California Service Center To Texas Service Center

[Val and Gary 29]

Based on the statistics that we have on VJ speadsheet about how many applications TSC has approved, I think transferring the cases back to CSC is a good thing.

TSC approved approximately 5500 cases in January, 900 in December and 400 in November. If 5500 cases is the maximum they can process in a month, with the 25000 to 27000 cases that are left it would take them another 5 months to finish. Even if they could up it to 8000 or 9000 it would still be three months out.

With CSC approving nearly 20,000 a month my best guess is that all of the transfer cases should be handled by mid March at the latest.

My best guess is that they are telling CSC to drop all other cases until the TSC transfers are complete.

The comment about the NVC gives me hope that they will be coordinating the effort with the NVC so that our cases will take priority over cases with later priority dates.

I understand how everyone has doubts about what is going on in this process, but to me the formal statement that they will be taking action is a positive one. What i see is someone taking charge, evaluating the available resources of the USCIS and attempting to take advantage of all available resources in order to fix what has been done.

The only unfortunate thing I see is that they didn't recognize the problem sooner and take action earlier.

In either case I am going to attempt to be patient and let them work things out.

And I am sorry to say it, but it sounds like the expedite that the September and October filers were getting is going to be put on hold.

Very good post, and someone, somewhere high up in USCIS has seen sense.

Felt like repeating myself..............

I hear a lot of complaining, yes, some of you have contacted media, elected officials and emailed USCIS but not taking advantage of the medium that I did for all of us in this situation.

I have nothing to gain from this, supposedly, I am approved but I'll believe it when I see it.

Due to a number of unforeseen circumstances at our Texas Service Center, many of these cases have not been processed and are beyond our estimated processing times

TSC received 36,000 cases between November 2-4 and only completed 400 in the first month. How can it be unforeseen that they will be problem?

This is only one of the number unforeseen circumstances, it would be interesting to know the rest.

Unbelievable.

Doing a quick little bit of math for everyone here to get an idea of the scale of this operation and how much we have invested in this process:

$355 application fee x 36,000 applications = $12,780,000

An expedite straight to consulate will do.

If I do not get an expedite to NVC and Embassy, I want $355 back plus 19.9% interest.

Ditto - our medical records have been ready since December 1st.

Remember that it took almost 20 days for my (and other) petitions to get transferred, and entered into the TSC's system. This could have been because of the chronic incompetence of the TSC, but I am sure there will be a delay as things are re-transferred.

Goooooooood evening my VJ fam! WOW a lot's happened today, took me quite a while to read through the posts.

I cannot believe the USCIS announcement. This opens the door to so many questions.

I'm concerned that a bunch of us are going to get hit with RFEs or that the 5-month "clock" is going to get reset once again. I'm also concerned about being provided with more false hope and empty promises.

However, as always, I'm not giving up hope

The next few days should be quite interesting...
