Does anyone call USCIS-TSC for follow up? Its been 6mos and yet there's still no update for Aug filers. :(

I think now is the time to call. Maybe they’re  still on vacation over there, who knows😩... I’m October filer but following this group because if August gets approved, it let’s me know that I’m getting close to approval too. But at 6 months, I think you guys should be calling. Potomac service center is already working on October. This long process is ridiculous and we’re not even half way thru....

What number do you call to get an actual live person? I’ve called the general number from their website and it doesn’t give me option to speak with a person. It seems to be all automated and tells me the same thing in regards to my case that I see on line, “case was received.” 🤯🤯

Try calling 1800-375-5283 or 212-620-3418. I think the last number is better. Let me know how it goes please.

I have seen 4 August approvals on the app that I check (two PD August 6th and approved on Feb 25th and two August 1st and approved on Feb 21st) and one RFE. I haven't checked many dates though so there could be more. It's not much, but it's starting :)

Oh. Which app do you check? 

It's the Case Tracker for USCIS app. When you search for USCIS on the app store it's likely to be the first one that shows up (it is the first one for me but that might vary based on country). It lets you search up to 500 cases at a time (although if you search too much you'll get blocked for the day) so I played around with the starting case number until I found August cases.

So far I did the online inquiry and got back “your case is still within processsing times” We are at 7 months pending

Interesting. I didn’t know that app had such a capability. I’ll try. But yes I’ve been hoping for some August approvals, none so far on VJ which is disheartening.

The one thing I keep in mind  always with VJ is people don’t come back to update their status. Hopefully that gives you a little more hope like it does to me.

But 0 August people didn’t come back, less likely. Would’ve liked to see a few by now given Texas’s timeline since last 2-3 months. But we shall wait as we have been lol.
