Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionAny recent approvals out of the Texas Service Center
(I don't like this VJ feature that combines replies to two separate messages in one post . . . .)

I forgot to mention -- the official TSC processing time is 6 months and 12 days. Our NOA1 was issued . . . 6 months and 12 days ago.

Today I become a TSC Super Loser®.



Time to bring out the GIANT dancing banana!

We sent our app for removal of conditions to TSC on 7-30-07, did biometrics in september, and she just received the 10 year green card 10-30-07 with no interview, not bad considering she arrived on 11-1-05, TSC ROCKS!!!! good.gif good.gif

Do you point and laugh at the developmentally disabled, too?

Our Senator has launched an inquiry with a Super-Advisor laughing.gif at the Texas Service Center regarding the discrepancy of processing times.

Okay everyone, let's all hold our breaths and wait for a timely response!

Is the Super-Advisor in charge of TSC Super Loser® petitions?

BTW, who is your senator?

do we really need white dots in between the dates? too much code makes it really hard to find things in the table now....


I was just thinking the same thing (before you beat me to posting the update)! 6910 added this, which does make it look cleaner, but what a pain to find the people and their dates when editing. I can strip it all out easily enough . . . .

The Preview Post button is your friend! And in this thread, probably a necessity. Just remember to copy the {font="Lucida Sans Unicode"} and {/font} tags at the beginning and end.

Edit: BTW, 6901, are you really married to Ziyi Zhang? lol

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionFollow-up approval notice after receiving GC?
QUOTE (Muergana @ Jul 17 2008, 12:42 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Is there any other letter that comes in the mail after your Permanent Green Card is delivered?

Just wondering because online status changed from "Card Ordered" to "Approval Notice Sent"... and we are on the middle of a move!

Anyone recently approved please let me know.


Although I believe most people do, we never got a second letter. I don't even recall getting a first one, for that matter. We just got a "card ordered" email and then the card a week later. In fact, our online status still reads "card ordered." I wouldn't worry about these letters. What can you do with them except file them away? It's the card that's the important thing. Yours will probably arrive today given that they've been arriving from VSC like clockwork a week after the card ordered email.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionSworn Affidavits...
The OP does not list one of the key pieces of evidence specifically mentioned by CIS, i.e., a mortgage/deed/lease. True, the couple has a child together -- a golden piece of evidence -- but I would not be telling someone lacking deed/lease evidence that they do not need other evidence that is also specifically mentioned by CIS because I hadn't sent in such evidence (particularly where I had yet to be approved!). In the absence of mortgage/deed/lease evidence, I would certainly obtain an affidavit from the person who is providing living arrangements, even if it is a family member. And it certainly would not hurt to buttress it with another affidavit from another family member.

I understand that we could get them from family members but a part of me feels like that's a little frowned on (and I don't know why).


You can absolutely use family members. They are certainly competent to testify that you did not enter into the marriage in order to evade the immigration laws.

We were approved without affidavits but we had other strong evidence (2 kids and our names on the deed to our house, among other things). Sending affidavits can never hurt and can only help, particularly if you are worried about the quality of your other evidence.

This is just what happened to us old TSC-VSC Losers when we were transferred.

We all received email on Jan. 31 saying that we were being transferred to VSC. Then on Feb. 13, most of us received email saying our cases had been received by and were pending at the "USCIS office" to which they had been transferred. On Feb. 22, the rest of us got this same received and pending email. Then we were all touched a couple of times in the next 2-3 days. Then nothing until our approvals started dribbling out a little more than a month later. (Of course, unlike you folks, our old NOA1 dates ostensibly moved us to the top of the VSC pile.)

That's what all of us old TSC-VSC bulk transfers received after we were transferred en masse to VSC. And it's still all I seeon my online case status page Get used to this message, because it's all you will see on your online status, too, until you're approved (or get an RFE).

Anyway, you've been sent to VSC. I've mentioned it here or in another thread -- there is no doubt you ALL will end up going to VSC.

Thanks!


Select the option "You are a new Permanent Resident and have not yet received your Permanent Resident Card" -- that will get you the appointment for the stamp. It may sound a little off (b/c you do have your conditional card), but it's the right one.

Edit: looking at the list, even with all the Losers transferred to VSC removed, you can see how ridiculous this is. JLR had an NOA1 date 4 days after ven2lin, yet he was approved SIX AND A HALF MONTHS EARLIER than ven2lin (and still after having waiting 9 months himself).

I don't know why they haven't fired the directors and top management of both TSC and VSC. They are hopeless incompetents.

I'm thinking they've got to be transferring you to VSC at some point. TSC just isn't working on I-751s anymore.

This must have something to do with the fact you had such a relatively late biometrics, which ended up putting you somewhere else in the pile. Mr. Big Dog and Muergana were recently transferred to VSC after being stuck at TSC long after the rest of us were transferred, but they had biometric appointments later than yours.

Well, it's a theory.

Wow, that sucks. You would think they'd do something on your case in response to receiving what you sent in for the RFE.

You only really need the stamp if you are going to travel abroad or for proof of employment eligibility (if you don't have an unrestricted SSN card). Also if you're Mexican and plan on traveling through Maricopa County, Arizona.

Well, this is kind of messy, but whaddya gonna do. I had to eliminate the date sent column, which is meaningless anyway (except, perhaps, if one hasn't received an NOA1, but that is limited to markwash02, who was approved in December).

I've made a couple of assumptions. First, that everyone on the list who was transferred did NOT get the notice that says "we transferred this case to our VERMONT SERVICE CENTER location to conduct the interview."

I've heard that some people have gotten this notice (e.g., a newbie named disneyworld and a couple of others), but I don't see anyone on the list. Check your notice and let me know if it does say this.

Also I'm assuming everyone who was transferred was touched on Feb. 4.

We should probably start a new thread with a list abandoning the already-approved and the left-behind . . . .

Fellow TSC LOSERS,

I have good news and excellent news, not sure if they are related to each other... I sent in my application N-400 which was received on Feb 1st at TSC (as per USPS online) On that application I sent in copies of expired card along with copy of NOA extension letter.

This morning I received an Email, confirming card production kicking.gif , here is what it says,

"The last processing action taken on your case

Receipt Number: SRC07104*****

Application Type: CRI89 , PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED

Current Status: Card production ordered.

On February 1, 2008, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you...."
I guess things are finally getting done. Not sure if N-400 application had anything to do with it. Also I have been checking everyday and I never got a "touch" GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! good.gif

Congrats, vumbi! And good luck on naturalization. Say, you never did get to be King of the Losers!

Speaking of the King, I'm wondering if ven2lin was either approved or got an RFE. I don't think they transferred anybody with an NOA1 of February 15 or before.

It looks like people with NOA1s after February 15, 2007 were either transferred or got socked with RFEs, while everyone after March 1 was just transferred.

well..do you think the interview requests mean the ones who did not recieve that notice won't be interviewed? Has anyone gotten the promnised explanation in the mail?


Something tells me we are back at the very beginning of the process, waiting to be receipted in some dusty VSC mailroom.... Let the fun start all over again... whistling.gif



I don't know -- I was just touched again today (it's not even 8 a.m. yet!). That could be the "arrival" at VSC or maybe I'm on an adjudicator's desk. Or something in between . . . .

Submitted I-751 to TSC Jan 8, rec'd NOA from VSC Jan 25, got one year extension. Recd biometrics appt letter Feb 2. good.gif


Uh, I'm sure this is confusing for you, but this thread is for those of us who filed at TSC before July 1 of last year. All of our files were suddenly transferred en masse to VSC last week. Yours (along with all new petitions filed at TSC) was transfered to VSC automatically without ever having to endure even an overnight stay at TSC -- let alone the 7-12 months we have endured.

My theory is this: Nobody in USCIS has any idea ####### is going on!



well put.

we can analyze all we want - but that is true. no one at USCIS has any idea ####### is going on.

maybe if we go through this ####### enough, we can draft suggestions to the USCIS and act as 'consultants' as i doubt anyone really attempts to trend their stats as much as we do ;-)




They couldn't pay me enough! This thing keeps getting weirder and weirder, too. Some people have apparently received email saying they were not only transfered to VSC, but transfered for an interview. People with NOA1s a month or two after yours and mine, too. So if they looked at these files enough to determine who warrants an interview, why didn't they just go ahead and approve the others?

I have no idea what's going on. It wouldn't surprise me if I were approved this Monday, or in August.

..and now i can't tell if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

vsc shows processing dates of march 1, 2007
tsc was april something 2007

all i remember is the last time i got an application transferred - back with the i130, from texas to california, it took me two weeks to get an approval.

hoping for the same kinda luck here. thanks.


