Does anyone have a number or way to get through the goddamn menu system to speak to a human in VSC about my application. I need them to check proof it was mailed, and I'm tired of running through hundreds of options. Can I just go 2-1 on the menu, which takes me to change of address and beg them to help me?

I don't believe it is possible to contact any of the service centers directly. You must use the 800 information line.

K-1 Timeline in Profile (our story)

Church wedding Sept 18

NOA1's for AOS/EAD received Sept 20 MSC #

Biometrics completed Nov 5 2004

EAD Approval Dec 29 2004

AOS appointment letter received Feb 3 2005

AOS interview scheduled for March 9 2005

AOS interview mostly fine, just need I-693 supplement filled out by civil surgeon

Spend another $40 for I-693 form, sent to local USCIS office registered mail, arrived March 11 2005

AOS finally approved March 25th 2005

Green card arrives about 10 days later

!!Green card has incorrect middle name!! Thanks USCIS

Travel back to Denver, turn in card and I-90 to correct their mistake.

Application accepted, asked for I-551 stamp, they told me "We don't do stamps anymore"

NOA1 for I-90 received from NSC April 18 2005, fee waived

NSC appears to have stoped processing I-90's

Marilyn needs to travel back to the RP, call Senators office for help with green card or I-551 stamp

Travel back to Denver July 1, 2005 and received I-551 stamp in the passport.

Well, turns out picking 'change of address' finally gets you to a human. We ran through a million questions and his reply was basically 'wait a few more weeks'. I would have assumed they ship these with tracking from VSC->NVC, but he claims otherwise. Sucks.

You cannot contact the service center directly - it's not possible. You would be contacting USCIS's 800 number.

What is it that you need them to check? If you have already been approved and you want to know if your file is at the NVC, send them an email, and give it 2-6 weeks to get there and processed.

You can't call the service centers, you call the famous misinformation line only, which is like a call service for USCIS in general.

I had to call this morning...in a nutshell you have to click on the option that states it's been more than 60 days since application has been submitted...and it will que you in to speak to a live rep...and then once the rep comes on the line then explain what you are really calling for...I had to do that...

Take care and many blessings...
