VERY COOL an nice Thanksgiving gift !! ( MAYBE )

maybe this is a stupid question, but how do you know it was assigned to an adjudicator? Did you call tier 2?

[longtrip 24]

@LoveMyTico, I called yesterday and this nice tier 2 lady told me it was assigned to someone and I should hear something before Christmas.

@LoveMyTico, I called yesterday and this nice tier 2 lady told me it was assigned to someone and I should hear something before Christmas.

wow, I talked to the nastiest tier 2 yesterday.. She didn't want to tell me anything and I was nice as pie to her.

I know someone is working on my case due to the status I received yesterday BUT that tier 2 woman was a BEOTCH... I honestly don't understand why people work in customer service if they don't like dealing with the pubic . Its nice to know the money I spent filing my petition gets me such wonderful customer service...( super sarcasm)

Even though I'm in a different filing category, I thought I might post in here since my case was transferred to Texas as well. A brief summary of my case: I have been on an H1-B visa since 2001. Employer filed an EB petition in 2003 but that has gone nowhere due to retrogression. I got married last year to a USC and filed my I-130 in April of this year (receipt date 4/8/13). Once the 130 is approved, it will be merged with my EB I-485 filing. So for all practical purposes, my I-130 is a standalone filing at this point.

The 130 was sent to Chicago and then was sent to NBC. I received multiple emails on 11/19 about transferring to a USCIS office, then local office. I then received a hard copy notice in the mail on 11/21 that my case was being transferred to the Texas Service Center.

I will keep you posted on the progress...

Cheers!

Tips when calling USCIS if you want them to provide you with detailed information about your case:

Act like you care about their well-being by saying the following:

Tier 1:

1. Good morning

2. How are you doing today

3. Could you please transfer me to a tier 2

Tier 2:

1. Good morning

2. How are you doing today

3. Always use the word PLEASE and try as much as you can to be polite

These tips have worked for me everytime and I have not come across any nasty officer; as a matter of fact we tend to have lengthy discussions

[SmiljanaDjuro 17]

So am I the only April filer who got no transfer and no word yet at all?

@ Sashy - did you get transfered yet?

I always try to treat them like I already know them. I try to carry a conversation. I kill them with pleases and thanks yous. But this lady I got yesterday was the spawn of satan. I tried to be nice. She just didn't want to answer any questions. ...

I hope they get moving on ur current case Tico's luv i have the same experience with calling them - don't want to tell me anything and just repeat what i can see on the website anyway. And just tell me that i have to wait till they contact me..... They r useless and rude for the most part. I in awe of those who have been able to get a polite and helpful person on the phone.

in 7.5 months, I have only had ONE really nice, helpful guy. He asked me what else I wanedt to know.. told me everything he could. Apologized for the long wait. But it seems most of those people hate their jobs... They are only a call center. If they don't have any info to give, then at least they could be nice. Just sayin !!!

[zamsha 10]

PD 25 I got text msg and email, My case has been transfer to my local office, So guys what's next?

[katieflossom 54]

My hubby is the politest person going, and he has given up calling them on the phone - sadly we just don't get any info and is just a massive waste of time. (It takes a LOT for him to call someone rude, and he thinks all the call center staff are super rude!)

Just hanging out, stalking-ly checking our case status online every 2 mins instead!
