Old TSC cases transferred to VSC

[James 2]

I got nothing so far. Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of our NOA1. A week ago yesterday was the two-month anniversary of our receipt date at VSC. (Actually, going by the VSC status list, I'm the only one left from the group of folks who got a VSC received-and-pending notice on 2/13 -- everyone else is from 2/22.)

The Monday is not over yet; I’m just waiting for the first coffee break at VSC to be over, so they start kicking out some emails.

We need to be more understanding.

VSC worked too hard and now they are all exhausted. They will take a little break, get second breath and get back to approving the rest of us. I agree the day is not over yet.

Please add me to the list: NOA 4/19/07; Biometrics haven't been done yet (yes, I'm working on it); and last touch: 2/14/08. What gives with that last touch date? Everybody else was touched on 2/25/08. Do you think they just lost my application?

The reason that Biometrics haven't been done yet is that they never sent me an ASC appointment. Taking advice from this forum, I managed to get an immigration officer on the phone, and I just got an ASC appointment letter.

Ara4,

Did you get your Biometrics yet? Did you get a letter saying that you were transferred to VSC?

looks like they slowed down last week (only one on friday, few at the beginning of the week). I just hope they do not completely stop again

Must be doing the "U"s today (and maybe the "V"s).

Hi Smartie,

Thanks for asking.

So I received an ASC appointment letter after specifically requesting one; and I completed the biometrics on April 15th. Now here's the interesting part--I called USCIS to verify that they have the biometrics and that my case will be processed. The immigration officer said that it takes over sixty days to transfer the biometrics from the ASC to the VSC, and then several more months to make a decision!! Wow. She also said that cases are processed by the date that the service center (not the ASC) receives the biometrics, and not by the NOA date.

What do you guys think? Should we even care as long as we just get our I-551 extension every year? I've gotten stressed out over this too, but I'm starting to think that this doesn't matter--maybe this is just my defense mechanism. As long as we maintain legal status, does it matter whether or not they make a decision?

P.S. I was last touched on 4/16/08.

I travel a lot overseas and it’s a hassle that immigration each and every time have to verify my I-551 stamp, so I have lost my connection flight a couple of time. I'm just looking forward to show my passport and valid GC to the immigration and travel like everyone else.

Look for tomorrow or Friday and wait until after 2:00 p.m. central time (I think). I suspect they are working the original VSC filers and may do sporadic transfers this week on days we are not accustomed to. Incidentally, my wife got her card in the mail today from St. Albans Vt. Didn't check the postmark but I believe they send it out the same day they flag your application with card production ordered. I think our snail mail notice will get here days after the card does. Keep the faith, the wait is just hours from being over (6 days from card order to delivery).

Hi everyone,

I got my approval last week 4/14 and just wanted to update you on what's happened since:

Got another email on 4/15 saying Card Production Ordered.

On 4/17 got an email saying Approval Notice Sent.

Today I received my 10 yr GC (expires 4/14/18) and all looks correct (was mailed on 4/17 to FL).

So it appears based on everyone else's experience (well, those of us who've been approved so far), this is the norm.

As for no approvals today, I'm guessing there's a lot more of us who aren't on the list, but I'm sure they'll come.

Good luck to all!! I'll keep checking back!

and about the RFE that they sent to you that step you sent it?

I'm bummed that James hasn't gotten approved yet although it's nice to see everyone else get take care of. There may be something to the alphabetical order idea. My wife's last name starts with O.

Thanks, bro -- it'll come. I probably just have the same guy who adjudicated Tweety's petition:
