Old TSC cases transferred to VSC

[tweety 1]

I'm wondering if gatorlink's last name begins with an "A" . . . maybe they're doing it in alphabetical order (hence all the touching and sorting they did after the cases were received at VSC).

My last name does start with "An" I really doubt that they sorted them alphabetically though. Just doesnt seem logical.....but we are talking about the USCIS.

Interesting... but I would think that's just coincidental.

I'm not so sure, and I certainly hope not. But, as gatorlink says, we are after all talking about CIS. And other than perhaps having shuffled all of our cases like a deck of cards, I can't think of another reason for VSC to first approve someone who is smack dab in the middle of the pack chronologically speaking.

Does anyone else here have a last name beginning with "A"? (Or "B" or "C" maybe, just so we can test out this little theory in the weeks ahead?)

We have a "B".

wonderful my starts with a P!!!! whatever..... that sound weird anyways.. you think they took the time to read every single application to put them in alphabetical order? NO, If they can not even work on time, they wont be able to do that....

Mine starts with Ba .... and no, still no news here

No news out of the USCIS with regards to case processing times at service centers. What is so hard? I mean, its March 27 and they have yet to post dates from March 15th. I think they are too embarrassed and afraid of more bad press after the NY times article. The dates anyway are a lie. But the more lies they tell us, the more accurate a picture we can get (piecing a pattern of lies to get some sort of truth)

Our petitions are logged into there data base/system with our SCR# no way they will be re-organizes by last name for processing. We were granted the conditional Green Card based on married to an US citizen or permanent resident (I-751), and the only two basis for petition is filing jointly or not. For the pile of “filed jointly” it is up to the adjuster just to verify the legality of our ongoing marriage. Our petitions are maybe organized after “easy going” cases or cases that need more marriage check, like going trough ALL attachment to our petitions. So if someone attacked 250 pages of documents to there petition that mean a week of reading for the adjuster and for applicants with some few hard statement pages are easier. This is fun!!!

Nothing new for us. Our name starts with F. I emailed cis and asked when they were going to update their site. No reply yet or ever I suppose.

[James 2]

I don't seriously believe that they are doing them in alphabetical order. Actually, I don't know what to believe, nor what to make of the approval from the middle of the pack. Then again, those of us on this list represent about 0.002% of the total TSC-VSC transferees. So I will buy any explanation, short of one involving aliens from outer space.

So I will buy any explanation, short of one involving aliens from outer space.

So the current USCIS explanation that the delays are due to an unexpected spike in residency applications by refugees from the recently-gone-nova (the light didnt get here yet) Beatlejuice system? Leading to total applications for FY2008 spiking to 3,738,542,895 applications... they were happy to announce however that in order to minimise delays they were transferring all of these additional applications to VSC.

In order to facilitate the fair processing of these applications, all applications are now going to be handled alphabetically, however, unfortunately, all letters in the alien names come BEFORE the letter 'A' in the human, english, alphabet... therefore at the current time per application of 45 minutes per case, it will unfortunately be a little over another 319,000 years before any human cases can be approved... but don't worry... arrangements have been made so that your 10 yrs greencard will be able to be glued onto whatever remains of your gravestone by the time it is ready... so your fees will not be wasted! plus, due to inflation people will not only be amazed at what a good deal you got on fees, but quite confused about what this "united states" is supposed to be that you just got permanent residency to...

[jamieswith 0]

Oh! and also, the USCIS wanted to comfort filers in Chicago and let them know that there is no need to worry, that the Office in chicago is quite willing (given sufficient valid reason and explanation) to give I-751 filers a new 2-month visa stamp, every 2 months, until the end of the 319,000 years, at which point you will be out of window and need to contact the ombudsman if you wish to get any kind of service at all.

LOL!! you just made me laugh a little bit!!! the part "arrangements have been made so that your 10 yrs green card will be able to be glued onto whatever remains of your gravestone by the time it is ready... " I can just picture this in my head!!!!1 a horror movie, which won all the Oscars.... what a pity!

And the bad news is, the March 15th processing times for VSC went through the reverse time machine and VSC is now processing cases from 2/1/07. Hmm, sounds like some of the stories posted about the NSC. My best guess and I am not as detail oriented as James, is anyone before 4/1/07 that was transferred will be approved by 5/15/08 with a cryptic sorry folks e-mail and a credit on your 2008 federal taxes for the I-751 filing fee. It seems the space aliens are hearing our muttered musings about USCIS and have taken matters into their own hands, oops, uh, limbs, no that's not right, are using their extremities to ray gun the USCIS with continuous work harder blasts, and finding the ray gun must be turned up to full power to get results. In the past they only beings that were susceptible to such focused blasts were predator and alien creatures. An unfortunate side effect has been the refund of fees to our income tax in future years, and the beams radiating on the metal plate in my head are indicating a debate by the space aliens as to whether to give us a bonus, i.e. unapplied for citizenship for our significant others. Ahh, the plate has stopped throbbing, now it is time for sleep, perhaps the aliens have reached a consensus on the citizenship. More later when my plate starts throbbing again.

They actually went backwards on processing dates?? What the hell is wrong with them!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kalstravels 0]

Okay, so the date now for the VSC is Feb. 2, 2007 on I-751 applications.

The most logical explanation is that they had to go backward on that date because of the TSC to VSC transfers. At least they are owning up to that fact. So A_C, the first of the transferees cannot complain becuase A_C (and the rest of us) are officially within the processing timeframe.

The flip side is that it does not seem that they are inclined to really speed up our processing; we are not an exception. We have been lumped within the standard processing timeframe. The upside is that they acknowledge us transferees and they are working on our applications and do consider them valid VSC cases hence the backtracking to Feb 1, 2007 from March 1 , 2007.

Good Luck to all!

Well, we all know that the processing times have never been connected with service center reality, regardless of what form is being processed. Bear in mind that VSC's date in January and February was March 2007, even though they had processed most of I-751s that were filed in July 2007.
