September 2013 I-130 Filers

[nanana 74]

However, CSC used to handle 70% of the entire i130 case load, so they are used to it and very efficient...

ya, but now when you look at NOA1 for last months you will not find anyone from January and February vj members in CSC.. and barley few from Oct, Nov and Dec that went there- what does it mean ? CSC is done working on i130 when the transfers are over?

As we have the same PD, I'm going to assume you got proper information. I'll update the sheet that you're headed to CA!

Thanks! Tier 1s don't know where your case is routed do they?

according to her, the lady of USCIS told her there was no malfucntion, and our case was one of the few that was ttransferred to local offices, while others have been trasferred randomly.

in case this is true, that my case is at philadelphia local office, what can i expect?

are they fast? from the website of trends it seems thhey have lots of workload as well ...

No, they just read the case status that's on the screen (the same thing we can see when we log in).

well i guess it wasnt' a tier 2 afterall... she«s waiting for the call back, but the first lady she talked to, i assume a tier 1, said it was in philly and that she went further into the system to get more details.

how credible does this sound? i don't trust it...

Ok so I was transferred to NSC center as well. Not the happiest person in the world .

On a brighter note, I spoke with Tier 2 and I have so say she was one of the few IOs who was quite helpful and informative. She basically told me that the file was received at NSC today and I should see some activity (NOA2) with my case in the next 30 days as they are aiming to get back to 5 month processing time sooner than later (so I guess they realize that the clock is ticking for them). I also showed that I was little unhappy as so why it went to NSC and not any of the other two centers. Her response was as we are expediting the process, the file should be assigned to an immigration officer within 30 days irrespective of where it went. From what I am seeing, none of the August filers went to NSC so as soon as we see some activity in July thread for NSC transfers we can be next one in the line. Also - as I was typing this message, I saw someone with July 17 NOA1 (NSC) did see some activity on the case.

The bottom line is, it may not be as bad as we both are making it out to be. Think about it, most of the July/Aug went to CSC (70%)/TSC (~30%) and many of those applications are yet to be approved. So if we were also transferred to CSC or TSC we might have ended up waiting for same amount of time as NSC...Again I could me wrong but that is my own analysis. Stay strong!

Ohh,,,, So they are saying thy will start working on our cases before they get to the ones they've been sitting on for months?

The call back will be from a tier 2 and she'll get a more accurate answer. The tier 1 tried to tell me my I-130 went to the St. Paul office and I called her out on it. That's when I asked to transferred to a Tier 2.

Mkay.

Sigh,

Cannot make myself cheer up, Wine did not help.

That is what I interpreted. If you look at CSC/TSC, they are doing the same...They are processing June/July/Aug files all at the same time...They are putting lot more emphasis on Aug files..

Noooo, its all about fudging numbers to get an "average" processing time near 5 months. CSC will be working on JULY/AUG/SEPT for at least another 6-8 weeks, by then new petitions will go to CSC and they will work on them, thus bringing down the "average". USCIS has been doing this for months now, hence why we see JULY/AUG filers approved ahead of those all the way up to April/May!
