Old TSC cases transferred to VSC

I know I'm a just despicable newbie troll who said he was going to take the high road and walk away but I am in desperate need of attention. So I'm back. Please flame me so I can bask in your focus on me, increase my virtually nonexistent sense of self-worth, and feel that I'm better than all of you.

No dice.

You only roll snake eyes distorting my posts like that James. I never made any disparaging remarks towards you or anyone else. It seems it's you that needs the attention, not me, as I don't pound my chest and stomp my feet whenever I don't get my way and then sling mud. Get over your bitterness.

I still think this is a great site where the majority of participants are fabulous people eager to resolve their paperwork, none of whom are any better or worse than I, notwithstanding James' personal comments and attack on me above.

Good luck to all of you.

What do you keep coming back for, dude???

You obviously don't have a pending I-751 and you never filed in Texas or Vermont.

Just leave us alone and go harrass somebody else.

Who's slinging mud? You are a troll. And you said you were going to walk away. Now you're back.

Isn't there a speeding bus somewhere you should be stepping in front of?

I hope you are right, James. My feeling tells me that we won't see any approvals before May 15th.

[James 2]

Why do you say that, and why May 15th specifically?

[baunzerbrudi 0]

The Mon-Tue-Fri pattern seemed to hold during the three weeks of VSC approving cases. Nowe we haven't seen anything for a few weeks (except for newbies or people with recent biometrics updates). Either, VSC approves TSC filers during slow times or they have simply put us into queue with their own filers in which case there will be another 3 to 4 month wait. Just my five cents...

[James 2]

OK, I broke down and called. I escalated the call to a second level IO after listening to the scripted spiel of the first level person. The best he could do was say we should get a decision in 30-35 days. (Great! My wife is taking the kids to visit her parents in 29 days, and won't be back until 2 days after her extension expires.) When I asked why people with NOA1 dates after ours were approved more than a month ago, the best he could offer in response was to repeat the March 1, 2007 VSC processing date.

The bottom line for us is that we're going to have to get an I-551 stamp because my wife is leaving to visit her parents in a month, plus a special stamp from the consulate because names aren't changed on Colombian passports when a woman gets married (if needs be, they affix a stamp indicating there is also a married name), and the plane tickets are in her married/green card name.

I just have that feeling. They updated the processing times on the website on April 15th the last time. I think they will update the website again on May 15th and then they will send out some approvals.

That's just my weird logic because I am trying to come up with some kind of explanation for this craziness.

The explanation is simple. It's called gross mismanagement.

I wouldn't expect the processing time to move up more than a month, to April 1, 2007, at best.

I broke down and made my INFOPASS appointment for the 19th to get the stamp. I was hoping we wouldn't have to worry about it, James.

I got my stamp yesterday. It wasn't a big deal. I was in and out in 20 minutes.

[Cassie 8]

I am sure it is not a big deal to get the stamp, I just didn't want to have to go get the stamp. IE. Approve me already!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's an unnecessary, pointless hassle in any event, even if a minor one.

I can't even make the InfoPass now -- I get the message "At this time, there are no information appointments available for the office in your area. Please try back again later." I've heard elsewhere that one sometimes gets that message later in the day, and you have to try first thing in the morning.

Last year I made an infopass... cause I tried to get my passport stamped... (Which they refuse since they said it was enough with my NOA) I remember trying for a couple days... and one afternoon after trying all morning: I got it!!!.... So keep trying.. And James Good luck with the ####### at the Miami Office, cause for my infopass (September) I went to a different one (not the building on Biscayne BLVD) and the lady was the biggest ###### ever!! Sorry for the language... but SHE WAS!!!!!!!
