Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Any recent approvals out of the Texas Service Center	I have a feeling TSC suffered a meltdown in June. People with January NOA1s had gotten June approvals, then all of sudden they started transferring I-751s to CSC at the beginning of July. And nobody (at least around VJ) still at TSC from February on has been approved since.	James	Not Telling	Colombia	2007-09-10 10:06:00

When you look on the USCIS site for the current processing times: https://egov.uscis.g...eviceCenter=TSC Instead of Feb. 13 it now says 6 months... I bet it will stay at 6 months until hell freezes over too. Just a cheap trick to not having to report an exact date.... - but that's just my opinion. Wow, I had not noticed that. Although I guess in fairness, there doesn't seem to be much difference -- it could just mean that they are currently processing applications with an NOA1 date of six months before the date of the processing time update. Then again, it could mean they have a license to weasel.	James	Not Telling	Colombia	2007-09-06 16:06:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Any recent approvals out of the Texas Service Center	QUOTE (Cassie @ Sep 4 2007, 11:25 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Am I the only person that seems not to be too stressed about this? I mean, when I sent my I-751 I was expecting a minimum of a 6 month wait. *dunno* Nope, but it's just when you see people who filed at TSC three months after you getting transferred to CSC and approved already, well, it just ain't fair! But life isn't fair, and you're right -- I wasn't expecting approval for about six months anyway. BTW, Cassie, you have my permission to start obsessing now, if you like, lol. I'm interested in seeing if lovedolphins has been approved -- last week was six months from their NOA -- but he (she?) hasn't been around for over a week.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Any recent approvals out of the Texas Service Center	QUOTE (lovedolphins @ Aug 28 2007, 07:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow! So it seems that the later you filed, the faster the applications are being processed, largely due to many being transferred to the CSC. However in the case of ours from November '06 - March '07 - we are stuck, somewhere at the TSC. My date is February 28. According to the USCIS Website they are processing applications up to Feb 13. Do they do one a day? Okay, if I haven't heard anything in a week I am going to call. Then I will get my senator involved...Darn,, where is John Edwards when you need him! Well, if the processing times are correct, you should literally be hearing any day now. Be sure and let us all know!	James	Not Telling	Colombia	2007-08-30 06:57:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Any recent approvals out of the Texas Service Center	Somebody? Anybody? No one has reported an approval out of TSC for two months, at least according to the timelines here. Seems like the bunch of us who filed at TSC in the months before they started transferring I-751s on July 1 have fallen into a black hole.	James	Not Telling	Colombia	2007-08-27 12:52:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Any recent approvals out of the Texas Service Center	As the USCIS implies on the processing times page, if your NOA 1 date was before January 13 (as of mid-July) and you still haven't been approved, you probably have other problems with your petition (RFEs, etc.).	James	Not Telling	Colombia	2007-08-15 06:15:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Any recent approvals out of the Texas Service Center	This is really, really pathetic. Why didn't they just send the petitions to CSC? Why do we have to wait - and WAIT - AND WAIT - for nothing? Give your NOA date, if you don't hear within the next couple of weeks, then we'll know they've really fallen behind. Actually, we may know by the end of this week, when the new processing times come out. If they stay at January 13 or move up less than a month, we'll know that they've slowed down. Wonder where all that new fee money they're getting is going?	James	Not Telling	Colombia	2007-08-14 07:07:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Any recent approvals out of the Texas Service Center	Kee-rist. I'd mentioned yesterday that we hadn't seen anybody with an NOA later than January been approved in TSC, but thought maybe it was because those with February/March NOAs just hadn't been here for a while. Now I know that those people in the Dallas area who work for TSC have better things to do, like, for example, picking their noses and watching the grass grow. No wonder USCIS is sending I-751s from TSC to CSC. Doesn't matter how much USCIS increased the fees; TSC will always be the same. These country clowns have proven time and again that they can't cut the mustard. May their pickup trucks spontaneously explode.	