January Filers

[TracyTN 237]

She addressed herself as "Officer ?" and really used the words "approved pending supervisor approval". She also told me that my address wasn't changed in the system, which I asked our lawyer to do, and she couldn't change it now cause it was already approved. She then said that I have to await the approval in the mail before I call NVC to change the address.

So, I called NVC to see by chance if they already received it and she said "NO"! She told me to call every 2 days to check if they have it.

I don't know what to think....happy or very confused!?

I think even the folks who answer the phones are technically 'officers'.

Calling the NVC every 2 days will likely be a lesson in futility, at least until you get past the 'pending supervisor approval' stage. I'd call the same number back in a few days to see if you're past that - then start worrying about the NVC.

Hopefully it won't take weeks to get to the NVC, but that seems to be the norm anymore.

And a lawyer who dropped the ball on something? Say it ain't so!

Hang in there! What number did you call to reach someone at CSC?

Sounds like an approval? *fingers crossed for you!*

Thanks FutureMrs! I hope it really is approved and just waiting to go out to NVC. I need more proof before I celebrate though! I suspect there is a huge stack of approved files jsut waiting for the stamp from the boss before going out to NVC.

I just gave her a bollocking on the phone. Have to say it felt pretty good to yell at someone!

Just called the customer service # hoping to get more specific info, but the lady couldn't tell me anything but that my case is still pending, and not something specific like pending supervisor's approval.

Anyway, I really hope that supervisor comes in today and approves all of our cases! I need some good news!!

I really think she only told me cause I was trying to verify my change of address. When she told me that it hadn't been changed and I requested to change it she said she couldn't cause it was already approved.

I just changed my address too and said I wanted to check if it had been changed yet, and she said she couldn't see any of my personal information.

Did they transfer you actually to someone at the CSC somehow?

GL I'm waiting here eagerly. Sweetie on the phone said "ANY Updates??!" so gals in India are now gettin irritated over mr. CSC

Unfortunately, they are told to give the 'company line' - which is to say that you're still within processing times if you sent in your petition after October 2006. They don't really give a toss what you have read on a message board, or that you were 'touched'. They are instructed to give you the information they are allowed to give you or change your address in the system if need be- nothing more. It is frustrating, but it wasn't really fair to yell at him, nor did it even make sense for you to demand your approval from him. He is not a case worker, he's a poor guy who has to answer the phone and tow the company line.

I know you're frustrated - I was too. But yelling at someone to approve you (particularly when they couldn't approve you if they wanted to) doesn't help matters any.

How do you 'know' they have your approval anyway?

yeah , i did, and also after the 3rd time he repeated THEY ARE PROCESSING NOW OCTOBER!! I said: that is a lie and we both know it because now is the turn of the january fillers, the guy probably thought i was completely insane, I mean the only ones who know what january fillers mean is us, the vj's crew.

Let me ask you something: when you are pis*** do you think clearly?? of course not, and sometimes people dnt make any sense when they are mad, well that is exactly what happened to me, If the guy would had been nice to me, I am sure I hadnt said anything but thank you and have a nice day. I know he cannot give me my approval.... but whatever..... I did it that's it, there is nothing i can do to take it back

YEAH!! i saw it hahaha, I guess my case is going to the very bottom of the pile Well, that will teach me, next time I will just do what I normally do when I feel frustrated about my case, call my fiancee and yell for a couple of minutes about how upset I am with the USCIS processing times.

When I'm pi$$ed off, I do tend to be slightly more irrational, but not illogical (hence 'give me my approval') - but that's just me. When I called that same number, I expected them to tell me exactly what they told me (that I was pending - nothing more), so I wasn't pi$$ed off when that was all I heard.

His rudeness is definitely uncalled for. I know you can't take it back. I was just trying to understand your line of thinking (and how you know you're already approved).

the automated voice sounds like a disneyland announcer. welcome to fantasyland . . . where all your speedy approval dreams come true . . .

anyway - just called. got a nice woman on the phone. who told me nothing that wasn't already on the computer screen. oh well. i'm no worse off than i was a few minutes ago. i was impressed that there wasn't a long hold time, at least. didn't really get my hopes up prior to dialing. a lot less disappointing than two touches followed by a huge pile of nothing.
