finally a feedback from USCIS.. :) my wife got a letter yesterday for an interview at local office for me and her, since this is a bit confusing we called USCIS, according to ISO they assumed i have entered to USA! does this happen to any of you??

Yes it did. I went without my husband since he's outside the US. I brought everything I have to show that the marriage was not a fraud. I got the approval before I left the federal building. I was scared at first but then it turned out to be a very happy day. Goodluck.

Good to hear. My husband called USCIS yesterday, spoke to a tier 2 officer and he told him that he might be called to the NYC field office for an interview very soon. We got quite nervous as we thought an interview was not such a good thing (maybe something is wrong with our case), but if it means approval, then I hope they call him this week :yes: He certainly won't have any trouble proving that our marriage is real (L)

Since your petition is no longer at CSC, I don't see why you'd care. CSC finish the rest of the August petitions months ago and they've been given no more since, so they can't be processing any past August 15th, since they didn't receive any past then.

I think you totally got it wrong. I think the date that we were told was the average date that the local offices where processing of the petitions that they got from CSC. Let assume what you are saying is correct, then in that case last time when we called we were told that CSC is processing Sep 1st week petitions by Teir2 ISO. So which one is correct now?

Hey Izabela, quick question. How did you know that ur petition is in NYC field office?, i ask this because when i asked the Tier2 ISO, they said they do not know that info.

Huh? They can't see the processing times for local offices.

They do, but they have to go into a separate menu or do something to see it. They can definitely see it if they feel so inclined. I've had their information about transfer date back up by my senator, the field office directorate, a letter from them, etc.

Hey Izabela, quick question. How did you know that ur petition is in NYC field office?, i ask this because when i asked the Tier2 ISO, they said they do not know that info.

They do know, indeed. But you have to be very persistent to find out, you have to insist and say that you have the right to know where your case is. My husband had to call three times before they finally told him that our case is at NYC... :bonk:

I just called USCIS again and was told that CSC is processing Sep 14th applications as of today and asked me to wait for couple of days. My petition is 177days old as of today.. 3 days short of 180
