Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionOld TSC cases transferred to VSC
QUOTE (junglee069 @ Mar 24 2008, 03:56 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
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.

We are still SRC applicants i.e. they have not changed our SRC# to EAC# we still have our SRC# and should be treated in the order as we applied. I swap my SRC# to EAC# (Vermont applicant# just to verify that they haven't done anything to our number) and did case status search but that EAC# belongs to someone else.

Hope fully that mean we are not mixed with any VRC applicants. And hopefully ,,,,,,, very soon.


Assuming they would assign us EAC numbers, they couldn't be the same anyway because the numbers have meaning as to year, day, etc. -- I can't remember the protocol. I still think that we will be treated as if we had actually filed with VSC on our TSC NOA1 dates. Although I'm still hard-pressed to explain why a month has gone by and VSC has yet to adjudicate even the earliest of our petitions.

I agree. The whole transfer game is nothing but a cheap trick. For some reaosn we are always at the receiving end. First, TSC filers after July got transferred and we had to wait, seeing them get approved. Now we have been transferred but this time it slowed things down and we are put back in the far end of the line. I predict several months of seeing Jan/Feb TSC filers getting approved and VSC filers from late 2007 before we even get touched!!! This is what jokes about bureaucracy are made from!!!


You got that right. Some guy who filed his I-751 with the TSC in OCTOBER, 2007 just got approved and was crowing about it in another thread. Meanwhile we're getting it up the tailpipe without any lube. Your tax dollars at work. NOT!



Let's not even mention the chick who filed in NSC in JANUARY 2008, was transferred to CSC, and was approved the other week. Two, count 'em, two months. Do they have a rubber stamp for transfers at CSC? I wish they would lend it to VSC.

Anyway, so much for the express CIS policy of first come, first served. Another example of government lying to the sheeple to cover up its incompetence.

She does, amazingly enough. CIS policy provides that if the conditional resident whose NOA1 has or is about to expire is not in possession of an unexpired foreign passport, the CIS officer at the InfoPass appointment should issue a Form I-94 (arrival portion) containing a temporary I-551 stamp with a 12-month expiration date and a photograph of the conditional resident.

James - where do they take this photograph? If we go to the local USCIS field office (which is more likely now as the VSC drags their feet) will we have to provide it or will they take n on the spot (like your Drivers license).

My point is that we want to be virtually assured of a stamp with no hassles. If they claim "you need a photograph" then should we take a sample set at our local Walgreens before heading to our shcduled INFOPASS appt. at our local USCIS office (100 miles away)?


That's what I would do, or even take one myself if you have a digital camera and photo printer. (We did that for my son's passport with no problems.) But remember, you would only need to go the I-94 route with photos if your passport has expired or is about to expire.

Imailin,

I met an USCIS officer today with an infopass. One of my questions was: what if the 1 year extension pass and I have an expired passport (which I do). She said they would prefer a valid passport but, in case I do not get one by that time, I can come back to the office with photos and they would be able to give me some kind of card or paper stating my legal residence in USA. I hope she knows what she is talking about.

Anyone considered supplying the USCIS with additional info. for their "packet"?

For example, their 2007 joint IRS tax return (to be filed by April 15 of this year)?

Rememeber when they originally received our applications back at the TSC, they sent us a letter stating that we could at any time add to it.

I am wondering by forcing the VSC officers to dig out our appliactions upon receipt of new information, so that they can add to it, they'll think "Gee, let me just go ahead and adjudicate while I am at it"

Or do you think it just creates unnecessary confusion and possibly angering the VSC staff

(ie: We have TSC receipt numbers, the VSC guys may get ticked off at us for making them go dig through the pile to add the evidence and say "okay, that dude just wasted 30 minutes of my precious time adding more evidence to his thick application - I'll just move his to the bottom")


Anyone care to chime in?


I'm sitting tight. Our petition was current when we sent it in -- if they feel it's not current enough when they finally get around to adjudicating it, they can look in the mirror to see who to blame.

...but, i see nothing has really changed. no approvals!! i've been waiting over a year - i wonder if i can try to sue for services not rendered yet.


Nobody has any idea what is going on. And that includes CIS. I'm pretty sure how fast or slow we are processed at VSC -- whether we are put at the top or bottom of the pile -- has been left up to Paul Novak, the director of VSC (with an assist from his deputy, Sandra Bushey).

There will be a two-minute hate this morning at 11:00 a.m. EDT.

James, just curious. Any chance there is a possibility we accidentally haven't been processed yet or pending background checks etc or are we really at the end of the line? The only explanation for NOTHING to happen in 2 weeks seems to be this... My worst suspicions are that VSC is unaware of our "special status" aka "transfer is transfer, let them wait 7 months"...


I really don't know. Unlike the recent immediate transfers from TSC, we have TSC case numbers, so VSC would have to be aware that we are somehow "different," particularly because we all have NOA1 dates that are much older than any of the I-751 petitions that were filed directly or immediately transferred. Of course, that still wouldn't stop them from putting us at the bottom of the pile . . . .

I am glad they are working and wouldnt mind if they did us concurrently.. but so far we have been ignored... probably in the same pile as fresh TSC transfers....



aye. don't get me wrong, I am glad that our fellow VSC'ers are getting approved, but I was kinda hoping for some concurrent processing as well


Frankly, I would prefer to see those who filed directly at VSC back in August/September and later wait another 3-4 months while they work on US. My guess is that if they started working on us alone on Monday morning, it would still be another two months before my wife's petition is approved, which would equal a 13 month wait overall. So it wouldn't bother me one bit if the VSC filers ended up waiting 9-10 months overall (instead of 6-7).

This is not being selfish. People in the same situation in this country are supposed to be treated equally by the government. It's a fundamental right under the Constitution. CIS has blown that proposition out of the water.

So I am NOT happy when I see people who filed at VSC back in August or September (or even October) now getting approved three weeks after we've been sitting in the VSC system. Nor, obviously, am I happy to see these CSC people get approved two months after filing. Nothing personal against any of them individually, but I have no desire to congratulate them or anything of the sort.

Thanks James for the update on the stats - your math makes perfect sense. I knew it was not unreasonable to estimate that there were thousands of TSC transfers at the VSC.

And the $64,000 question is, what's happening? Why hasn't A_C head anything?

At least with A_C's enquiry yesterday, maybe they'll realise where the TSC transfer pile is and start working on them....


Maybe she forgot to tell them she is the Queen of the TSC-VSC Losers® -- la Reina, die Königin!

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionOld TSC cases transferred to VSC
I meant to mention, in adding to what I posted above, I think I read somewhere that there are 16 adjudicators assigned to process I-751s. At 45 minutes a petition, and with each adjudicator working 40 hour weeks, 853 petitions would be processed in a single week. That means it would take them 14 weeks (or about 3 months and a week) to go through all 12,000 of the transferred petitions.

My only question is: when are they going to start? Because if A_C went to the top of the pile, or even near it, and they started right in on us two weeks ago when we were "finalized" in the system, you would think she would have heard something by now.

I'm making an educated guess that there are roughly 12,000 TSC-VSC Loser® transferees, give or take.

According to the proposed rule it published in connection with the fee increases last year, CIS said that it received 143,000 I-751 petitions in FY2006 and estimated about the same for FY 2007-08. Divide that figure evenly among the four service centers (I have no other way of doing so) and you get 35,750. The TSC-VSC transferees consisted of petitions filed during a four month period from roughly mid-February 2007 to mid-June 2007. Four months is a third of a year. So if you divide 35,750 by three, you get 11,916.

You'll also note that CIS estimates that the actual time a service center spends to complete the review of an individual petition is about 45 minutes.

http://www.uscis.gov...roposedRule.pdf

(See p. 65-66 for the figures on the number of petitions received and p. 78 for the figure on completion rates.)

I suspect this is what caused those '07 TSC cases to be transferred :

SCOPS liaison has confirmed that the service centers are conducting "sweeps" to find adjustment of status cases that can be reviewed for adjudication under the changes in background check procedures announced by USCIS on February 4, 2008. AILA Doc. No. 08021366.


