Taking my own advice -- here is the new Loser list for those of us who filed in TSC between February and June 2007 and were just transferred to VSC on Jan. 31 after enduring all of that time at TSC. (If you are someone who just filed at TSC and were instantly transferred to VSC, this isn't the place for you.)

The TSC-VSC Losers in the hizzy!

Looks good to me..anyone want to bet if we get touched again soon? I think there will either be a lot of action within 2 weeks since we are in front of everyone else..otherwise we are treated as newbies and wait another 7 month period!!!

You have to believe all of the transferred cases are at the top of the pile. The newest of those cases is still older than than the oldest petition that was filed directly at VSC.

Within that pile, though, you and I are probably 2 and 3 months down, respectively, because the oldest transferred petition is from mid-late February. Which means, barring some miracle, we'll probably get approved at around the one-year mark of our NOA1s.

Speaking about the one year mark. I spoke to USCIS customer service lady last week (before the transfer). She was one ticked off individual. If you've seen that movie, Anger Management, she was the flight attendant who was saying "come down, sir, it's a difficult time for our country" while I was Adam Sandler. I seriously did not raise a voice and was very polite, but she was definitely borderline between "I just told you that, sir" and "I am going to hangup now, sir."

Anyhow, I asked her why I haven't been approved yet. She said that it is taking now exactly a year to be approved. I don't think she knows what she is talking about though. I asked her if she has any grounds for saying that - and she replied: "well, your wife's letter has been issued for one year, sir."

Well, at least you could hang up on her..imagine her being your officer at a point of entry or interview!

with all TSC cases at Vermont I don't know if they push everything back 3 months or if 3 months worth of old TSC petitions might not all get done in a shorter time. If it took 3 months for me to get approved, all VSC filers now would have an additional 3 month waiting time!

That has been my experience EVERY time I call the service center. Their tone of voice is extremely condescending... It is the most annoying thing! It's as though they're saying "you stupid foreigner"... when they are the idiots working in a useless call center :devil:

I note aussielad is getting burned up about that possibility in another thread. He's only been waiting five months . . . so he has to wait eight months total, it's still less than any of us.

I agree completely. It has been close to 9 months for me and I am one of the youngest TSC leftovers... it is about time for us..if everyone was done in 6 to 10 months total that would be fine. Over 12 months means trouble wiht expiring extension letter etc... hope to see movement in the next weeks!
