You guys will not get transferred cause your files are going/went to the service centers directly from the Lockbox. So it's Lockbox-> Service Center That's the way it used to be up until August 2

No. We will do it now. They would ve told us to wait for 60 days , if we called before 11th September. We are planning to put SR today.

I am confused about talking to tier 2 officer vs service request. Which one is effective and faster? For sr response, it may take upto one month but at the same time i ve read of cases where tier 2 call wasn't informative. Can my wife call USCIS helpline on Saturday? Or they work only office hours?

Have you called tier2? If yes, how was it and what did they say?

call tier 2 bindas, its not gonna hurt anyone. I called for like 20 times ...

Contact your congress man

Take appointment for Info Pass (BTW not recommended, its waste of time)

Email service center directly

At least ring the bells...

My case is same like yours. 60 days for rfe response completed yesterday. We will file service request today.

Are you at VSC? We had RFE as well and took 90 days from VSC to get approval. Just to give you timeframe. You are not alone, it is common to go above 60 days after RFE especially if security checks are not complete.
