I recieved a NOA1 back on 11/08/07 and im seeing all these people get their NOA2's that submitted way later on and im starting to worry. Only one touch since they recieved it and that was back on 11/29/07. Should I start to worry ? Actually too late..i already started.

Also when is the next time they update the CSC processing time / status's?

Yeah I wouldn't worry too much. There are still some October filers waiting for their NOA2's. Yours may even be in the mail. CSC has been having issues with their computer systems so the information they show online may not be up to date.

I agree with Sara, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to call, if only to get yourself on the radar screen. They're pretty much done with October now, and are mostly through November and December. Looking at the last time the October remnants logged on, I think a good number of them have them have moved on and away from VJ. I would also imagine that another update in processing times is very close - although we all know that's just a CYA date used by the processing center.

Thanks Sara. I have called but just listened to their automated systems and didnt talk to any reps. I will try to give them a ring tommorow and i guess ask the status so maybe I they can actually pick my file up and know it exists. Thanks everyone for your responses and thank this forum and members for existing. I wouldnt of known where to start, let alone keep my ground without.

We are in the same boat. I am one of the "October remnants" that is still waiting. Our NOA1 date is October 19 - so today is day 215. I have spoken to the CSC four times since February and was lied to each time. Finally, my Congressman called on May 13th and was told that our petition went to an officer on May 6th. So, we will see.

So, it is easy to say don't worry, but I feel for you.

Good luck to you.

Johnichka, that really sucks - have you called the center again since it "went to an officer" nearly two weeks ago? From what I've read, sometimes the people answering the phone just flat out lie about the status of your file.

No, I have not called back yet as I am waiting for the updated processing dates to be listed. Then I figure I can tell them that the latest update posted on their site states that the last cases they are processing are from November xx. I want to wait for the updated processing dates so they can't just blow me off and say that our case is within "normal" processing times.

But the folks who answered the phone when I did call previously were pretty convincing liars. I was told in February that it went to an officer on February 22, I was told on March 24th that it was with an officer. I was told on April 24th that it just went to an officer and that the other people who had told me it was previously with an officer were lying to me. I called on May 2nd, the gentleman at USCSI told me it was with an officer. So, who knows what the heck is really going on....

My congressman calls and USCIS tells the congressman that it went to an officer on the 6th…. Someone is lying somewhere………

Wow ... thats not what I wanted to hear but Sorry to hear taht Johnichka. So when you call and your in the normal processing times as I am in now and even with all the website / automated status messages when you finally do get someone on the phone, what is it that you can possibly ask that can make them atleast pick up my file? Did you get touches on the 4 times you called? Just curious.

[johnichka 0]

I received touches on three of the four calls. The one call in March did not generate a touch which would tell me the officer that answered the phone just blew me off. The call on May 2nd generated a touch and then I noticed that the file was touched again on May 4th (a Sunday). So, I am figuring that indeed someone at the CSC was going through files on the 4th and must have prepared a stack to be given to an officer. I assume that my file was given to the officer on May 6th and it would make sense since it was touched on the 4th. Only a thought on my part, but makes sense.

When I called, I asked them if I possibly I had an RFE since my case was so dated. They would check the system and tell me no, that in fact there is no RFE. Then I would ask "Since I have you on the phone, can you tell me where in the division my file is?" They would put me on hold and come back and say it was with an officer and approval should be forthcoming soon.

Once the updated processing times are posted, I have a little more ammunition to go back and forth with them on the phone.

I assume that the processing dates should be updated today or tomorrow. I have watched over the past 6 months and typically they post an update about 6 to 7 days after the 15th of the month - (but still date the update as of the 15th???)

Good luck to you.

Wow your right BlakeandOlha! Funny how they didnt update the "date posted" date though.

I just called out there. It is really a joke. The only thing the individual could/would tell me was that the petition was with an officer. I then asked "can you tell me when the petition went to an officer?" She then says, "let me look" I hear her pounding on what appears to be a keyboard and then she says "It went to an officer on March 11th."

I then say, "well my Congressman called last week and someone there told him that it was given to an officer on May 6th"

She then says, well if you have a Congressional inquiry, you should not be calling any further, the congressman should be calling. That was all the information she could/would give me.

So, these folks are really screwed up. I keep hearing different dates from different individuals. Frustrating indeed.

I think your best hope is to have the Congressman keep pressure on the USCIS. Did they give your Congressman an estimate of when to expect an adjudication? If not, ask your Congressman to call the USCIS again for a firm date.

I just got off the phone with them . He basically told me 30 days past the (6 month?) processing time frame then they consider it outside normal processing times before they can put any kind of request on it. Am I still within normal process time frame? Is it 6 months? I thought the date they posted today November 17th is the date of completed applications. He told me thats up to the date that they are "working on".. Im confused.. he said they still have 18-19 more days before my application is considered out of processing time. Can anyone straighten me out on processing times?

Thanks and good luck to all.
