K-1 -Waiting for Noa2 from CSC

[sco/wen 3]

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone else from August is still waiting for their NOA2 from CSC. I haven't received an RFE or anything. I know it says normal processing is 5 months but i seem to be the only August filer still waiting for NOA2 from CSC. It will be 5 months next week , should I try to contact them at this time ?, should I maybe contact my State Congress or Senator ?

Any advice would be great

Thanks and Merry Christmas to all.

Your Senator and Congressman won't likely be able to help until you hit 5 months from your NOA1 date. California is processing petitions absurdly fast, but that doesn't change the 5 month standard processing wait. It can't hurt to try, but the response from CSC will most likely be that you have not exceeded the 5 months. If you contact them once you hit your 5 months it may be a different story.

Not sure if they will tell you 6 months to file an inquiry, like we have to do at Texas Service Center. Doubtful as CSC is much faster. Don't forget that the population of VJ users is only a tiny percentage of petitioners. There's likely still many people waiting from August, just the ones from this site have already been approved. Each petition is different - randomly petitions can take the full 5 months or longer.

You should definetely contact them. I applied in October, received an RFE in Nov., and after 11 days of them receiving my RFE reply they sent the NOA2. The whole process takes 5 months, receiving NOA2 if no RFE should take no more than a month or 2 if you did like me.

I appreciate your response but if you read my post I was asking if I should contact my Senator or Congressman at 5 months.I wasn't suggesting contacting them now. It is 5 months next WEEK.

Thanks for taking the time to advise. Do you think I would be better contacting Congressman or Senator ?

I say put yer calendar on hold starting 19 December, and pick it up again on 5 January.

I was thinking i would wait until January 6 before I call USCIS and then hope they can put in a service request at that time. Then I will wait a few weeks before i I contact a Congressman or Senator. Do you think I would have better luck contacting my States Senator directly in D.C. or contacting my local district Senator for the county I live in Madison, Wi ?

I did read your post, and I responded accordingly. If you read my post I reference you contacting them at 5 months, not next week. I gave both scenarios and at no point ignored your original post.

I contacted both Congressman and Senator and only heard back from my Senator so far.

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear but next week will be 5 months, My NOA1 is August 2 , for some reason it reads August 6 and I can't change it. Did you contact your States senator in Washington D.C. or your local district senator located in your states capital building ?

Thanks again and Happy Holidays

You'll want to contact your congressman and senators in DC since USCIS is a federal agency, not a state agency.

That being said, the congressman for your district will have a local office that you can contact, rather than the DC office. Not sure if that will get you a quicker response or not. When my time comes, I'll probably send duplicate letters/ emails to every location possible.

so, it's 2 senators and 1 representative.

each of them have an immigration liason staffer human working in constituent services.

I suggest you call around, each and every office, and inquire:

1. name of human

2. email address of human

3. fax # of human

4. length of duration of time in service, ie - how many months or years this human has been serving as the Immigration Liason Staffer for that office?

then (if'n it were me) - try to choose the ILS human with the longest tenure in doing the ILS job.

Why? These folk know their job, all of the nuances, and have better contacts back with USCIS than someone who just started last season.

They were both federal in DC. The paperwork was sent to their local offices but they are my representatives from Congress and the House of Representatives on a federal level.
