Your senator would have no reason to lie to you.

Have you contacted a Tier 2 Immigration Officer? Many of the Tier 1 Immigration Officers (the first people you talk to when you call the customer service line) are parroting from a script and cannot tell you anything that you, yourself can't find out by checking your case status or on the USCIS website. If you want to get a hold of someone who can see your case you need to ask to be transferred to a Tier 2 Immigration Officer. There will be about a 2 hour wait once they transfer you but you can sign up for the call back service and they'll call you back without losing your place in line, if you are calling from the US or have a US phone number. Otherwise you'll have to wait on the line.

You can check your case status by entering your receipt number (found on your NoA1) here (for Vermont it will start with "EAC"). You can check to see when your case was last touched by signing up here. Once you're logged in there will be a "last updated" date, which will tell you when your case was last handled.

My NOA1 was 1/28/13 from VSC and our file was transferred to TSC on 6/21/13. After calling over several weeks, I finally got a service request issued yesterday and I didn't even need to speak with a tier 2 rep. Maybe you should call frequently until you get a representative who's willing to issue a service request for you. Good luck to you!

i havent been transferred they told me im still in Vermont ,but people before me and after me have been transferred.. im lost

That is odd. In your case I would be very persistent and call every single day. Did they tell you when you will be out of processing time?
