Accoding to our scans and the september forum thats clearly not the case... but what happened is the better question 

Just take advantage of the error - call while you can and get an 'out of processing times' ticket opened... at the very least, it could bring your case to an adjudicators eyes and get it touched... what do you have to lose to take advantage of this assumed 'error :-'

Thats terrible, because people that are not in this forum, if they call and get this answer telling them they are working september cases, they will get crazy thinking that something wrong is happening with them.

 

Thanks to all of you for all the informations you provide us.

 

By the way, I want that what your image says, become truth today and everybody could get NOA2

I really want it to be real! 

 

I don't really know but that's my wish! 😊

Maybe they had "K-1 day" at the adjudicators office and everyone stopped other types of visa to clear us out in one single day and try catch-up to get up to date before thanksgiving....... its a dream, but hey - who knows right?  That kind of push would take time to enter all the updates into the system on our actual case files...???

JUST AN OUTLANDISH THEORY....

haha, nice dream......

Customer service is only reading from a script which at this point they are going to tell you that they are reviewing September cases, but they are not. The point of the processing times chart is to give a "guideline" on where USCIS "should be". Meaning, according to where the should be right now during this time of the year, they should be reviewing September cases, but they're not. What the processing chart tells you is that they reviewing up to September 1st. Meaning, cases on or before that date are being reviewed. They put that there because they know people are gonna call and ask them, "what is happening with my case and when will it be reviewed etc." This timeline just gives them the room to say we are in the process of review cases up to this date, which keeps them compliant because a lot of cases (like May filers) are soon gonna be at 180 days so that would be that later we would be do to file an extension as our cases will expire if they don't get reviewed.

 

The best analogy I can give it is when a commercial says that everyone is up to 50% off - which means not everything is 50% but it gives that company room to play with the discount.

 

I hope I cleared that up for you.

Sorry - thats actually not correct.

'Processing cases as of date'... that means this is the date they are majority working on now, and thats always been the case, with it being behind reality... We know they are working on May from scans... the website said April (behind May).... when we knew they were working on April, the website said March.

Now it suddenly jumped past May, June, July, August.... but its definitely not cases "up to" September.  Its claiming "as of" September, which has always been the method of that data.

Good morning everybody!

 

I really dont understand what is going on with them, my fiancé called some minutes ago, and asked about our case, and the girl took our informations and said that he will receive a called in 15 days to let him know what happened with our case because they worked may cases already and now they are working on September cases. 

 

So, is there a posibility that they have worked May, June, July and August cases and haven't updated in their page? or is it just  those people that work in their service center don't know what they are talking about? 

My fiance will try to call them today. Hopefully, they will be helpful. Are you directly asking them to talk with tier 2 officer?

Unfortunately those days are not should be dates. Those are suppose to be the only accurate information. Cause they are legally the date that gives all of you the right to call them and say my case is out of processing times. 

 

Actually that means the earliest date  they are on is September 1..

Yes, thanks, it is very clear.

Guys it really doesn't matter unfortunately at the moment. We have to unfortunately again wait. For an answer or for some explanation we can figure out with what we have.

 

all I can say is for the moment:

1. You can call cause you are out of the processing times!

2.no september got anything yet! So please be calm and logically remember they are not going to jump over 9000 cases!

3. We are going to learn what's going on one way or another

 

4. And the most important one; it will end one way or another and we will get our noa2s

Not saying you what you both are saying is not the case, but the chart is one thing, and what they tell you on the phone is another thing.

 

Like you said, when the website said one thing but we knew it another thing.

 

Because if that be the case, I can call them right now and asking them what is the status of case since the chart says you guys are working on September. They are gonna tell me to call back in 10-15 or so because they know they are not working on September and my case is due to expire if they don't touch it. But if someone in August, July, September calls then right now, they are gonna tell you that you are within normal timeframe and give you the rest of the scripted rhetoric.

 

Trust me, I'm not saying what you both saying is incorrect because the chart should accurate information. But mostly likely, when they update the chart again on the 15th (or whenever they feel like it) the date is gonna go backwards because by then April/May should be wrapping up and June should have already been started.

 

But again, I'm not USCIS. I'm just stating my opinion.

 

Added note to @vocaledge...just like you said that the site says "'Processing cases as of date"....means they are processing dates of that supposed date for the benefit of those that filed in September in order for them to stay within compliance. And also counter those that call requesting information because that keeps them in the clear. If they would have kept the processing date back to, let's say, July/August - they put themselves outside of threshold to stay in compliance.

 

But I'm not disagreeing with either of you about what you both are saying.

Try to call, maybe at least for the call they can pay a little more attention to the case.

I really dont know who he talked with, maybe with the first that took the call, I will need to ask him later.

I know. 😊

 

What i I meant was about the meaning of that date. Correct or not as long as it is written there it doesn't mean cases up to September 1, it means the earliest case is that. 

 

So so I understand you, and they may as well made a mistake. But the meaning of that is different than the interpretation. That's what I meant. 

 

But it right now when people call they are getting replies as you are out of the processing times. This gives the legal right to take action.

Thats all I meant too.  Totally respect your opinion, and agree with your assessment of them making a mistake etc...
The fact is, that website data has always been their standard for if your congressman (or you) wanted to take action to request an expedite to your case.

Thats why I suggest people take advantage of this 'error' before they rectify it.

And you're absolutely right. However, in a production environment, this is what they do to cover themselves.
