I-751 March 2015 Filers

[Lampion 0]

Is there anybody out there who filed ROC in March 2015 with no updates yet? It's been a year. Nothing.

There are still some pending cases. Couple people recently confirmed cases pending due to ongoing background checks. At this point, unless your NOA is dated beyond March 30th at VSC, all March VSC or CSC cases are outside normal processing time. So if your case is still pending and you have no idea why, you could either do a service request, infopass, or call customer service and request to talk to a Tier 2 agent to learn why the case is still pending. I bet the quickest of all would be talking to a Tier 2 agent.

Also note your N400 eligibility will be coming up soon (maybe already has begun), you could file for N400 while ROC still pending. Everyone says N400 forces the service center to take action on the ROC.

I also filed in March and nothing yet.

Wow and I though I was the only one, been waiting with no updates since April 2015. This is ridiculous, don't let it stop you from filing the N 400 when you become eligible.

Hi all,

we sent in our package in March 2015 as well and still haven't received approval. We had to send in more information but crickets since then... I am getting nervous and will definitely go and get an extension in my local office but this is crazy to me. Why is this taking so long?

For the ones that talked to a Tier 2 person - how do you request talking to one? Do you just tell the initial person you would like to talk to a Tier 2?

I guess I will also submit a service request.

Funny enough there is a thread on this: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/386995-how-to-talk-to-tier-2-uscis-officer/ Being prompt seemed to work for the most.

Thanks Charmander!

The next issue. -.- I am trying to submit a service request and it tells me

• You must select the Form Number associated to your Receipt Number. The Form Number you selected does not match our records for that Receipt Number.

How in the world is that possible? I am feeling defeated.

Are you using the tracking number from the Biometrics appointment letter or the 1 year extension letter? Remember there are two numbers associated with the cases and the one on the 1 year extension letter is useless for tracking.

The one from my RFE. So it should be the correct number as this was the only one that worked when I tried to track my case (useless). So I was finally being connected to an A2 pressing the prompt to get a call back and then it just kicked me out. Called back and am currently holding. Let's hope I receive some news, good ones preferably.

Called twice and asked to speak with an immigration officer. Waited for a few mins to be transferred, however, he/she did not give me any more info other than what I already know. "Your case is still pending" and when I said its already been a year, they said "make an info pass appt , get your passport stamped and wait"

[F1holdermarried 0]

Well, no news whatsoever. Why can't this person see more than that it is being processed? She is sending a service request for me but still, I thought Tier 2 officers were able to see more about the case than that it is being processed?

Same happened to me. I thought the Tier 2 officers were supposed to know more. It has been almost a year, and I was even told that my case is definitely out of processing times. Maybe it has to do with the background checks they are doing but then again, I would like that information so I am not completely up in the air.

The Tier 2 officer can see more but not all of it. To actually find out what is going on with your case they gotta send a request to the person handling your case. After calling 3 times, someone finally did and after calling another time cause I didn't hear anything from that person, they finally send me an update. "Case still pending" -.- BUT a month after I finally got a letter for an interview on the 10th. I'm nervous about the interview but we shall see.

I'm gonna print out so many pictures lol

I hope you guys hear something soon! It took them 11 months to get back to me :/

Well good luck!!!..I guess we just keep waiting and waiting some more

Ok so you received RFE, replied, and have not heard back since then. As far as I know, that means you are cleared of background checks. If that was still pending, they wouldn't have taken any action on your case. RFE indicates they did the first run of inspection. Right now I bet it is just sitting on someone's desk.

Couple suggestions beyond talking to Tier 2 agent; get your congressman involved and consider filing for naturalization, a lot of people mentioned that would force them to take action on your pending ROC.

I found this website https://www.dhs.gov/cis-ombudsman-update-getting-most-out-your-call-uscis-national-customer-service-center it says Tier 2 officers cannot review already issued RFEs. Probably that's why she suggested you for service request or infopass.
