January CSC Transfers

[Lagavulin 2]

After hearing nothing from my Service request, ombudsman's request, and congressional inquiry, I submitted an inquiry to my Senator's office today. Any ideas where to go next??

When you contacted your congressman, did you sign a release form so they could help you? If there's no signed release they can't do anything to help. But there are some congressmen ans senators that are no help to. I contacted a senator and congresswoman at the about the same time. The congresswoman's office got right on it and the reply came back to them within a day of their inquiry, who forwarded the reply to me. Took about a week before the reply came back through the senator's office. But I didn't talk to the aide directly, I just faxed in what they needed and let it take its course.

Agreed. I guess if nothing else, try calling the reps local office to see if they have received your release and if they have heard anything yet.

Yep, both my wife and I signed the release. I called the Constituent services rep at the congressman's office handling my claim and she said they should hear something in the 4-6 week timeframe. I called her yesterday (3 week point) and she got pissy with me and told me to relax until the 4-6 week timeframe was up. I told her that it usually doesnt take that long to get a response to a Congressional inquiry and she said "yes, it does." There was no winning with her, so I thanked her and hung up.

On the Senatorial level, I called and they told me they had received everything and that it was with the "triage" group, and should be assigend to a case worker in 2-3 weeks! Arrgghhh!!!

So, I faxed off my forms and paperwork to my other Senator yesterday. We will see what happens there.

I have served thsi country in the Military and as a Federal Agent for 25 years now, and I am disgusted at how USCIS and my representatives in the government are handling this issue. How can they be approving I-485's submitted in May and June when there are still people waiting from last year!!

FINALLY!

256 days since they received it, 224 days since it was transferred to CSC, 19 days since our representative submitted a request on our behalf we have CARD PRODUCTION! Yay!

That's ridiculous. Gosh, I'm sorry you're having so many problems. I was right there with you. I can't believe the office was getting snooty with you, I mean....that's their job. Right?? Also, what is a triage group? I wonder if your area has a lot of immigrants or something and maybe they get a ton of people asking for assistance?

I agree with the approvals of people from this year. It's heartbreaking to see that there were people getting approved who weren't even MARRIED when we filed. I'm sorry you're going through this without any sense of someone willing to help out.

FINALLY!

256 days since they received it, 224 days since it was transferred to CSC, 19 days since our representative submitted a request on our behalf we have CARD PRODUCTION! Yay!

Congrats!

Hi all,

I finally received my Green Card yesterday!!!)))So, it has been 8 months since I applied. It is funny, that I received approval notice only today (after I received my Green Card), though it was dated August 3.

Good luck to everybody who is still waiting!!!

Congrats! It's always nice to finally break free from the red-tape. We also got our official "NOA" hardcopy after getting the greencard.

I would definitely be voting against that rep, and I'd be rather vocal as to why! I'd probably write a letter to the rep and tell them exactly why I will never vote for them also. Could be your rep is just plain anti-immigration, even if its legal immigration. I've noticed some that are very vocal about illegal immigration are also just plain anti-immigration unless is highly educated white people out of Europe. Your senator sounds pretty disorganized to. Granted senators have a lot more requests to deal with, but waiting days to call a meeting to decide who will work on something? Best way you can prevent actual work from getting done is to call meeting to discuss who's going to do the work and how. Some of the companies I work with are great at calling so many meetings you don't have time to get the work done and then they wonder why the project takes so long.

One year after we sent the package, we received the msg that card in production. We were a bit nerveous since we didnt file any form related to her medical.

I called USCIS on Monday and put in a service request for my husbands adjustment of status. The women was very friendly and got started on the request right after I told her it had been 8 months since we filed. I hope we hear something helpful from it. If not, my next step in my congressman's office!

Well don't be surprised. for some reason our case took a long time. They transferred in Dec and we just received the text msg that her card is in production

Our Original K1 was very fast, almost amazing.

We filed my wifes AOS Oct 31 2011

EAD /and AP at the same time.

EAD and AP were approved in a couple months.

and the 485 was sent to the California service center.

Currently it shows as in *initial review*, and we have received no RFE's, etc.

nothing but silence, which is likely typical

This seems a long time now, but looking at the various tables I don't see the

general timelines to know if this is about right , or should we be getting more proactively involved?

I know the information is likely here, but I couldn't seem to find tables for the CSC that related

directly/exactly to family based AOS's.

and appreciate any replies on the expected time frame.

I would be inquiring where my application was...you've been pending since October? They don't really have timelines for Family Based AOS since they are handled so differently and usually case by case basis. Some may take longer than others. When were you transferred to California? Your timeline isn't filled out, lol. Yes, October is a long time to pend. If you were transferred to California, their timeframe was within 180 days of transfer, but most cases are going a bit longer than that. Have you contacted them at all?
