Just thinking out loud here regarding the 60 day supplemental notices that were sent out.

We know Tier 1 and Tier 2, given day and time, their mood will give a different answer. The fact remains they sent written notices out saying they have to process within 60 days and this was part of their effort to reduce workloads and process faster. We also are seeing that emailing the individual service centers does nothing especially when there is no service request number which of course you can't get because Tier 1 and 2 go by the Feb 13 processing dates...So was wondering if there could be a mass effort to complain from those pending 60 days or more....

I am wondering if we can email SCOPSSCATA@dhs.org collectively stating the following: This is the email addy mentioned on USCIS if you can't get a response from the service center...

Dear Sir/Madam,

My I130 case (Receipt Number -------) was transferred to ____ (Name of service center) on __________ (date). I received a supplemental notice with my transfer stating that due to USCIS diligent efforts to reduce processing times, the case was transferred and USCIS will process within 60 days and I would hear something. I request that my case be looked into as it has been pending for _____ days.

I understand the requirement is to have a service request number by having called the National Customer Service and having placed a service request. I was unable to do so as Tier 1 and Tier 2 representatives refuse to place one stating the case is outside processing time of Feb 13, 2013. This is unacceptable as it's double standards on part of USCIS. If USCIS is allowed to go by it's written information stated on it's website stating they are processing Feb 13, 2013 or before petitions (which by the way I disagree with), then we, the stakeholders, are also allowed to go by USCIS's written notice stating that our transferred case is to receive some processing within 60 days.

I urge you to look into this matter at your earliest. It is unacceptable that cases are pending for so long when the national average time when we filed was stated to be 6 months.

Sincerely,

Wow wow can't belive this, Today I called their phone number and after entering my receipt number the general recording said that " your petition had been transferred and it will take 180 days from date of transfer to process"

I want to know if all of you are getting these 180 day thing or is it just me?

I had gotten that too, when I called. Ignore it. You've got the supplemental letter that says 60 days. Go by that.

Please ignore that hiccup.

I thought the same, but my wife was about to faint afer hearing that recorded message, she took it seriously and could not imagine that people like USCIS can also lie.

I pacified her that many are getting approved on VJ and we are probably up next. Was else could I do. When I told USCIS is lying on that recorded message she could Not belive me.

This is a great idea.

Got to make some noise...Feel free to add your case details you feel relevant to see if you get an answer.. Like priority date, name of sponsor/beneficiary etc. Got to make noise that they are going against what they said in writing (to shut people up after the first round of letters) and they are just as accountable to written as they expect us to go by their Feb 13 BS.

Not to put fuel on the fire but I found it very interesting how many petitions TSC completes in a month for the past 2 years..

She sounds very sweet. They can and will lie. If your wife is used to living in a world where people honor their deadlines and commitments, she needs to know that's not the case for the organization that she's currently dealing with.

Nebraska's aren't much better.

I asked whats up with the 180 day wait when I received aletter stating 60 days? and the other day I was todl my petition is with an officer... how can it take another 180days??? lets see what they come back and tell me...

OMG, this woman is an A$$. she is giving me the Feb 13th date. This woman is acting like I am a kindergarden student. I asked to be transferred, she says " I will have to post notes... please hold" Tier 1 knows nothing !! really they don't... this broad says it is 30 calendar days after the service request... NOT business days. I asked if she was sure , she said YES, it would be stated if it was "business days" I really think this woman is just throwing out info... She said that the 180 days is a general timeframe given to everyone. I said " how is it possible that I have waited 9 months already, have been told I am assigned to an officer and now the wait is 180 days from my transfer?" She says "Ma'am, this process takes time" She still never answered why I received a 60 day notice with my transfer notice and now they are saying 180 days...

She said Texas is closing out files from Feb 13th.... What a CROCK...

68 minute wait for tier 2

[friendlyusa 37]

They did complete 101 petitions in Dec 2011 but that from that point they started going down and down & were only able to complete 9 petitions in entire month of May 2013

Should they not be getting in to guinness book of world records on such an achievement