I got transferred, too. Looks like we all have.

I think it SUCKS OUT LOUD!!! The actual approval times from VSC have been very steady -- about six months, regardless of what the official processing times show. That means we have to wait until August???

Unless of course they put us at the top of the pile. Hell, that's precisely what they should do, given that right now they are approving people who sent their I-751s to VSC in early August 2007. We were ahead of all of those suckers.



James - are your stats on VSC approvals based on VJ? The USCIS website shows they are working on March 2007...

I have a feeling that the USCIS has a defined threshold of back-log - for example 6 months, 9 months - something to that affect. It might even vary by processing center derived from their available resources. So for example - TSC should be 6 months backlogged, whereas VSC can be 4 months backlogged. If one service center exceeds their backlog for x number of months, while another hasn't reached their threshold, it spills over.

Thus, we see a series of transfers from TSC to VSC.

In my analysis this simply means that VSC has the capacity to take on enough load thus that they would be 2-3 months more backlogged than they are now....in the end meaning we will get approved faster their than in TSC.

..Or maybe I've giving the gov't too much credit for planning their operations. ;-)



You're not only giving them too much credit, you're also forgetting that VSC is technically operating at capacity.

I'm basing what I know on the master list in another thread. As long as that list is, there aren't a whole lot of VSC petitions. But there is a pretty clear pattern -- petitions filed in VSC all get approved in approximately six months. So there is no real back log at VSC because 6 months is what USCIS has set as its service goal. A backlog would be whatever extends beyond 6 months.

Contrast VSC with TSC, which has now apparently sent all of its I-751 petitions with NOA1s of March 1 and later to VSC. (A couple of our February TSC Losers just got RFEs, some have been approved, and a few others who haven't checked in since this mass transfer happened.) Since those are petitions that were filed up to 11 months ago, that would appear to be a 5 month backlog but is really only 4 b/c all the petitions received by TSC after July 1 were transfered to CSC and after December 1 or so to VSC.

So TSC really has no I-751s at all anymore, except maybe some odds and ends from February 2007.

VSC now has four months of old TSC petitions (and all new TSC petitions) in addition to the regular petitions it had been processing in 6 months. VSC would now seem to have a four month backlog with all of the stuff that's been dumped there now.

CSC has throughout all of this time managed to approve petitions in three months or frequently less, on the average, and is unlikely to cool off that pace now that the new TSC petitions are being dumped in VSC.

NSC is a basket case as bad as and probably worse than TSC, but I haven't heard about any mass transfers. Logic would dictate that they send their old cases to CSC. Logic, though, would have dictated they send all of our cases to CSC back in freakin July.

My theory is this: Nobody in USCIS has any idea ####### is going on!

my wife's case got transfered to VSC on Jan 31st as well....dont know if its a good thing or not....but I would still prefer having delayed at this point than when we applied our I130 since we got our loved ones with us......

Joel in the hizzy! You've been scarce yourself. I agree, ultimately the important thing is that we got our spouses here relatively quickly in the CR-1 process. My wife actually could care little about this since she's not working. But for those who need this for work purposes, I'm sure this is a royal pain . . . .


hey James....I agree...my wife isnt working either....too busy with our 2 daughters.....


Hey, I didn't know you had a second one! Congratulations! Yeah, two infants/toddlers will keep a mom busy. My wife probably won't work at least until both of ours are in school (Gaby just started pre-school this school year.)

The question I have is:
1. Are all the TSC cases that get transferred go to the back of the line?

I can't believe they would do that and make all of the TSC Losers® -- regardless of whether they filed in March or June -- all wait another six months. But who knows. When it comes to people making decisions that are either fair or unfair, I'm inclined to give the benefit of the doubt and assume the fair decision will be made, and therefore we'll be at the front of the line. After all, the normal I-751 petitions that currently have been pending the longest at VSC were only filed back in late July/early August, all well after ours. But then again we're talking about USCIS here . . . .

u guys are gonna hate my questions by the end of this - but james - what does service request in ur listing refer to? same as rfe?


A service request is when you have called the customer service number after you are outside of the posted processing times and asked them ####### is going on. You supposedly get a service request number or something like that (or maybe not) and they're supposed to get back to you in 45 days. Invariably, assuming they do get back to you, it's something along the lines of the highly informative "Your case is being processed. You will be notified when your case is completed."

I think we're ALL outside the processing times now if we've been transferred to VSC.
