Notice of Potential Interview Waiver Case [Part II]

[shell20 746]

Finally received a written response basically telling us that they'll get to us when they get to us... whatever that means.

Charming aren't they!! It means that you get the GC when they aren't doing other things, what ever political thing is on the agenda at any one time!

[shell20 746]

You can send 60 days after you are out of processing times at your local field office. It has nothing to do with NPIW.

Natonstan sent his before it was out of processing time although it took 2 months for the OMBUDSMAN to chase it up!

Good morning Peeps,

Well another week and wasn't it another exciting one last week! So glad for Nlhernan now I want to see Moving on, Esperedo and a few other timers get their GC. Wonder if any one will get it on April 1st and think its some kind of joke? lol

Any way Peeps lets hope its a great week for approvals and may the green force be with you!

Yeah espared12, it's urgent but not really that urgent. It's not like you've been waiting a year or anything. Geez!

What I just noticed right now, is that on Friday they opened the Expedite Request and also opened a Service Request for taking longer than usual. I requested to be emailed for both responses and provided the same email address. Looks like the Service Request was finally sent to the National Benefits Center versus to El Paso, TX like all of the other Service Requests that I have opened in the past. The Service request now says that it was completed on March 28th, which was Saturday, but I never received an email. That was awfully quick for a Service Request based on past experiences. My work schedule has now changed, THANK GOD, and I will be getting out of work earlier now, so I think I will call again today after work to see why I was not emailed about Service Request. Maybe they saw my wife's case getting moved and quickly closed Service Request? Who knows, but I'll find out.

Yup, just a bunch of poo! Check this out, just found it in the immigration timelines. Looks like this person with November 2014 NOA got their expedite requested approved so they could apply for financial aid for school, also noted because of financial loss.

Smells like manure!

[nlherman 36]

Are they actually being serious? SMH!!

SMH?? Must be a Brit thing...

WOO-HOO GO TEXAS!

Having spent 9-1/2 glorious yrs in San Antonio, I whole-heartedly agree...

Actually, it isn't Smh, (Shake my head) I picked up from a friend who lives near Chicago. I use to sit there thinking what does that mean when she was on chat to me. Now I find myself constantly doing it when dealing with USCIS and seeing posts on here. I have begun to feel like one of those nodding dogs that people put in the back of their car!

Fairness is a word with transient meaning at USCIS. This time it's feces from a porcine source...

The again, if their case is at NBC, it'll take 2 weeks to transfer and who knows if expedite puts them any closer to approval at a FO...by then (in 3 weeks) you'll have your welcome letter...I have confidence in the 1 year time frame...

[shell20 746]

it could be my fault. i don't think i included a copy of her vaccination document when we sent in the original packet. she never showed it to me. anyway i hope they accept the one she had done for her K1 medical. i got everything I think i need compiled already, and just need to notarize the Affidavits from my mother and sister tomorrow.

I really think once you send in renewals for EAD/AP it kicks your case back into gear. It was only a few days ago they told me my case was still at the NBC, now its in Sacramento.

I wish I was in Sacremento, one of my best friends and life long friends live there and she tells me its beautiful, she use to live in Miami, but not been to visit her in Sacremento yet. I could pop over to see her and look to see if I can find your file!! I will personally expedite it for you!! LOL.

Ok I will expedite, go back to college and get aid, can't be bad!! Why didn't I think of that, silly me!

I don't see how that can be construed as a financial loss, where do you lose money going back to college?

However, I did read about a person who went to an interview, took a test, passed both and was then turned down for a prison officer job as he only had an EAD card! Now that's what I would call financial loss!

Hello guys, congratulations on all the approvals over the weekend!!! The rusty engine of USCIS machine is finally moving little by little. I am so happy to see people finally getting their approvals after a year of waiting.

Just a quick update, I just received a notification from the website saying that The Card was Mailed to me today. Took them a week to print it

[Derwood 203]

As we're talking about expedite requests this morning I thought I'd share my experience too.

Back in the UK I was a cop. When I emigrated I presumed that my career as a cop was over. This was because I believed that you have to be a US citizen to be a cop over here and by the time I got citizenship I'd be either too old or too out of practice.

On February 1 I discovered that four states will let LPR's become cops and that my state, Ohio, is one of those states. I then found that there were vacancies not too far from where we live. If I were to be successful getting one of those jobs the increase in my pay would have been phenomenal.

So I rang USCIS and explained the situation to a very helpful, yes helpful, Tier 1 officer who raised an expedite request on my behalf ... that was on February 2. On February 4 my expedite request went to 'assigned', to 'we sent a response, to 'completed'. A few days later I received a letter asking for additional information to support my request. The letter said I should receive a decision with 5 days of sending in the evidence. So I gathered all of the information together and returned it on the same day and then went on vacation for a week.

By the time i got back from vacation [steady yourselves, I've got a shocker coming here] I hadn't heard a thing. So I rang the mis-information line back and was told I needed to wait 30 days. I told the agent the letter said 5 days for the decision and after a polite argument I got put through to Tier 2. All they could tell me was that my case was still at the NBC and that the expedite request had not been turned down or approved.

Skip forward to March 10 when I managed to raise a service request to enquire on the status of the expedite. It sat unassigned until the 18th, was assigned and unassigned on the same day. As of now, I've had no communication from USCIS on either the expedite or the SR.

And that's where I am today. I can't bare calling the mis-information line to check up on it. I've thought about an infopass but it's a 90 minute drive and I'm not sure I can be bothered to drive all that was to be told BS.

I'm sorry I didn't share this with you guys earlier but I didn't want you to think I was trying to jump the queue. I thought my reasons for expedite were fair. Maybe they were urgent, but not urgent enough.

USCIS really know how to wear you down.
