~~~Post merged with existing thread.~~~

Hello All,

This thread is for those cases transferred to the Potomac Service Center. And of course for anyone else that would like to comment. It has been particularly difficult to not know what is going on with the new service center. Maybe we can help each other on here with updates. Please include when you filed and received your receipt number, and also when you were transferred and if you receive any updates.

Hi July filers!


My case was transferred to Potomac center October 16th.

I was out of the city for a week, but I always checked myUSCIS and there was no update. I came home today and found NOA2 in the mail. My petition has been approved. Receipt Date 07/10/15 Notice Date 11/9/15.
I hope everybody who got transferred to Potomac will get their approval soon !!!

PS. Checked myUSCIS today, last update was 10/16/15

Wow you guys, we are on our own . . . just kidding. This new service center will either be totally disorganized and we'll be waiting eons, or they will have all the latest hardware and software and low workloads and crank out our applications pronto. Other wishful thought was that we were all sent there because we are the easy slam dunk petitions and will get our approvals extra fast. Sigh . . . . . good luck to all of us. :clock:

I just saw this thread. I guess the PSC is not so new. Too bad USCIS has not seen fit to post processing times on their website. Hmmmph. I was originally accepted at the TX service center Oct. 19 and transferred on Nov. 9, 2015 to PSC. I was counting on a Jan-Feb 2016 approval and now who knows. If anybody has gotten anything from PSC please let us know!

I don't know how I missed the earlier posts on this thread but things are moving fast, in this thread at least if not at the PSC. So one person has been approved and it took 4 months. That is about normal I guess. Good luck to everyone!!!
