Hi everyone,

Just sent my package to Texas last Wednesday, today I got the email saying it was "accepted and routed to CSC for processing". I live in Massachusetts so my district is Texas. So, I would think this means I got forwarded to CSC, which would be amazing because of the processing times. BUT, I don't want to get my hopes up for it just to get sent back to Texas and endure the awful wait.

So, can anyone confirm for me that I have been forwarded to CSC?

If your receipt number begins with WAC then you are being processes in California. From what I understand Texas is rerouting applications to other service centers because they are behind and overwhelmed. Hopefully this routing wont bog down California but as it stands they are a lot faster in processing that TSC. Luck to you.

That's what is going to happen. Seems every application is going to CSC right now. A few months from now CSC will be backlogged and TSC will be quick. Over correction...

That's probably pretty accurate. Since I've been here, I've seen switch back and forth. When I was first starting the process, CSC was backlogged by 9 months to a year. It's just luck with the combination of when you apply and where you get routed to.

If yours says MSC, you've been routed to the National Benefits Center. I believe this is normal for AOS applications, someone more knowledgeable can confirm or correct.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

Cheers, If anyone else in a similar situation has any info that would be great.

I went through MSC for my CR-1 two years back. They had just started taking cases at that point from what I recall. It was originally called the Missouri Service Center which is why the case numbers are labeled as MSC. It is now known as the National Benefits Center.

It sounds like yours is there based on your case number.
