USCIS

[coco2012 2]

Hi everyone,

My friend contacted USCIS because she applied in September 2011 for removing conditioning and she was told that they are currently working on July Cases. Vermont Center. So we have some time to wait :/

[danmarkx 5]

Oh yeah....we have a good wait. Seems we VSC filers might be waiting till like Sep. SMH. This is one time I wish I lived in California...so I would have filed to CSC.

[ding dong 0]

Even CA taking long time guys

[coco2012 2]

I wish they didn't take this long... But at the end the time is passing and we soon will be applying for our citizenship! Woo hoo!!! I guess we gotta look at the positive side

[biglos 0]

Hey Everyone,

Got my NOA 1/25/2012...Biometrics done on March 2nd, so are we gonna have to wait the FULL 6 Months to get our Permanent Residence card???

Anyone receive there's yet??

[lovelyalex 99]

looking more than 6 months biglos for VSC not sure about CSC

[lovelyalex 99]

VSC is showing processing August 1, 2011 forms right now.

[coco2012 2]

VSC is showing processing August 1, 2011 forms right now.

Oh wow, :s so if they move quick, maybe we can get our GC on September maybe?

[100% Al Ahly Fan 53]

Hey Everyone...

Quick question or rather wondering everyones thoughts/opinions.

I haven't really thought much about this whole process since I assumed I wouldn't need to start contacting USCIS after the 6 month mark after filing.

Well yesterday, I read something that made me say "hmmmmm." I read somewhere here on VJ that an RFE was send but never received and so of course delayed the processing time of the GC.

Well noq, I am panicking a bit. We never received our NOA1. Hubby got passport stamped. Our case was filed on January 19 and "touched" April 12. So now...I am wondering, could that be an RFE and we just didn't receive that either? Why do a random touch and then not touch it again since then?

We haven't moved or anything. We did get the biometrics at our fastpass appt and it also came in the mail.

Am I worrying myself for nothing? Thanks everyone.

It is possible that your case was transferred to the local office for "faster processing." If you are worried that you may have missed an RFE or other communication, you can always call USCIS and ask for a tier 2 officer. They can check in the computer for you. However, if your case showed a touch but did not say anything in the comments section about sending you an RFE, I think you are safe. Usually people who never receive their RFEs (and didn't know one had been sent) are those whose online status stayed in initial review. I think you will be okay, but calling them might give you some more peace of mind. Good luck!

My husband and I just got back yesterday after a month in the Philippines.

Yes, we've traveled despite my physically expired green card with the date March 29, 2012.

I'm so happy that LAX was cool with everything. After disembarkation, we went directly to immigration and presented our CBP form, passports and my green card. The officer didn't ask us any question. He didn't even look for my NOA but he conducted a brief biometric authentication. Of course my fingerprints matched the records. After stamping our passports, we picked up our luggage and presented our documents again to a customs officer. He only asked us these questions:

1. How long were you gone from the country?

2. How much cash do you have right now?

3. What do you guys do for a living?

4. Are you bringing any liquor, cigar, (and other substances that I can't remember the exact names)?

After we said no to the last question, he signaled us off.

All right. We are glad to be back home in the US. I have kept my NOA with me all along and luckily, nobody asked for it even once. I'm grateful because that part of the immigration system functions pretty well.

Congratulations to you and your husband, menina!

Here's to more approvals very, very soon for us all!
