Just got off the phone with USCIS NCSC. Escalated to a service representative per my request. Told her my story, she looked up my petition number, and told me that there was nothing new to report. She did say that I could expect my case to be completed and sent to NVC within 2 weeks. Nice to hear, but not holding my breath.

Also, as I was browsing another website, it appears that VJ members who were transferred to TSC are not the only ones having problems getting their cases adjudicated and/or forwarded to NVC.

That sounds nice- I hope they come through for you this time, and I hope they get things moving for the rest of us as well.

I was just told by a Tier 1 that they were working on July 16th and 17th applications. Its clear to me now that TSC viewed the transfer as reseting the clock for their purpose.

Well, just got off the phone with USCIS, after following the instructions given to me by a Tier 2 rep last week.

Here is the newest information I received from my Tier 2 rep as of tonight..

1. The service request is still being processed.

2. Our case was given a priority date at TSC of Nov.1, but the information was not formally entered into the system until November 23. This being the case, TSC has 90 days in which to work the information as given, so based on the information, I was told approx. that the case would be adjudicated in or around Feb. 23.

3. Apparently a lot of cases were entered into the system at TSC by November 23. And most of them are now being worked. No other information was available in the system at this time.

I also found out that when you call the Customer Service Line, you could be talking to a CSR anywhere in 45 field offices in the US. Most Tier 2 are located in Los Angeles. They also only identify themselves by there last name and there ID number.

When I asked about the processing dates that TSC were working on, the Tier 2 rep explained that there was no definite date they were working on there at this time. They were working on the cases as entered into the system. This was information to me, and I wanted to share it with all of you.

So, that is the just of my conversation with the Tier 2 rep. My Tier 2 rep also advised that if you are feeling left out, contact your US Senator, or your US Congessperson as soon as possible, to assist you in the process.

That's it everyone, sorry I don't have more for ya.

Haven't been on in a couple of weeks. Just wanted to get through the holidays. Sad to see that little has changed and no one has received their NOA2. I've contacted my Senators and Congressman. I hope at least they can determine what 'background check' is taking so long. I've stopped calling USCIS because every person says something different. The last person told me to wait 180 days from my last notice. Another 6 months!! What a joke!! I'm already at month 6 and counting.

Priority date November 1?! Well, do they mean that the previos priority date has nothing to do with them? I was about to get approved at CSC, it was my 5th month, and now they are telling me that the priority day is in November so they can continue working on my case for another 5 months, is it correct or did I miss something?

seems correct to me. Nice...so while others are getting approved in 3 months, we are going to get approved at around 7-8 months. This all was to speed up processing correct? :rofl: :rofl: We all deserve expedites at NVC for the ###### we have gone through.

Cutiezoe,

I am just wondering what email address you used to email TSC. My NOA1 date is just a few days before yours, so maybe I should try emailing them too. This is the one I found: tsc.ncscfollowup@dhs.gov, is it correct? Thank yoU!

Hi Jmks ")

Yes, i used that email add, try to email them your concerns.

Good luck to us.
