Attention Texas Filers!

[jasminelily 1]

If you live in Texas, me and another guy here from VJ are planning to write a group letter to Texas Senator this coming summer. The more people join in, the more power and attention our letter would get. Doesn't matter when did you file, as long as there is unequal processing timeline between CSC and VSC, you have the right to complain. We need to get someone to listen to us, then we have to be together in order to open up a commnunication channel. So please, join us. If you don't want to reply in public, feel free to send me a private message. Thank you!

CSC can make the target goal of 6 months but VSC cannot, actually VSC can never. Why the unfair treatment? Who divided the states into processing by CSC and VSC? Is VSC getting lots more cases than VSC and thus caused the delay? Or is it because VSC has less personnels than CSC so even the cases are evenly distributed, VSC is still falling behind? There is no transparency. We need to find out the reasons why VSC is always slower than CSC, then we can fix the inequality problem. They said their customer service is first come first serve, but they can never do what they promised. I have seen people who filed at the same time as me got approved already at CSC, but why am I still waiting? Because I'm at VSC. Heck, even people who filed after me at CSC already got approved, we paid the same amount of application fee, why do they apply after me/us got approve before me/us? Lots of questions need answers. I'm tired of hearing VSC's excuse of I-751 being the low priority cases, so why does CSC treat it as such a high priority and make decisions so fast? USCIS is one government entity, why VSC thinks I-751 is low priority and CSC thinks I-751 is high priority? Anyone else can add in your opinions but my goal of this post is to get people to join us to write a group letter so our voices can be heard and our questions can get answers. I do not want to turn this post into an argument between CSC filers and VSC filers. Thank you!

If i were in Texas i wouldnt mind complaining with you.Only after a long unmerciful wait of watching everyone else approved till it drives you crazy will you get approved.All your points are 100% valid .The inconsistency in the processing of I751 petitions is rediculous an i dont know if it will ever be fixed.

Oh so in other words, you want transparency of the process in VSC? That is fine, what annoys me is your comparison to CSC when in fact, there are many factors affecting their processing time more than you and I will even know. My question is what is the basis for your comparison, mere timelines? not unless you know the actual number of applications going to each service center, the number of employees working on the case, the burden of proof and time it takes for each adjudicating officer to review and approve a case, the service center's history of backlogs, the history of what caused the backlogs, special cases that need further review, the division of labor, the internal affairs that USCIS will not divulge to public due to national security, everything else is beyond your control. VSC has transferred 80,000 cases to CSC, to ease its load. What else do you want CSC to do? Equality of processing times? Is that what you call fair? So those who applied at CSC should have a longer timeline, to be fair to VSC? Is it fair to call on equality when applicants under CSC's jurisdiction also wait and expect a timely approval? Regardless of how long or short the timeline is, their lives are put on hold too, they are waiting too like you. You have the right to seek answers based on your case, but to wish CSC to have the same processing time as VSC, at this point (when you have a pending case at VSC), is completely selfish in my opinion.

Perhaps you can start a thread for your state, it would help too. If you want to wait till we sent the letter, I don't mind you can borrow our letter, you can just change it into your info. You got me thinking, may be I should send this letter to the Acting Deputy Director Mr. Michael Aytes instead of sending it to our state senator. What do you guys think? Perhaps if I do that, there would be more people to join in?

poochie

What is your problem. Tell me. No one asked you to jump in unless you applied at texas. I know you removed all your info so that people don't know where you applied etc. Infact you did apply at CSC and now you fear that if people complain or write letter about VSC's inefficiency they will transfer more cases to CSC and your case might get delayed. I think your reply and argument was selfish.

Vermont and Nebraska service center have always been dead slow. The whole point of jasminelily post was to make other folks who filed at VSC to write to their senators/congressman to make the director at VSC have their center work more efficiently. If CSC can do a good job so can anyother service center.

That was the whole point of this thread. But poochie you took it person and turned it to an agrument. Most of the folks here on VJ are fine and don't get into arguments with other. So please try not to do that. I didn't want to reply to your comments but after reading your comments i wanted to reply, to let you know poochie, even if VSC transfers all the cases to CSC your case might be done by that time.

So we all should be sensitive and understanding of others point of view and not to attack others without thinking. I hope you will understand now.

Hi Jasminelily (and Everyone),

I think your "group letter/petition" regarding inconsistency times between the CSC and VSC in I-751 applications is a great idea!... Go for it! And I hope it works out for the best too! I agree, that "someone needs to listen to us", and by going through a senator/congressperson to listen can make a difference! After all, we vote for them (when we get citizenship that is) to work and represent us, so why not have them help us when we need them to?

Unfortunately, I don't live in the state of Texas, so I can't join you here. But I wish you all the best in getting other Texans involved in your "cause".

However, I have mentioned/complained about such to my local congressperson here in New York State when I made an "offical inquiry" for an "expedite", after 8+ months to be approved (soon to be 9 months as I'm still waiting for the actual card) of waiting at the VSC to CSC...So at least I figure that I did my part in getting someone here in NYS to listen to this "cause".

Overall, it doesn't seem fair that the USCIS 'promised' 6 months or under to approve such cases, and yet there are inconsistencies in the immigration system, with some people being approved at a slower time, while others being approved at a faster time. Bad customer service, indeed!

And yes, we all need to be "heard" about this "important cause", so that something can be done about it "for the better"!

Good luck on the rest of your immigration journey too.

HEY!

You are not the OP, I have no problems with you. I am completely voicing out my opinion on the OP's view about comparing VSC and CSC, the OP already have spoken, and I also did, we ended it. YOU should be sensitive too how applicants from CSC would feel if their processing will be affected adversely by the OP's petition (they are out there too and being quiet about how this annoys them). Now that I think about it, good luck. I don't care whether my husband filed in CSC or VSC, that was not the point in consideration here. I was just asking what was the basis of the comparison as it is not being realistic. And please, don't talk to me about what VJ is. I have been here longer than I should be.

poochie

I know you removed all your info so that people don't know where you applied etc.

And please, do not insinuate I intentionally removed info or have no timeline , you do not know me or what I am thinking. I'm a USC. Again, I'm all go for making VSC work efficiently (I'm not that mean lol, but I think that focusing on the history of the VSC alone would make for a great petition or letter, that's all I was pointing out.
