If am in their shoes I will not return either, who doesnt like the holiday seasons?

The USCIS has to have some kind of staff if they are open. Im not saying they are productive.... but today and tomorrow are not "offical" holidays so they have to have some sort of coverage.

All I have to say is, they better get their asses in gear and start catching up with the transfers that are about to be 60 days old... Come on now.

Yeah, once that 60 days passes and then they tell you to wait 180 days (or something else equally unfair and infuriating) it's not going to be pretty around here. There are a couple of you ladies on here that I wouldn't want to be the tier 2 officer that gets your phone call.... Come on! I filed after you and I can't get any forward movement until you guys move on to the next step....

My file is still gathering dust at Overland Park

I wasn't a nice lady to the woman I spoke to on the phone on Monday. I'm thankful she was as understanding as she could be. I'm sure they are getting a huge wave of angry callers this week due to the new year, so I am sure the call centers are getting frustrated with the people processing our applications too.

[Kaylara 814]

Yeah, but after the last call and lecture from them, I could give a ####### less. Monday is their deadline for me. Then they're getting calls, and emails, and letters, and faxes, and more contacts with the Congressman, and Senators, and Ombudsman, and I'm going to raise more than a little hell because this is bullshit.

[LoveMyTico 999]

I am glad we are on your good side !!!! give em hell... I will be doing the same... I have to laugh because I was told my file is assigned to an officer but really? Maybe it was assigned the minute it entered the TSC... Along with the other 500 files sitting in boxes on someones office floor. I try so hard to be positive... UGHHH so hard

on a good note... they are declaring state of emengencies all over the place because of the snow..... I am praying I get to stay home with the kids tomorrow and wear sweatpants all day long !!!

[Kaylara 814]

Did you get a touch on your file when they "assigned" it? Because mine hasn't been touched at all since it got scanned into NSC. I am extremely doubtful that I will get an answer by Monday. Unless they decide to try to give themselves more time by sending me an RFE for something I undoubtedly have already sent them. But whatever, I'll take an RFE at this point if it means someone's actually dealing with my case. (When I told that last tier 2 that, he was horrified. Oh, no, RFE's are very bad. ####### EVER. RFE means someone's looked at my case. Besides, how is a possible 90 day delay any different than your answer of "You might be waiting over a year total." *%^*^$^%$@@#$%^&**~!)

I looked outside, and it's pretty snowy. Hurray? I'm not sure. The kids weren't real keen on it last time. It took about 5 minutes before my youngest declared that she was cold and didn't like the snow. LOL

Please let me [and others know] about the letter [you want to send to the all those bureaucrats] specifically for you - we are all here to support you. I am serious, I am sure all of us here will send a letter just for you.

No, the last touch was Dec 3rd which I am pretty sure that is when it was scanned in at the TSC. Thats why I have to laugh because they are all full of . Time and Time again they give answers they think will satisfy us. Its insulting.

I wish I knew what the process was for assigning a case to an officer. Do they split the files up by date ? Are the files sent to different file rooms where different officers have access to them, which means that my files is assigned? Which really means its sitting in a slightly smaller black hole?

I hate my job, so a state of emergency is a happy thing !!! The schools are already closed for tomorrow so it would be nice to get up and workout and not have to leave the house. My kids don't go outside in the snow anymore. The 2 that are still home are 13 and 17. One usually sleeps and the other texts and reads all day. I'll have to insist that my youngest makes cookies... LOL

I agree... an RFE would be fine with me. At least you know when they receive the ####### they asked for, your approval is close. Not knowing anything really sucks. The idiots who answer the phones have no clue what is good or bad..

I can't wait to take my husband sledding next year. He has seen snow when he was here for 3 years BUT he never went out to play in it !!

Oh, I most definitely will. And I appreciate it and will do the same for anyone else who is going to send out a letter for themselves as well.

The information on this site given by the former adjudicator is very helpful in understanding how they *used* to work down in Nebraska.

My husband is not big on snow, but I know that he loved taking our oldest out to make snowmen. And it snows a lot more and a lot more often here, so it'll be a change for him. Also, having the sun going over head during the winter and actually seeing the sun on a regular basis is going to take some getting used to here. The Netherlands averages about 23 sunny days a year and during the winter, the sun swings around the horizon. It looks like it's about 9 am all day for several months there. Very weird when you're not used to it.

I got the 60 day letter as well with my transfer. My 60 day mark will be a little after the first of February. When I check the online status it says that it is currently being processed at a USCIS office and I will be notified via email when a descision is made. Anyone else have this situation? Or did you guys just get the 60 fay letter? Either way after that 60 day mark passes USCIS will know me on a first name basis. Hopefully we all will start getting our approvals VERY SOON. NSC is where my file is at btw..but I live in California. Because that makes sense lol.

[Kaylara 814]

Yeah, we're in the same situation. I have a feeling that the next few months are going to be a very unpleasant time to be a USCIS Tier 2 call center person.

[livstrong 15]

Oh, I most definitely will. And I appreciate it and will do the same for anyone else who is going to send out a letter for themselves as well.

Hi Kaylara. Did you by any chance get time to call Senator Booker's office? Also just wondering how can we by pass tier 1 representatives ..... I mean if they dont transfer our calls to tier 2, we are pretty much stuck with whatever they are saying. I mean I spoke to Tier 1 on the 31st and she was nice enough to take down my information and give ma reference number but then I really dont know how much is that going to help my cause.
