from wikipedia: "In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[2] " aka choey, ron,1lovingyou2,ronandnatalya

I am a nerd, I know :)

That and just a grumpy old troll under a bridge! LOL!

Hi guys, not sure if this is good or bad news.....

I just got off the phone with USCIS and confirmed that by 2/28/11, I will receive an answer (yay/nay/RFE)... He also suggested expediting my petition because once I get the approval, expedited petitions will go directly to NVC (not sure what this means or if it is so).....

He also confirmed that currently they are processing petitions with a priority date of 9/16/2010.

He open two service requests and said I would receive an answer within 5 days……and if I did not receive any answers or any status updates to email directly TSC…..he gave me an email address and suggested to email them after the 5days are up…

Not sure if anyone has seen or received this email address before, but its first for me…. I am not going to bombard them with emails now… I am going to wait to the 28th… I don’t want to run the risk of them putting me on the bottom of the pile...

Here’s the email:

I-130inquiries.tsc@dhs.gov

seriously :ot2: ....

When you say that they are processing those August petitions you mean Texas is?

I don't think USCIS have a clue what is happening in TSC. Far better to deal with the horses mouth so to speak. From experience, I can say that all the CSR reps and Tier 2 reps did was scare us to death.

At this point I can't believe anything until I see it. I know eventually I will get approved.

I really would like to know how long it typically takes to approve a case. Then again, the fact that our cases were just picked up and the dust blown off of them, would lead to a lot of workload for this month of February.

However, it has to be said, they put themselves in this position. It should of never happened. If I go past March 1st without an approval...I may become a Troll...lol :rofl:
