this closer review does not mean an automatic interview but, rather, it would still be the adjudicator's discretion whether or not an interview is required based on the evidence submitted with the I-751.

"Flagging" is not in the manual either.

Isn't it against the rules to "flag" a file for closer examination?

Adjudicators are supposed to assess cases on their own merits, and
a flag would be likely to inhibit an unbiased evaluation or otherwise
prejudice the ultimate decision on the case.

So nice I back to the list. I hope I would not get an interview.

I was just thinking... USCIS adjudicators don't just do things on a whim - there are
manuals, memos, rules and regulations to follow.

The Adjudicator's Field Manual is available online and doesn't mention any special
rules for people approved without an interview.

Unless there's a secret memo we don't know about, or the redacted public version
of the manual is missing a few pages, we have to assume that the same rules apply
to everyone, no?

I would hate to be rushed because my GC is almost expiring and I don't have an extension NOA yet.

That's a valid point. On the other hand, I haven't used my GC once in the past 2 years,
so I don't really care if it expires.

From what I can see already it seems people who have filed at TSC stand a chance of being transferred, the VSC seem like they go into a hole, hopefully that will come out soon, no pattern with the other two service centres

That's just great. rolleyes.gif

In 2003, when we submitted our K-1 papers to CSC, VSC was the fastest centre and CSC the slowest.

Now that we're in NYC and will be sending our stuff to VSC, CSC is the fastest centre and VSC the slowest.

That's very interesting (and strange)!!

I just checked the online status of my (and my son's) old files and our I-485s were both touched in January 2007. I'm guessing they're moving old files to their new centralized data center.

Yes! My old I-485 was touched in Jan 2007 as well.

Mawilson: nothing here yet. Last touch was in June 24.

:blink: :o

my I-485 was touched... but nothing on the I-751 since 7 July

When was your I-485 touched?

Strangely enough, my I-485 was also touched in January -- exactly one year after the approval date.
(I haven't filed the I-751 yet.)
