[On-Queue 3]

We're CSC and we've now hit the 6-month mark from NOA1 date. What's the number to call or is it the (800) 375-5283 number listed on the receipt notice under the Laguna Niguel address?

Congrats to all May filers who have received their new GC.

Yes that's the number to call. You have to speak with the service agent.

The reason why I called is to follow up the status and make sure that the ball is on their end cause I never heard anything from them since Biometrics so I just wanna make sure that they did not send me anything, RFE, etc and I wasn't able to respond on it. It turned out that I just need to make a call to update my status on their end. Yay!

How do you get access to somebody at this number? I am going round in circles wiht the automated voice...

I had the same problem when I called them.

Here's the quick way to speak to the customer rep/agent

Dial the 1(800) 375-5283

Press 1 (For English)

Press 1 (Immigration services)

Press 1 (To check the status of application)

Press 2 (Select "you do not know your receipt number")

Press 2 (Select "you cannot locate this number)

You have to select you cannot locate your receipt number so that the automated voice will transfer you to an agent.

Just follow this numbers to press so it will direct you to the agent right away.

Hope this would help.

My wife called USCIS today and we were told that we count six months different than they do. We were told that our case has not been 6 months yet and that we should call back after December 23. Our receipt date is May 23...now when I consulted the star charts in tandem with my slide rule and abacus six months in days would be November 23. Hell, even if you started counting from June 1, December 1 would make 6 full calander months. My wife even counted the months for her and the lady still said it has not been six months since our receipt date. The lady was very nice and at no time was she rude...but she stood by her guns that December 23 will be six months.

Well, now that I look back over the paperwork...she may be going off the receipt date of the biometrics appointment notice which is June 20th. If they use the receipt date of the bio then she is correct. I always thought it was 6 months from the reciept of acceptance of the I-751 package.

Oh well...it will come when it comes

If VSC still working on May filers, does that mean November filers like myself will have to wait a long time to hear back anything into 2012? Did they strictly work by month?

Thank you for the update. I feel the same as you. Resigned to waiting...it will come when it comes.

My hope is once they get going they will be super fast. VSC use to be the faster office. Who knows why things are so inconsistent with processing times.

Sooo Happy to see a VSC from here approved!. I am hoping to receive mine by new year as well. Hasn't been updated since June and I applied early May would make a great New years gift lol!

Oppsssss!!! My bad. I did it in my iPad and I did a preview post. LoL. I'm so sorry and thanks for fixing it Yurika and Jim

Well today I got all excited since a letter arrived from DHS. Unfortunately it was an RFE (still no updates or touches via the USCIS case tracker, mind).

That being said, it shows movement at least. Apparently they need more evidence of a good faith marriage, etc. Just spent three hours printing out what must be about 100 pages of stuff ready to send them tomorrow:

Copies of our joint tax returns for 2008, 2009 and 2010

A copy of our lease agreement for 2010-2011 and a lease addendum/extension for the period 2011-2012

Copies of the first page of our joint bank account statements for every month from October 2008 to December, 2011

A copy of our driver licenses and automobile insurance card showing shared address and shared insurance liability coverage.

A copy of our previous automobile insurance showing our shared address and shared insurance liability coverage.

A copy of my wife's voter registration card showing our shared address.

Copies of our telephone and internet bills for the period December 2010 to November 2011 showing our shared address

Copies of our garbage collection bills for 2011 showing our shared address.

Copies of 2010 adoption papers for our pet cats and 2010-2011 veterinary bills showing our shared address and shared liability.

If that's not good enough, I don't know what is.
