It's a party! We got an email late this evening saying the same "Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred. blah, blah, blah......." Lots of touching going on but nobody's getting to home plate.

There doesn't seem to be any order to it since our original NOA1 date from the TSC is 4/19/2007.



For a sick laugh check out the processing times for Texas now that they have unloaded the TSC "Losers" to Vermont, now 4/26/07, and poor Vermont hasn't moved off of March 1st, 2007 since last month's post. You have to feel for the VSC original filers. Texas has slowed then down.


What I find ironic is that my 4/20 NOA1 is now outside of the TSC processing time for the first time. Of course I'm no longer there (not that making a service request based on that, or even on the 3/1 VSC processing time, would do any good).

I had mine transfered to VST from texas on january 31 ,now today they changed status to pending ,is that mean that i am on the waiting list again!!! its been almost 1 year


Today??? Would you send us the exact paragraph??? Please!!!


Could be that he just checked the online status for today for the first time in over a week. No email was sent for the 2/14 touch, which says of one's current status that the "case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred."


I did receive an email on 2/14. It could be that some people's status is just now being updated from "transferred to VSC" to "pending at service center to which it was sent" whereas other's (yours truly) have been updated last week. If this is the case, instead of approving the transferrees one by one, they may just want to approve everyone at the same time (which kind of sucks because being a March filer I don't want to be approved with an April filer on the same day - I want at least a one day lead :-).



Yeah, I misspoke, there was an email for 2/14 obviously, and I got one, too, and now so have a bunch of others for, what, 2/22? 2/23? What does the online status say for "last updated"?

My status hasn't been updated since Feb 04 - and after reading that a lot of you have received sth on 14th I started to freak out. 'Glad' to hear though there are some others that have not heard anything since the "Transferred" notice unsure.gif

Btw, I feel special to be leading the list of the TCS aka VSC loosers now good.gif crying.gif


All hail A_C, King of the TSC-VSC Losers®!

But since you haven't been touched since 2/4, I have no idea what the significance is of you and others not getting the 2/14 notice that the petition was received by VSC. Obviously not a chronological thing.

Maybe there were two pickup trucks from TSC, and the one carrying your petition broke down somewhere in Kentucky.

Just bumping this so it doesn't get buried.... looks like we are back in waiting mode and no-one has news. sad.gif



Guten Tag fellow Okie! We are in the same boat, get the same message ever time I check case status, but I am getting tired of cutting and pasting our SRC# to the check your case status inquiry. Perhaps we will get our AOS before expiration date. I notice another post from a TSC AOS submitter who submitted late last year and was sent to the CSC.


Why don't you register for an account and indicate that you want email notification? That way you can just login and see when you were last touched (and receive notifications via email of approval or other major developments).

Anyway, I think it's kind of odd that some of us received these "petition received" emails and others haven't, as if they are still in limbo somewhere between TSC and VSC. I can only imagine that it must mean all of us are at VSC, only some of us have been placed in an "on deck circle" or something like that. Who knows . . . .

As some of us will be nearing actual expirations of our NOA#1 within the next couple of weeks/months, has anyone been through the process of getting a renewal stamp in their passport, for the pruposes of travel? In addition, what if the green card takes forever to arrive (I have heard nightmare stories where it can take few weeks -> 6 months from the time card production is orderered, or they screw up something on the card)? I have these questions:

1. How do you go about making an INFOPASS appointment? Do you call, website?

2. After requesting an appointment, within how many days to they actually schedule the appointment? (are we talking days/weeks/months?)

Of course I have heard that you need to provide evidence at the appointment that you intend to travel (booked airline tickets).

I will have to do this for my wife in May, but I need to start making contingency plans - we are dealing with the USCIS.

Appreciate any tips/advice.

Thanks


You make your InfoPass appointment here: http://infopass.uscis.gov/.

The amount of time until your appointment would depend on your local office.

Someone mentioned somewhere that they are now requiring that you have made a service request through the customer service line and have a service request number before they'll give you an appointment, but I'm not sure about that . . . .

James, didn't the article discuss how USCIS was going to streamline the background check? I read either the same article or a similar article that discussed the backlog and chronic problems associated with USCIS.


It was actually an editorial in Sunday's Times. It simply discussed the fact that wait times for green cards and naturalization were way up, as well as the news that USCIS had loosened up the FBI background check rule, and contrasted that with the number of employers using the government's immigrant employment verification service and Bush's proposal of giving that particular service another $100 million. Skewed priorities . . . hence the closing quotation, which I put in my sig.

Aaaahhh, thank you, good sir. May Paraguay always lose to Uruguay in football.



Lol, well I'm English and we always lose in the World Cup semi-finals. Anyone from Germany in the 4 above? If so, I bet you'll get approved first crying.gif



Oh, pah-leez, if anyone, a French couple deserves to be approved first. Everyone knows that the damn spaghetti eaters stole the World Cup from Zidane during the 2006 final match.


Sorry, it's apparent from the most recent approval that VSC has decided to work its way down from Colombia to the rest of South America. Word has apparently seeped through from single VSC adjudicators who went to happy hours while vacationing in Miami that the hottest talent comes from South America. And I'm not talking football soccer.



South America! South America!!! who got approve today!!! come on!! GIVE me someone last touch on 02/26/2008!!!!! whoever!!!


If the past week's experience is any guide, email approvals appear somewhere between 8:30 am and 10:00 am.

but the only difference is that my case was then transferred to loacl office for adjudication. Havent heard anything since 03/20/08, the date I received the letter stating the case was transferred to local office for adjudication.


Not to be snooty or anything, but this exclusive club is for those old TSC filers whose cases were transfered to and are pending at VSC, not local offices. Looks like you're really in the Dr. ZoSo club.

It would be really helpful to know how long it takes till the card comes through.


Done. Although if gatorlink is any example, it looks like they're coming a week after approval.

Here is a theory behind random approving. They approve people whose pictures are sub-par on the 10-point scale (she is a perfect ten type thing vs. she is a definite 3). They keep all the pretty ones for as long as they can. Hey, at least that may explain James' theory why our files are kept in the basement under the cherry coke boxes next to the BATHROOM.

I checked the online status late today and it showed that we had been touched and approved as of 3/31/2008. Our case status is now "Card production ordered." I wish everyone who had filed before us had gotten approved but I hope this means that it will happen soon.


Congrats, bro! Looks like VSC may be plowing through the pile, even if out of chronological order. If they did 5 of us on the list over the past week, they must have processed over 2000 of the total TSC-VSC transfers. If they keep it up, that would mean that the last of us should be approved by May 5 or so.

plausible - trying to adjudicate based on whether or not someone has kids requires that they go through all the applications- at which point they may as well approve as they are going through.

so the next theory - they pick up a stack - if it's lighter in weight, they decide to go through it. if it's not, they put it aside. that is the only theory i can come up with for now!

Actually they did at some capacity went thru our files when almost all of us were touched on 2/25


I guess it wouldn't be that difficult to determine from just looking at a petition for 15-20 seconds or so whether it had a birth certificate attached . . . but then again, I think we're talking about 12,000 petitions that were transfered.


wow 12,000 transfer.. James How you know this... excuse my ignorance....


It was a rough guesstimate based on CIS's own figures -- dividing the number of I-751s they projected receipt of last year by 4 (for the 4 service centers) and then dividing that figure again by 4 (since the bulk transfers represent 1/4th of the year's petitions filed at TSC).

I have a feeling that in the transfer and resorting process, they were put in piles in no particular order at all. They shuffled the deck, in other words.

Guys, keep your finger cross, I think you will get your approval very soon!
By the way, my last name is "W" so I don't think they are alphabetically sorting our application, Good Luck!


runeasy:
WHAT IS THE FIRST LETTER OF YOUR LAST NAME? OR WIFE'S LAST NAME??? PLEASE LET US KNOW!!!


He said right there that it's "W" -- so I don't think the alphabetical-order theory holds water anymore.

From the way it looks, anybody on the list could get approved at any time.

Great news, Joel!! I'm glad for you and your wife. It looks like they're jumping around:

Well, so much for that theory! Congratulations, though!

Maybe they're alternating from taking petitions from the top of the pile and the bottom of the pile.

Okay, so the date now for the VSC is Feb. 2, 2007 on I-751 applications.

The most logical explanation is that they had to go backward on that date because of the TSC to VSC transfers. At least they are owning up to that fact. So A_C, the first of the transferees cannot complain becuase A_C (and the rest of us) are officially within the processing timeframe.

The flip side is that it does not seem that they are inclined to really speed up our processing; we are not an exception. We have been lumped within the standard processing timeframe. The upside is that they acknowledge us transferees and they are working on our applications and do consider them valid VSC cases hence the backtracking to Feb 1, 2007 from March 1 , 2007.

Good Luck to all!



Well, we all know that the processing times have never been connected with service center reality, regardless of what form is being processed. Bear in mind that VSC's date in January and February was March 2007, even though they had processed most of I-751s that were filed in July 2007.

I don't seriously believe that they are doing them in alphabetical order. Actually, I don't know what to believe, nor what to make of the approval from the middle of the pack. Then again, those of us on this list represent about 0.002% of the total TSC-VSC transferees. So I will buy any explanation, short of one involving aliens from outer space.

I'm wondering if gatorlink's last name begins with an "A" . . . maybe they're doing it in alphabetical order (hence all the touching and sorting they did after the cases were received at VSC).


My last name does start with "An" I really doubt that they sorted them alphabetically though. Just doesnt seem logical.....but we are talking about the USCIS.


Interesting... but I would think that's just coincidental.



I'm not so sure, and I certainly hope not. But, as gatorlink says, we are after all talking about CIS. And other than perhaps having shuffled all of our cases like a deck of cards, I can't think of another reason for VSC to first approve someone who is smack dab in the middle of the pack chronologically speaking.

Does anyone else here have a last name beginning with "A"? (Or "B" or "C" maybe, just so we can test out this little theory in the weeks ahead?)

We have a "B".

What's the date on what you call in your signature the "application received receipt" (i.e., NOA1)? Presumably, it's sometime between June 8 and June 13.

Adding and welcoming Yashar (sorry, I don't know much about waiver petitions, but yours seems to be far less problematic than others, who were not on good terms with their former spouse).

I'm wondering if gatorlink's last name begins with an "A" . . . maybe they're doing it in alphabetical order (hence all the touching and sorting they did after the cases were received at VSC). I hope not because while our last name isn't Zyzowski, it ain't all that far away . . . (and while my wife's maiden name isn't Aaronson, it's pretty close, which would make me wish she kept that name!).

I am a little disappointed that it wasn't A_C but thinking that maybe we've been distributed among a bunch of case workers, it is good news. As much as I want my wife to get approved, I really want those ahead of us to get approved before we do. Fair is fair (except to the USCIS!).


*elbows out* Every man for himself! Heh, just kidding, I feel the same way, too. It's only fair.

Thank you, Kezzie. Hopefully, VSC has put extra adjudicators on so they can clear us all out of there promptly.

Thanks A LOT! Actually, I'm putting the NOA1 date as the receipt date at TSC (4/26), since that was the case with my NOA1, which was issued just six days before. I'm also putting the Last Touched date as 2/25 based on that.

Anyway, congrats to you, gatorlink! I know some of the other Losers who filed up to two months before you are disappointed that VSC is not doing this in chronological order, but the important thing is that they are doing it!

Think about it - they ask you to apply to remove conditions 90 days before your Green card expires. If this were a well-oiled machine, you'd get your green card within 90 days.


That's exactly what is supposed to happen, i.e., what the statute and the regulations implementing the statute contemplate. By the end of 90 days, you're supposed to either have had your petition adjudicated or have been called in for an interview.

What's odd is that CSC has in many cases been able to do precisely that. You would think that the powers that be at CIS would tell the other service center directors to do whatever it is that is working at CSC. But then again, "senior management" at CIS is anything but -- they are merely incompetent political appointees, cronies, and hacks. The "heckuva job, Brownie" crowd.

Hi Homies!

I dont know if this is the most updated list but i am adding to it!

After my application sat around for a month longer than all of yours at TSC, it did eventually get transferred to VSC on last Friday March 21st 08 - pretty weird. My NOA is also more recent than everyone on the list...

Good news for you! But that IS weird. Wonder why TSC just sat on it for a month? And I wonder if that means the other handful of folks who were left behind have been (with early February 2007 and late June 2007 NOA1 dates) have been/are being transferred?

Here is the most recent list:

My wife's parents reside overseas. If something were to happen tomorrow and she needed to get back, she would need all her travel documents in order. I'm sure that's the case with a majority, not a minority here. That means a valid passport and a valid Green Card. So we don't have a valid green card which means a 200 mile roundtrip to the USCIS field office on a business day to get an extension stamp in a passport. Thats $$ for gas, and $$ in lost income for both of us as we have to take the entire day off.

So travelling to the USCIS office is an expense, but going overseas isn't?

Hm.

In any case, the only adverse affect the wait is having on me is the uncertainty given my current domestic situation. I'll lawyer up if needs be but, yeah, it's been over a year for me as well. It's pretty ridiculous - ESPECIALLY since TSC applicants from October 2007 are getting approved! You'll have to excuse my annoyance on that one.


I don't what the deal is with the TSC applicants from October who have just been approved. They actually had to wait a bit longer than most of the TSC-CSC transferees. There were TSC applicants from July -- a month after the very last of us -- who were approved way back in September.

i was wondering....

so far the lack of renewal hasn't really hindered our ability to do anything - i mean it really hasn't made a difference in day to day life. the only thing i can imagine is that if the wife needed to leave the country it might be a problem as we are a year into having applied.

so outside of being outright annoying - what real difference has it made on anyones lives? really..? i'm not trying to say that the USCIS is right in taking so long - what i am trying to find out is what adverse affect has it had on anyone - substantial affect...


Unless we get lucky in the next three months before the NOA1 expires, my wife is going to have to do an InfoPass (w/at least one kid in tow) to get the stamp.
