California Service Center To Texas Service Center

That's a really good idea! You should do that- hopefully you can get a hold of him/her! And I just opened up a fortune cookie and my fortune reads, "Your dearest wish will come true." Might that be a sign from the universe??? Hmmmm

JENNY...I pray to GOD that might be a sign from the Universe to you. We are all, at the moment stuck in hell. I can't even bare coming on here lately because I am so depressed about all this. I don't know what else to do except continuing to call everyone about this whole Texas fiasco!!

You should write a song dedicated to Officer Garza. What email address did you use for TSC?

I used this one: tsc.ncscfollowup@dhs.gov

Yup, stuck in hell, just hanging out together. Sigh. I'm usually not a positive person but I've been trying my best to keep my head on straight. But it's not easy...not in the least...

Are we now approaching the witching hour for approval emails??

I got the email you got. Do you think the names are real? LOL

[fermat 32]

They're just playing good-cop bad-cop. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if they were the same person.

Damn it Officer Vara! Why can't you be more like Garza! Maybe I'll send another email to that address...

[fermat 32]

My SR response said that my case was assigned to an officer. I believe that means it's being adjudicated. I don't want to write to this address and have them pull my file away from the officer adjudicating it. What I picture is at TSC two officers pulling my file in opposite directions until it's torn in half. Didn't your congressman say that your file was in the "Congressional Unit"? How did it get from there to 'records'? Sounds like something they maybe made up to tell dumb Congressman.

Hey, y'all- I sent an email to TSC last week requesting an update on my case and surprisingly I got a response:

Good Afternoon

Thank you for your inquiry. File will be requested from records for review.

Thank You

Officer Garza

Oh, Officer Garza- how I wish you were on our side...

[J e n n y 26]

I JUST GOT APPROVED!!! Omg you guys!!!!! I'm crying here!

Maybe someone has already posted this so FWIW:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_Judiciary_Subcommittee_on_Immigration,_Border_Security,_and_Refugees

Maybe some of these folks can help us. It appears the list is a little out of date. Ted Kennedy is still listed.

Good luck all.

Rickey.

[fermat 32]

Do you think TSC is reading this thread? I have a feeling that I won't get approved until the pages in this thread = the last three numbers on my reciept #. It won't be long now!

[Val and Gary 29]

I JUST GOT APPROVED!!! Omg you guys!!!!! I'm crying here!

TOLD YA!!!

CONGRATULATIONS JENNY!!!!!!!!!!!

ABSOLUTELY THRILLED FOR YOU!!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[J e n n y 26]

TOLD YA!!!

CONGRATULATIONS JENNY!!!!!!!!!!!

ABSOLUTELY THRILLED FOR YOU!!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you!! Everyone should email TSC!! It seems like it's the way to go!! Use this email: tsc.ncscfollowup@dhs.gov.

Oh, and this is what the email from USCIS says:

Your Case Status: Post Decision Activity

On January 14, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

Things are happening!! But I won't be completely happy until the rest of you are approved! Seriously- we're all in this together.

My hair is now standing on end!!!!!!!

As I was writing the last post a few minutes ago my text alert went off !!!

So I went to my account to check and:

"On January 14, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283."

I most sincerely hope and pray that this means that approvals are forthcoming for all.

This is a sweet payoff for me as I have been busy emailing and calling Senators, Congress people, newspapers, TV, and other media about our plight for weeks now.

I may never know for sure if all of the prodding actually did anything one way or the other. I would like to believe that others actions have made an impact, I hope that mine did as well.

I must now call my wife!!!

Rickey.

[fermat 32]

Forget about us. Save yourself!

I just emailed them and got a form letter:
