How to Shake Your NOA2 Loose from the CSC

[mox 298]

On the basis of the above, I maintain that my suggested approach IS effective, or, if not proven robustly enough yet, at least worth a try.

I definitely agree it's worth a try. I hope some people outside the normal processing times will try and report back in. Nothing is more convincing than hard data. Sitting at just a few weeks shy of 180 days, few more than me are rooting for it to work.

The 'profanity' is brit slang. Blame it on my husband rubbing off on me.

I'm not looking for my name to be praised till Sunday. That's not why I hang around here. I work in a law office and my fascination with immigration stems off of that. Plus I love seeing couples reunite. It gives me happy-bumps.

People who are interested in my posts can research them through my post history. Just like they do any other contributing member. You don't have to be 'pinned' around here to be useful. You can check with Captain on that one if you like.

You yourself said your file was in extra checks. Doesn't that explain to you why others who filed around you managed to get ahead of you? This is why I contend your file was moving 'normally' - if there is such a thing.

I'm not suggesting your idea has absolutely no merit. But likewise I do not think you have uncovered the Holy Grail. From what you have posted, I believe your method might be helpful in moving a case off a desk if it has already been completed/adjudicated but just hasn't moved on yet.

Insofar as what Tracy has posted, I do think this 'method' would help alleviate any worry that a case file has been lost or mislaid. Oftentimes I believe this fear is the most debilitating one for petitioners whose files aren't reaching conclusion.

Where did she use profanity??? And as far as telling you where her 'crucial' posts reside - there's this lovely thing called the search feature. Has always worked great for me.

[edited] She just explained it, acceptably. It would be nice if she would point the direction toward the posts that she considers most applicable to those in the waiting-for-NOA2 phase.

I didn't realize she had alluded to specific posts of hers. Did I miss that?

Nope, but if she remembers something of particular value...

I can't think of a specific one.

I can give you one here though.

(Up-piping) You could have mentioned some of these things in the initial message; thank you for your contributions, which we can all benefit from if you tell us where your crucial posts reside on the VJ site. Also, the inevitable partial-or-more "don't type to me in that tone of voice" misinterpretation of e-mail correspondence (not being completely certain of someone's motives, sincerity, vocal inflections, body language, etc.) affected my interpretation of your post, and for that I apologize. Finally, if your AOS process was unduly long, my sympathies. However, for the sake of credibility, please refrain from using profanity on these boards.

Perhaps the word "piss" qualifies as profane these days...dunno but that's about the only word that could be [loosley]termed 'profanity'.

Right - I gather that now from the subsequent replies.

Dunno how you can take exception w/ someone using the word piss...but there you go.

Vulgarity versus profanity. Dangerous to use any vulgarity-or-more when arguing with someone here; it's quite another matter (meaning quite appropriate) to use it when referring to USCIS, though!

As I said, I wasn't even vulgar.

The unfortunate mistake is thinking this was an 'argument' on my part. It was not.

You surely have the prettiest of smiles, Sara!

Well, I might be an 'old timer' but - I do have a pending receipt notice (you see, even once the VisaJourney is over, the ImmigrationJourney is not).

At any rate, I decided to give this a whirl by following the prompts in TBone's original post.

I haven't reached the conclusion of my experiment yet (and won't be able to until tomorrow) but I have already learned that attempting this in the hopes of reaching an Immigration Officer will not work unless you try during normal business hours. My call was directed to the Information Line.
