February filers at CSC

[aravis227 1]

Just for people's reference...this is a method of tracking your petition from the NVC to your embassy...it was posted by rouguewave and a lot of people have used it and found it works. However you have to know what day the NVC sent our petition out:

Please read with the understanding that there are No guarentees here, but just to give you all some information.

It appears that NVC uses DHL as their shipper for embassy packages bound for beneficiary's country embassy's. I know this is nothing new, but on the DHL website (www.dhl.com), you can search for packages based on reference and package number. The first thing you have to do is determine the package number that MIGHT contain your beneficiary's paperwork. As of this posting, this might help or this might drive you crazy. If NVC or DHL changes how they do things, this could all fall apart, but here goes....

Being good beaurcrats, NVC seems to usually code the reference with some form of the following: 'EXP 26 NOV 2007A' where the date is somewhere near (on or before by a day or two) the actual date of shipment. If you KNOW the date they shipped to the embassy (NVC told me and others) then you can adjust the date accordingly and search on reference. You'll see a list of shipments to each of the embassys they shipped to with that reference. For example, if you access the website and enter 'EXP 26 NOV 2007A' into the search by reference area, you'll see 3 pages of shipments. Make sure that the date range includes Nov 26 & 27, but it can be much wider.

You can then look down the list and click on the specific package going to the right embassy. It will contain all the current tracking information, as well as allow you to sign up for updates. Of course, there is no guarentee that you've got the exact package, because it doesn't list the contents. But you can be lulled into a hopeful state that it does, and at least know when THAT package gets to the embassy.

The only anomoly I found was there were packages shipped with 'EXPEDITE IV SECTION' as a reference. You can see an example by looking up shipment #8177298920. I found this one by doing a search by number and feeding in blocks of 25 shipment numbers, starting with the highest from the most recent day of shipment, based on the reference sequence. It appears that the shipment numbers are in order, but NOT sequential. This is probably due to the fact that they use pre-printed forms for shipping, with the numbers printed on them. However, there are gaps in the sequence so don't expect to get 25 returns for 25 numbers requested. There was a place where the number sequence made a HUGE change, but I attribute that to them running out of forms on one pre-printed pack of labels and some shipping guy just started with another set.

Has anyone tried this lately, or maybe you might have more up to date info for the shippers ref? Thanks for all the help... I am sure more than just myself would be using it.

Re-read the bolded parts...the reference code that is given in the original post is just an example. You have to replace the dates with the one you think will be accurate. If you know which day they shipped your package try that day, the day before, and the day before that. For example, they received mine on 7/16 and I suspect they shipped it out the next day. I know that by going in, putting in the code EXP 16 JUL 2008A (for 16 July 2008) and there is a package going to Vancouver on the 17th. I don't know for sure if that's my package because they didn't tell me when it was shipped out...but I like to think it was.

Called Craig (it's 1.40am in Cleveland) and left him a message on his phone

For those who are still waiting like me... how you deal with that?

I try to make me busy as possible, but I can't get it out of my mind....

right now i'm in the ... "angry" mood... but...

You know, it kills me... so bad.

Most of the CSC filers get approved in an average of 130 days (I don't gonna to talk about VSC or i will become insane)... why we have for some of us to wait more than 150 or 160 days?

The way the service centers are working is just so unfair.

I mean, when i go in vacation, i don't let open case.. or if i can't finish some stuffs I give it to my co-workers.

I don't understand that some petition have to wait because adjudicators are in vacations or sicks ... or lazy... I don't know.

I don't understand why march filers got approved before some February filers... uscis says that they works on petitions in order... its not true and it makes us feel just so bad.

i just want my approval, please csc get a heart!!!!

I deal with it by trying to use a little humour, like creating the now legendary "last touched on the 22nd February" club of which you and I are founder members, Miss Yoko

I just checked the official USCIS site for the CSC center and they say they are only working on January 17th applications! We all know that is not correct, but that also indicates that any that were filed before January 17th should already be completed or in processing now. I did a quick scan of Igor's list and I did not see anyone that had filed before that were still waiting, so maybe at least THAT part is correct.

Not to be a downer...but I think only checked the "within processing times" area. If you scroll down there is a section for "Still waiting for NOA2 from CSC K-1 I-129F up to 3 months beyond the CSC processing time (2008-01-17):" and there are quite a few people still in there. I know there are still some people who are actually waiting from last year, too. Regarding CSC's processing times, they will never give any processing time of less than six months. It's CAP (Corporate A$$ Covering).

You are correct! I did not scroll all the way down. I wonder how many of those listed in that section have called to find out what is going on. I had not thought about it before, but I am sure you are correct about CAP, too!