James	Not Telling	Colombia	2007-08-11 21:26:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	ATTENTION: TSC and NSC no longer processing I-751	QUOTE (Jenn! @ Jun 29 2008, 04:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought it might be a good idea to post this memo here. Maybe some will check this thread before sending their petition and avoid the delay of being transferred from NSC to CSC or from TSC to VSC. I think it's important enough to warrant its own pinned thread. There are still plenty of people who are just blindly sending petitions to TSC and NSC. IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR NEW FILERS READ THE MEMO POSTED ABOVE!!! Failure to do so will result in a delay in processing!	James	Not Telling	Colombia	2008-07-09 08:25:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Infopass in Seattle - I-551 stamp	QUOTE (radacos @ Jun 25 2008, 01:54 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi everyone! Today I went to the Seattle field office for my scheduled Infopass. I had no trouble at all getting my passport stamped; the stamp is good until June 2009 (a year from today, and 6 months after my NOA expires). Also, for what it's worth, the officer checked the status of my case, confirmed that it is still pending, and told me, "for these cases (removal of conditions), it takes about a year." I am a NSC -> CSC transferee. Wishing everyone speedy processing! --Ileana What it's worth is not much. He has no idea. No way NSC-CSC transfers take a year. Everyone I've seen with your NOA1 date or thereabouts has taken from 3-5 months. You are on the outside of that timeframe right now.	James	Not Telling	Colombia	2008-06-25 06:53:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Old TSC cases transferred to VSC	QUOTE (baunzerbrudi @ Jul 18 2008, 08:14 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I put in a service request. My confirmation number for that ends in "csc". does that mean they sent it to California? I thought we were in Vermont! Wow, now maybe dallaschic's post from a couple of days ago makes sense -- she said she had been told she was transferred to CSC. Maybe VSC has gotten rid of all pre-September I751s and dumped them in California. Un-freakin-believable. You'll have to start a new TSC-VSC-CSC Losers thread if that's the case. Unless of course CSC decides it has too many I751s and convinces the USCIS bigwigs to let them send you to NSC, which doesn't have any right now. Then NSC will claim overwork and will send you to TSC where you began.	James	Not Telling	Colombia	2008-07-18 10:25:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Any recent approvals out of the Texas Service Center	QUOTE (kalstravels @ Jan 29 2008, 04:14 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Congratulations to all those receiving their 10-year green cards! I have decided to post after viewing the postings and being utterly frustrated... I am a US citizen, my wife is a "conditonal" green card holder...from Canada...you think we would go easy on our friendly northern neighbor, a chief supplier of electricity... First of all here is a timeline (Please add us to the timeline) Filed Application with TSC (Texas Service Center) on 03/14/07. 03/23/07 - First NOA date 04/20/07 - Biometrics 01/18/08 - Enquired via the Helpline about application through a live operator (a live person is hard to find) request placed, no word yet. Checking the website about our specific case, it still shows March 23, 2007 (the first NOA date) The timeline for the TSC shows that they are now processing applications as of April 19, 2008. This memo states Jan. 15, 2008, but it was really posted on Jan. 26, 2008. Trust me, I check the website everyday.... The previous one posted in mid-December 2007 states that they were processing application as of April 8, 2007. You mean to say, that in 30 days, they only went through 10 days worth of applications? Okay, I'll excuse my fellow Americans at the TSC for taking the "holidays" off.... What baffles me is that how can the TSC simply forward applications to the CSC and VSC ahead of those already in line? For example, those that aplied in July via the TSC had their approved in October via the CSC. It simply is not fair. I'm gald that someone who applied in early March 2007has been approved, but there are others in January 2007 that are still waiting. Which Texas Senator do you write to? (We live in Texas) Maybe I'll vote in the Republican Texas primray so that the Senator's office knows I'm a registered Republican so that they will handle my enquiry quickly. I daresay voting Democrat in a Texas primray will get you anywhere.. Texas is a Republican state.... Welcome to VJ, fellow TSC Loser®! We have long been at a loss to explain what goes on at TSC. As best as we can figure out, they got swamped just before the fee increase went into effect last year and have never been able to get their head above water. It's odd that your last touched date is the date of your NOA1. Is that really the date in the "Last Update" column on the website? Usually it's a day or so after the biometrics. Re: contacting your senator from Texas -- you might just have some luck. JLR contacted Senator Cornyn's office and got a relatively early approval for someone who had filed in February 2007. We speculated that Cornyn might have some pull. Certainly worth a shot. Adding kalstravels . . . .

