Any recent approvals out of the Texas Service Center

[hotairguy 0]

All these approvals in other threads and not even a sniff of one for us.... I'm with Tweety, if I go for naturalization, I want a refund!

Three chances of getting a refund.

1) Slim

2) Fat

3) None

I was actually being half-way serious. Usually if you pay for a service it constitutes part of a contract which includes your right to receive certain services or goods. If you don't receive what you paid for you can take legal steps, to either, get the goods/services or a refund.

I wonder if legally, them cashing our checks gives us the right for service, i.e. do we have a legal right to receive anything?! thus would it provide legal ground for a law suit?....

I don't know too much about US laws, but I wonder if we have any right to sue them for services not received.

#######, I just got a letter from the county court clerk, saying I have been named a juror...

don't you have to be a US citizen to be named a juror?!

well, nvm, I just called there, they told my I'm disqualified, as I'm not a US citizen, I just need to send them a letter.

Makes me wonder how they pick their candidates....

Whats up everyone! just got an email from my senators office (one of the caseworkers) thats says the following,

"

...This is the reply I received today from the Texas Service Center:

I am asking for this one to be pulled and worked.

Thank you for your inquiry and please do not hesitate to contact us again if you have further questions regarding this case."

I guess I will give it 30 more days and see what happens. Mean while i will apply for citizenship in 2 weeks... something has to give!

I just called my Senator today. Their office informed me that "another inquiry was sent just prior to Christmas," and that I should be hearing something "within a week of two." Mind you, that's not the processing of my case, but rather, the follow-up to their inquiry regarding where my case is and what is happening with the processing times.

Coming up to one year....

Sorry happened upon this post as the VJ is my AP news for the morning and spilled my coffee all over the table too funny - sorry - had to post - they pull jurors from Drivers License -

Good Luck on the rest of your journey but thank you for the laugh it gets some of us through the days or nights..

Grreaat.... the last ones on some Loser List!!! That makes me feel good. I can't tell online when the application was 'last touched' it just says it was received and pending.

Question: if my application was sent somewhere else, I would have gotten a letter or the case status tool would be updated i am guessing?

Also: The applications that got sent to another service center, are those getting approved?

I better pack a lunch....

Wow! This is my first post and I am glad I found this site. Comforting yet disturbing to see all your posts!

I guess it hasn't really been that that long for me. My NOA is dated 06/25/07. I am just a alittle anxious after hearing horror stories about USCIS's competency at times, even before reading any posts on this site!!!

What is really scary is it looks like there are people that have been waiting & received their NOA January of 2007, and then others who have gotten approved that filed after I did. You gotta wonder what happens behind the scenes at the TSC!

Also scary, dont know if you guys have seen the processing times on uscis website lately. In November 2007 they were processing cases dated April 7th 2007. A month later it got updated to April 8th 2008! What the heck!?! Anyone else catch that?

Anyway nice to meet y'all!!!!

Welcome! And, oh, boy, is Reinhard (Mr. Bigdog) gonna be happy to see you! Because you are now last on the TSC Loser® list after him! You must have just missed the cutoff for getting transferred to CSC. (If only you could go back in time and delay filing by just one week!)

Could you provide your other info, i.e., the date you sent your I-751, your biometrics appointment date, and the date that your file was "last touched" (that is, the "Last Updated" date that shows up when you log in to the USCIS site and look at your case)?

[tweety 1]

You can tell from the receipt number where it was sent to:

your receipt number starts with:

SRC - it's being processed at Texas service center

there is also WAC, EAC and something else

hope this helps.

Just to make you feel better, or worse, I'm taking a page from the NSC Losers' list and adding Silvanski, the first known transfer from TSC to CSC. He got an RFE and was STILL approved in just a little over three months!

The USCIS case status inquiry will tell you your case's "last date updated" date (i.e., last touch).

The USCIS case status inquiry will tell you your case's "last date updated" date (i.e., last touch).

Unless you case was transfered back to your local office. Then there is no way of knowing the status by looking online.

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.
