You're welcome!

So . . . anybody approved this morning?

Tweety, you're only third on the list! You could be on some VSC adjudicator's desk RIGHT NOW!

OMG! I'm so excited! Just think about it... someone might actually read through all these pages of paperwork we submitted.... who knows...But may-be it's just the historical restaurateur working to make them old pages legible again lol

Could be, I bet the toilets in the TSC basement men's room backed up a few times and flooded the janitorial closet where they were storing our cases.

i recieved the email stating that my case has been moved to VSC, but i have not gotten the letter saying why and it says in the email that im to follow the instructions provided on the notice. Anyone have any idea what the instructions are?

I haven't gotten the actual letter yet either. But it probably only says something earthshaking like let us know if you move, that kind of thing.

It is Wednesday and we still don't have any approval notices? I was hoping the transfers would spark fireworks of action..back in the waiting game I guess....

will filing the N-400 will push the adjudiaction of the I-751 then when its time???

Then there's our case, which was just shunted to the back of the line with the lovely RFE we received...

It can -- , from what I understand, an N-400 interview with a still-pending I-751 will usually force adjudication of the I-751 right then and there by the interviewing officer -- but unless the time for VSC approvals stretches out to a year from the current 6 to possibly 9 months, your I-751 will be approved well before you are eligible to apply for naturalization.

I just checked -- I haven't even been touched for TWO WHOLE DAYS.

I'm calling my Senator's office . . . .

Look at it this way: there can only be a few I-751s left at TSC, all from RFEs from February. I'd bet you'll be approved before any of us if you've responded to the RFE promptly.

yeah, but James, im eligable in August to send off for naturalization. I sent off the I-751 like in september of 2007, so if its a 6 month mark, that means next month i should be approved, if not, then, i guess maybe....maybe at the rate VSC is going, by the time i send off the N-400, and get called for an interview THEN it might be approved at the rate the VSC is working.

And we pay $545 in the price increase for a slower service??? what i believe is that its just bad management at the top when they switched people to Emilio Gonzalez.

i bet the former director would've had it under control.

Even if VSC approvals do back up because of all of the new transfers, it'd probably only be another three months, so you'd still get approved by June. Plus, who knows, maybe with the fee increase, whatever new workers they hired have finally gone "online" at VSC and there won't be any additional backlog. Unlikely, but who knows.

But you're right -- the fee increase was a clown move by USCIS. They raised the fees so they could clear whatever backlogs they had, and ended up creating bigger backlogs because of the rush of people who filed before the fee increases. (Ironically, all of those people who rushed to beat the fee increase and filed at TSC and NSC were long ago approved by CSC.)

I thought we would have gotten the notice about the transfer in the mail by now (by yesterday's mail, actually -- five days from them sending the notice out the day after the date on the notice). It probably doesn't say anything different than the online case status message, but I'm curious. Anyone get theirs yet?
