Old TSC cases transferred to VSC

[James 2]

...hmmm... I wonder if they will process the applications first whose extension letter is on about to expire. Mine is still good till May... Junglee's expires in March... so they will have to get active now to make the mark..... and big surprise... his case just got touched.

Anyone know whose extension will expire first? Is Junglee the first of the few of us?

I don't know if they would necessarily sort the petitions by the date the one year extension is to expire. That would require a bit more effort than sorting them by NOA1 date (i.e., they would have to check the green card expiration date). But who knows . . . .

maybe they are trying to get everyone done before the extension is valid for - i think someone just already said that...ok back to work.

Congratulations to those that have received your 10-year green cards - I don't think you will read this post but if you are a wiki junkie, congratulations nevertheless!

Good luck to all those in the "new" queue ie: Texas to Vermont, my wife included.

And it looks like my predictions are beginning to come true:

1. I predicted that ihateemo was mistaken about the "approved" thing. Looks like I was right, ihateemo admits the lady on the phone was mistaken - she was just reading how the USCIS classifies pending cases, which are the same for all of us- Sorry ihateemo, but just remain hopeful- also I note that you are a male -sorry

2. I made predictions about our applications just getting into Vermont this week. Looks like from junglee's post this *is* the case, as they have announced processing of his case at the USCIS office. The e-mail we got on Jan. 31 was just that they were moving the cases to Vermont, submitted by the Texas office. Remember US Post office Bulk mail moves at snail's pace. Hopefully they didn't lose any - there were no "air accidents" over the last week, and no reports of overturned US Postal Service trucks. But Congratulations none the less on this update!

My next prediction:

Look for a Feb 22 posting documenting wait times as of Feb 15, 2008 for Vermont. Note that the wait time for I-751 will read March 15, 2007, up 15 days from the current posting eve though 1 month would have elapsed. I hope I am wrong, but I am 2 for 2 so far

Are you a USCIS insider just pretending to be one of "us"?

I just recieved an email that my case got touched with this message:

The CRI89 PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED was transferred and is now pending standard processing at a USCIS office.

If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address. We process cases in the order we receive them.

If I was, I wouldn't be on this message board - my wife's case would have long been approved. I have just gotten so used to the "due process" that the US constitution affords us. Its a process, but far, far too long. When we filed back in March 2007 I was an "optimist" and believed everything would be over in 6 months or less. With my predictions I have made in the last few days I have become a "realist". If this bullshit goes on beyond 1 year, I will become a "pessimist" like James and the rest...

I am not an expert but rather one of you guys in line but as i understood from these two messages, i think this is notification o confirm that VSC physically received all the paper work for your application, and now its all their property. But who knows what they are doing??

I also got same email notification, last Updated 02/13/2008. They changed message instead of saying: transferred to VSC " to Case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred."

I just got the same email a couple of minutes ago. Looks like it's just telling us we've all landed safely in Saint Albans. Just 20 or so miles south of the Canadian border, and just east of Lake Champlain. Those puppies have some miles on 'em . . . .

I hope so too. The part that gets me is that it is "pending standard processing". I really would have wished they said something like "pending expedited processing". I mean, for heavens sake, our applications "sat" at the TSC for 8-12 months, and they are now placing us at the VSC and all they can say is "standard processing???"

Just got the same e-mail about arrival at VSC literally 1 minute ago. We made it in this weather!! Gotta love the USPS motto "No rain no sleet no snow....etc"

Maybe the adjudicating officer will be a little partial...my wife is Canadian. Canadians have a good rap in Vermont....most Vermont residents can identify Canada on a world map....

Just got the email, too. I'm glad we didn't get lost in transfer.

no new message for me... lost or last in line again...

Question to all those that hev received the e-mail on Feb. 13 2008 (or will shortly, don't lose hope):

Did you notice that the wording said "was transferred and is now pending standard processing at a USCIS office."?

Note they did not say "center". Do they mean a USCIS field office? If so, then this is something new.

Also, if you were to simply check to see where your application was, without ever receiving a letter in the mail, you would not know where the application was... Yup, try and look for any evdience online that our transferred TSC applications are in Vermont. There is no evidence of that now - normally there would be a message like "This case is at our Vermont Service Center". It says nothing like that, if you were touched on Feb. 13, 2008. All it says is a "USCIS office". Why the hell didn't they say "USCIS Center"? There are 4 centers nationwide, but a bunch of offices.

Maybe I am overreacting, but this is the USCIS.

I'll just take their last geographic mention - which was they were transferring to Vermont....but I am not cool about it.

I have not gotten this latest email yet. It looks like all of the people with March 2007 NOA dates have gotten that email, so I am assuming they are sending them out in order of NOA date.

Has anyone with an April 2007 or later NOA date gotten this latest email yet? I hope ours didn't get lost in the transfer.....................
