Old TSC cases transferred to VSC

[James 2]

As some of us will be nearing actual expirations of our NOA#1 within the next couple of weeks/months, has anyone been through the process of getting a renewal stamp in their passport, for the pruposes of travel? In addition, what if the green card takes forever to arrive (I have heard nightmare stories where it can take few weeks -> 6 months from the time card production is orderered, or they screw up something on the card)? I have these questions:

1. How do you go about making an INFOPASS appointment? Do you call, website?

2. After requesting an appointment, within how many days to they actually schedule the appointment? (are we talking days/weeks/months?)

Of course I have heard that you need to provide evidence at the appointment that you intend to travel (booked airline tickets).

I will have to do this for my wife in May, but I need to start making contingency plans - we are dealing with the USCIS.

Appreciate any tips/advice.

Thanks

You make your InfoPass appointment here: http://infopass.uscis.gov/.

The amount of time until your appointment would depend on your local office.

Someone mentioned somewhere that they are now requiring that you have made a service request through the customer service line and have a service request number before they'll give you an appointment, but I'm not sure about that . . . .

Just bumping this so it doesn't get buried.... looks like we are back in waiting mode and no-one has news.

Guten Tag fellow Okie! We are in the same boat, get the same message ever time I check case status, but I am getting tired of cutting and pasting our SRC# to the check your case status inquiry. Perhaps we will get our AOS before expiration date. I notice another post from a TSC AOS submitter who submitted late last year and was sent to the CSC.

Why don't you register for an account and indicate that you want email notification? That way you can just login and see when you were last touched (and receive notifications via email of approval or other major developments).

Anyway, I think it's kind of odd that some of us received these "petition received" emails and others haven't, as if they are still in limbo somewhere between TSC and VSC. I can only imagine that it must mean all of us are at VSC, only some of us have been placed in an "on deck circle" or something like that. Who knows . . . .

Thanks James seems I did that previously but forgot ID and password and did the same dance all over again. Last touch 2/4/08, so I suspect that was receipt from TSC. Curious about the folks who transfered from the black hole of mesquite and have touches on 2/14/08, suspect they are on the cusp of getting good news. Incidentally, your children are too cute for words, congratulations and stay warm, freezing here in OKC with freezing rain turning to sleet, consider that as you wander around in shorts and t-shirt!

My status hasn't been updated since Feb 04 - and after reading that a lot of you have received sth on 14th I started to freak out. 'Glad' to hear though there are some others that have not heard anything since the "Transferred" notice

Btw, I feel special to be leading the list of the TCS aka VSC loosers now

I FEEL FOOLISH HAVING PLACED SOME ACTUAL FAITH IN THE USCIS AFTER WE RECEIVED OUR TRANSFER NOTICE. For some reason, I truly believed we all would be approved or at least updated within weeks. Here we are three weks later without a single approval or even RFE or further touches. Could we really be back in line at VSC for another 6 months?

We have not been touched either since the initial 2/4/08 transfer notice. Nothing that the USCIS does surprises me. It seems to be a chaotic organization without any leadership. There are bright spots however. The San Antonio office is a model of efficiency and handles AOS and naturalization petitions within about 6 months of filing.

I see that everyone lost its faith.... including me… I believed that Vermont was going to be faster... but everyone else is so negative about it. Need same updates, why everyone believes that this is not happening?

filed for I751 on June 2007

last touch February 04 2008

All hail A_C, King of the TSC-VSC Losers®!

But since you haven't been touched since 2/4, I have no idea what the significance is of you and others not getting the 2/14 notice that the petition was received by VSC. Obviously not a chronological thing.

Maybe there were two pickup trucks from TSC, and the one carrying your petition broke down somewhere in Kentucky.

Could be that he just checked the online status for today for the first time in over a week. No email was sent for the 2/14 touch, which says of one's current status that the "case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred."

I still don't have that message on my case status.

I did receive an email on 2/14. It could be that some people's status is just now being updated from "transferred to VSC" to "pending at service center to which it was sent" whereas other's (yours truly) have been updated last week. If this is the case, instead of approving the transferrees one by one, they may just want to approve everyone at the same time (which kind of sucks because being a March filer I don't want to be approved with an April filer on the same day - I want at least a one day lead :-).
