New processing times - is the USCIS lying?

[Peter T 0]

I wanted to update the table of applications to the NSC and wondered, if we should add the transfers to the California Service Center in the last column - what are your opinions?

I received my physical Greencard yesterday, so my journey with the USCIS is over for now - sigh, it's about time. I will visit this site occasionally to help others, but surely won't be so often here as in the last fourteen months.

If most of us have been transferred to CSC, probably we should just marked those who have not been transferred. I also got the transfer notice in mail today. When I first saw it, I thought it was an interview notice. Frankly I was quite OK with it and then I found out it was just a transfer notice. Any losers who filed in January 2007 still haven't gotten their approval? Pretty soon I am gonna try the trick of sending in more new materials to the CSC mailing address. My hubby and I have both tried to call them and filed two service request so far. No response yet.

Ok we just got a letter stating both that we were approved, and transferred to CSC. Card production was ordered on the 10th. If your file was transferred to CSC, you should expect to have it approved pretty soon. Be sure to check status online as well.

Were happy we got a letter, because before this we had gotten no emails or letters. Now we know USCIS has our correct address and is only somewhat likely to send it to the wrong house.

Well I did not get anyemails neither but i got the letter that said fil transferred to CSC this saturday, MY NOA is 06/2007, and when did you guys apply ? what center? did you receive both the transfer and the approval letter in the same time.

PLease you guys if you heard anything or were approved , please update so we can know

[Gulskjegg 0]

To answer seaflower, we have gotten one email from USCIS, and that was a LONG time ago. Our file date was March 2007. Nebraska was our center.

Now, we got a letter dated MARCH 27 2008 that in the upper right hand side says "approved removal of conditions". Then, below it is a small sticky tape thingy slapped on that says "notice type - transfer notice". Looks like it was printed up and put on top of whatever is supposed to be in that box. I guess they wanted to kill 2 birds with one stone. In the main area, it says "we moved your claim to California".

Next, on the USCIS webpage it says APRIL 10, 2008 your card was ordered to be produced. So, it seems that CSC took a mere 2 weeks to approve our claim and order the card. This is not a glowing recommendation on Nebraska or USCIS in general. But, all in all, were happy to have the card on the way.

I am very angry at the amount of time we lost waiting for all this, and God only knows how many things we could have done over the last few years, but I guess its water under the bridge.

Moral of the story is, check the USCIS webpage and automated phone line every day, or a few times a day like we did.

hi Gulskjegg' ,

My letter of the transfer say exact the same thing as yours, even the dates march 27,2008

approved on the upper right

sticker of transfer

and the main thing that it was transfered to california,

However when i check online it does not say approved, it just says this case is pending at the office which it was transferred what does that mean,

approved or not???? please let me know what do you think????

[Gulskjegg 0]

Well, first off, our online status has changed from "your card has been ordered as of April 10" to "we have approved you and sent a letter on April 15". It seems the online status only showed "card ordered" for less then a week, and was bumped by the current and last "event", that being the letter.

On our letter, in the upper right hand side in the "CASE TYPE" box it says "APPROVED REMOVAL OF CONDITIONS (I89)". Does yours say the same? I doubt they would throw the word "APPROVED" around if they didn't mean it. But then again, this is the USCIS were talking about.

I am a bit upset that I didn't get a screenshot of the "your card has been ordered" notice, but that was my fault. I had hoped that if we didnt get the card within the 30 days, we could show up at the local office with the screenshot of "card has been ordered" and they would whip up a new card on the spot.

I can only hope we do indeed get the 10 year card in the mail before the end of the month. We have all been kicked in the teeth so many times we have become a bit gun shy. Everything it worst case scenario and a war mentality. That's not healthy, as everyone walks around in a state of confusion and fear.

[sandy2000 0]

Yes in the upper right hand side in the case type it said APPROVED REMOVAL OF CONDITIONS (I89), but online it said pending at the office it was transferred to, I don't know what is going on now, and the last tpuch when i log in was04/03/08, and i check my case number on USCIS website evryday, i don't do the log in everydase , but i enter the case number,

Can you please help me what do you think? they did not mean the case tpe box in the letter??? or what is going on????

[Gulskjegg 0]

I think you have been approved, and will get a letter or update soon. I guess it takes time to coordinate the letters, emails, and webpage updates. But anything that says APPROVED is probably all you need at this point. You are most likely in the process of final approval. Since this flurry of activity started a few weeks ago, I would give it about a month for things to settle down. But, again, I think you have been approved, they are just getting their ducks in a row over at USCIS. I would not be surprised if you got a letter or email soon saying card ordered.

[sandy2000 0]

I hope so, It will be the best thing ever, I don't want any citizenship, I just want the Damn green card, Hopefully they will do it quick, so i can go on vacation with my husband to Japan for 3 mts

[mew5280 0]

I will update our status. We had our interview and verbal approval at the local office on 03/20/08

Absolutely nothing since. We were told we would have an approval letter in 5 days. No letter. Our status on the USCIS.gov is still showing what it has for one year and 4 months: received and pending. It's like we just dreamed about the interview.

Everytime we go to call, we press the number for "case has been approved" (though I'm not sure it was or not, he said he would recommend approval), we get a message "if it has been 30 days since your case has been approved"

So it's not any better. Next week will be 30 days. We have to take vacation time to make an appointment and go to the office. This is getting incredibly ridiculous.