The funny thing is, when the same inquiry was submitted to TSC in October (three months ago), the response from TSC was "We are currently processing petitions filed on 2/23/07." Why am I not surprised? I believe one's senator must personally know someone/have leverage over a higher-up in TSC to actually have any effect.

I can't imagine they won't clear that month of NOA1s by the time May rolls around. Then again, we are talking TSC here . . . .	James	Not Telling	Colombia	2008-01-18 15:26:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Any recent approvals out of the Texas Service Center	QUOTE (akwalta @ Jan 18 2008, 02:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (James @ Sep 24 2007, 02:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But there's no doubt that even if your I-751 has not been adjudicated, you can go right ahead and apply for citizenship 90 days before your third anniversary (i.e., a year after you were allowed to petition to have the conditions removed). I thought the 3-year mark applied to the green card, not to the wedding anniversary. For instance, we wed in December '04 and he got the green card in May '05. I thought we had to wait until Feb '08 to apply for citizenship. I was referring to the anniversary of receiving your green card, not the anniversary of your marriage. That's what I meant to when I said "a year after you were allowed to petition to have the conditions removed" -- you are allowed to petition to remove conditions 90 days before the second anniversary of having received your green card.

I'm reading through this thread, because we are still awaiting my husband's conditions to be lifted. The NOA is sometime last February. He called for a status update as listed above, and they eventually sent a letter that basically said, "It's not completed yet." What a joke. No explanation, no apology. They didn't even look at it. So... what happens when the 1-year extension (granted by the NOA) expires? It will soon. Your husband needs to make an InfoPass appointment and get an I-551 stamp in his passport.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Any recent approvals out of the Texas Service Center	QUOTE (Angel7422 @ Jan 17 2008, 07:43 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am beginning to wonder if I should go ahead and contact my senator now because maybe he can inquire abt all this waiting and how come ppl who file with TSC and get transferred to CSC in October get approved before the ones who filed in January-June at TSC. My husband and I are due to file for Naturalization in April and still no 10 yr green card to copy to include in paperwork. By the way what if he dont get my husband's 10-yr green card by April can we file without it and what can we use in its place. The problem with you or I contacting a senator or doing a service inquiry is that we're still within the posted processing time, which shows that TSC is (at least as of Dec. 14) working on I-751s with an NOA1 of April 8, 2007. Therefore, the answer you're bound to get is that you are still within the processing time. I'm assuming you filed your I-751 close to 90 days before the expiration of the conditional green card, which would mean that your NOA1 extension letter should still be good until July. If you still haven't gotten a permanent card by the end of June, your husband should make an InfoPass appointment and get an I-551 stamp in his passport.

It's January 16, and there have been NO approvals out of the Texas Service Center since December. So, basically half the month has gone by, and none of us have been approved.... Just wanted to clarify... Not surprised. The official *cough*lyingthroughtheirteeth*cough* processing time released in December moved ahead only one day from the one released in November. They seem to be permanently stuck adjudicating random petitions from the first half of February 2007, which I'm sure must drive you in particular nuts, being so close and all.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Any recent approvals out of the Texas Service Center	QUOTE (licianne @ Jan 14 2008, 08:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> USCIS Contradicts itself again.... I called TSC back on 11/13/07 to inquire about our case (received by USCIS 04/05/07, NOA Date of 04/20/07. The CSR agreed it was outside of their processing times and initiated a service request. I changed our address at that time, as well. The reply from TSC stated: "The status of the service request is: Our records indicate that you filed I-751 to Remove Conditions. As of this date, your I-751 is still pending. A card will not be produced until this action is completed." I just got another letter from TSC today. It says "Our review indicates that this case is actually within or current processing time. Your I-751 case is ready for review selection. We regret any misunderstanding. If you do not receive a decision or notice of other action within our current processing time, check our website for an update or call customer service at the number provided below." I am also waiting for a response from our senator. One question. On the second letter I got from USCIS they mispelled my husband's name (he is the applicant, I am the USC). But on the first letter they spelled it right. Should I worry??? At least I know they updated our address.... Generally, if his name is spelled correctly on the NOA1, I wouldn't worry about it. But because you updated your address, it's conceivable they might have introduced an error in the spelling of his name when they did so. You would probably want to have that corrected in case they issue the card with the misspelling so you don't have to go through the hassle (a no-fee hassle because it was their fault, but nevertheless a hassle) of getting a replacement card. I've come to realize from witnessing others go through them that service requests are not worth the time or energy. Nothing ever comes out of them other than readings from a script written by Captain Obvious.	James	Not Telling	Colombia	2008-01-15 12:38:00

Why give yourself false hope? Based on your NOA1, I wouldn't expect to be approved before the end of April. I don't expect to be approved before the middle of March.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Any recent approvals out of the Texas Service Center	QUOTE (A_C @ Dec 16 2007, 01:19 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Here is the reply to my service request that I received a few weeks ago. Request was put in on Sept 25, reply is dated Oct 23. The status of this service request is: Based on your request we researched the status of this case. We are actively processing this case. However, we have to perform additional review on this case and this has caused a longer processing time. If you do not receive a decision or other notice of action from us within 6 month of this letter, please call customer service at the number provided below. .... 6 months from the date it was sent is EXACTLY when my 1 year extension of the GC is expiring "additional review" ... hm, that doesn't sound good. I think I'll start gathering info and contact a senator to look into it after the holidays. Sounds fishy to me. You could translate the "additional review" sentence as "This case is still sitting in the dog-eared cardboard box in the janitorial closet of the basement mens room with the other I-751 petitions from you losers and we will get to it when we darn well feel like it."

My guess: April 12, 2007 - they've moved a couple of days lol I'm looking for them to be honest in the spirit of the season and move backwards two months.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Any recent approvals out of the Texas Service Center	I forgot to add amir to our list and welcome him as a fellow TSC Loser®!! I'm also taking the liberty of deleting the "Date of I-751" column. Given that people use different means of delivery, the date the I-751 was sent to TSC is not of much importance, and particularly at our stage of the game -- the NOA1 date is the one that counts. If anyone objects, it'd be no big deal to add it back. It's not like this list changes very often.
