Is it possible to contact VSC?

Hi all- this is a bit of a vent, but I think I need some perspective- thanks!

I got the NOA1 Nov 30, and not a word since then. My USCIS online account didn't work, but I was finally able to access it last week. I saw that my application hasn't been touched since Dec. 3 (presumably to cash the money order). I thought that applications are handled in the order in which they are received, so how come mine has been sitting there for months without even a glance from one of the officers, while others with much more recent NOA1 dates have already been approved? (I just want to know why mine hasn't been looked at, not why it hasn't been approved yet grrr) Anyone who filed with VSC in late Nov have the same experience? I sort of feel like it's too early to complain, but I'm beginning to wonder if my folder fell behind a desk...Is there any way of contacting them directly? It seems like a long shot, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

One note to VJ about the estimated adjudication dates: I don't think it is quite fair to suggest contacting USCIS "if the date range has passed" because this is sometimes a lot less than the processing time that USCIS projects, and they will not check up on individual cases before that time has elapsed.

Good luck to everyone!

Hi,

You cannot contact VSC directly.You an however call the helpline information number,but they are a joke.They will just read off their screen ,and tell you the exact same information.You might want to get your local senator or congressman involved,and just have them call the VSC instead.

That has proved to be very effective in some cases.So why not try.

And it is really unfortunate that they do not process in order,but one is really helpless as long as one is within the 'time frame' of 5 months.

The time-lines on VJ are not authentic,they are relative,whatever we input,it just calculates a rough average and shows you an expected date of approval.

We saw that shift around a lot,but eventually we just had to wait 4 months,which now seems okay(despite all our whining then )

so hang in there,but do contact your congressman.

It could work like a charm

All the best