Nice theory but for the fact my wife didn't adjust status -- she received a CR-1 immigrant visa. You'd think they could cast a narrower net.

On edit: actually, the rumor I've heard is that they are simply consolidating adjudications of all I-751s in VSC and CSC.

Update from USCIS web page/// as of April 15 2008, they are still on NOA dates March 1 2007.... nothing new..... keep up the good work.... once and for all!!!


Did you notice that Texas is processing petitions from June 30th? Now that's a slap across the face.

We should get this law passed: Any immigration application that is not adjudicated within 1 year should receive a full refund of all fees. And then, every year that passes where the case still isn't adjudicated, another payment equal to application amount should be given(Of course, applications with a predetermined quota would obviously be exempt). I saw some applications still waiting for adjudication that go back to 2001!!


Texas doesn't HAVE any petitions from June 30! That's the date it started transferring all newly filed petitions to CSC.

Congrats, kal! And CiT, for what it's worth, I'm glad you showed up here, dude, because I would be feeling pretty cranky if there wasn't ANYONE before me (and licianne).

Updating kal and emo (and correcting CiT's last touch date) . . . no doubt now that everyone should get their card a week after approval.

Good news: they've found James' adjudicator and will bring him back to the workplace shortly:


Heh, good, maybe s/he'll be pissed off and will just rubber stamp the rest of the pile, CSC-style.

Or because you have Tweety's adjudicator. But from looking at the list, you can see there is something to the 2/25 - 2/26 last touch breakdown.

I like your theory James. Wife's last name starts with a "T" and we haven't been approved yet. May be today? Please!


Hmm, and other than Tweety's example, there was only one other post disproving the theory -- runeasy, who was approved on 3/28 and who said here that his last name began with a W. He didn't specify whether his wife had the same last name, though, and also he (or his spouse) is from Hong Kong. There might be something wacky there because the Chinese use their first names as last names (i.e., Deng Xiaoping's last name is Deng, not Xiaoping).

Alphabetical order: are we talking first name or last name?


we are an "S" and our approval via e-mail didn't come until 2:00 p.m. good luck and God bless for the anxious losers still awaiting.


Aha. We are a "W." If you buy the alphabetical order theory, that could mean they are doing "T"s today and won't get to me until Monday or even Tuesday. I wonder if licianne, the other 2/25 (aside from the Canadian in Texas newbie dude, I guess), has a last name that begins with something after "S"?

I´d rather have slow news than no news. Anyone see a correlation between "real VSC approvals" of the last days and the slowdown for us??


There was more than the one on Wednesday?

I'm beginning to think that maybe they are doing the 2/25 batch in alphabetical order, which would put me at the end of approvals for those folks. Did we completely shoot down that theory? I kinna remember.

Hi,

I got Card Production ordered email, on April 10th and got same email on April 11th.

On April 15th another email saying that "Approval notice sent". This is my current status, but i am hoping the card in mail any time.

i don't know about other people, who recently got approvals.




QUOTE (Gulskjegg @ Apr 16 2008, 03:07 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
On April 10th, the USCIS online status said "Card Ordered to be Produced, contact us in 30 days if you dont get the card", just like yours.

But! Now the online USCIS has changed to "Approval Notice Sent", because we got an approval notice yesterday.

For God's sake, I WISH I had taken a screen shot of that "card ordered" page, because now I have no proof it was ordered. I just called the USCIS customer service line and they said they cant go back and check previous updates.

I have a bad feeling the USCIS made a mistake in telling me my card was ordered.

Has anyone else gotten an update of "card ordered", but never actually gotten the card? Sounds odd, but this IS the USCIS were talking about. They seem to derive great pleasure from yanking our collective chain.




that means that the card its been sent ,mine says the same ,but you are approved already so do not worry about it !!!you may get your card during this week or the next one


You didn't get your card yesterday? Everyone has gotten their card seven days after getting approved. Don't wreck the streak!
