Hello All,

New dates are out on the website.NSC,TSC AND CSC,THERE ARE NO DATES FOR I-751,MISSING.ONLY VSC HAS DATES WHICH WENT BACK TO JULY 2006 ?? CONFUSION? CAN SOMEONE GET MORE INFORMATION ON THIS?

Kishore

We filed my wife's I-751 back on December 16, 2006 and the last time it was touched* was on January 23, 2007 which was one day after she had her Biometrics appointment. We have been waiting patiently (umm...yeah, okay...lol) ever since then as we know the Vermont Service Center takes the longest to process this particular form and that most people have to wait 6 months before they hear anything (some lucky ones hear sooner). Well, it's been 6 months and still no word but the processing date was up to November 1, 2006 so we figured we were very close and decided to wait just a while longer before calling. After not being updated for almost a month we were on pins and needles as to when the next update would appear and then it did this past weekend but to our astonishment the processing time had gone backwards to July 06'. Frustrated beyond belief I called the USCIS this morning. The agent I spoke with was less then helpful. She was a by-the-book type person who merely regurgitated whatever she was told by her superiors onto the public she spoke to. I explained the situation and she said that they legally have 1 year in which to process my wife's case so they can't/won't initiate any type of an inquiry until a year has passed. I aksed about the Vermont Service Center going backwards in processing times and she said she didn't know the reason but that it was not unheard of and she's seen it happen frequently and that sometimes certain service center's take the load from other service centers for some reason or other. By the end of our conversation I was starting to lose my temper :angry: and let her hear it in the tone of my voice as all in all she was of no help what so ever. I swear they should just have the whole helpline automated and move the real live people they have working it now to the service centers for extra help processing petitions, they are absolutely useless to talk to and know nothing more then you do most of the time...maybe then we'd actually see some progress!!!

Kishore

Notice: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has improved the reporting procedure for processing times of immigration benefit applications. In the past, USCIS benefit processing reports indicated the specific type of applications or petitions that were being processed and the date the cases were received. However, the date the case was received did not provide a clear indication of when USCIS expected to complete the case, nor did it provide a clear indication of USCIS’ commitment to process cases within a certain cycle time. It also did not align with the processing times and cycle times the agency reports in other contexts.

This improved reporting procedure is an effort to give our customers more accurate information that better reflects current processing time and USCIS service level commitments. Effective immediately, when we are completing applications and petitions within our service level goals we will report that as the processing time. For example, when our service level goal is to process a particular kind of case within six months, and if our processing time is six months or less, we will show a date consistent with our service level goal because that reflects our commitment.

When we are not meeting our service level goal, the date posted will reflect the filing date of cases that are being completed. It should be noted that while in some instances reported processing dates may appear to have regressed due to this change, they do not reflect a lengthening of USCIS processing times, but simply the change in reporting. Our goal is to provide accurate projections and thus give customers clear expectations as to what they can expect as a processing time.

There are several important exceptions to the processing times shown below:

Case processing will be delayed if we must ask you for more evidence or information.

If we ask for missing required initial evidence, count the processing time from when we receive that missing evidence.

The case processing timeframe will start over if a customer doesn't appear for an interview or asks that it be rescheduled.

It probably means two things..

1) All I-751's will now be processed out of VSC starting July 1 (with the other SC's rapidly getting rid of their inventory so the personnel can focus on other types of petitions).

2) Their service goal to processing I-751's is one year. They have now brought how they report processing times on I-751 in line with their other family based petitions.

Zyggy where did you get this info? What about those of us who were on the verge of getting our petitions processed (like our situation where they were a month away from processing our case before going backwards from November 06' to July 06')...are we just screwed over and they're going to process the other service centers July 06' petitions before they get back to ours? If so that is unbelievably unfair (is it even legal?)!!!

If so that is unbelievably unfair (is it even legal?)!!!

It's a very educated hunch based on what happened with I-129F's and I-130's in the past few years. WHat you are seeing happened with those petitions in the past

And you're not understanding what this means. IF your petition is already at a SC, it will stay and be processed at that SC (and very likely have more people put on them so they can get them out of the way and focus on other petitions). What this likely means is that starting July 1, When a petitioner sends their petition to the SC that covers the area that they live, that SC will input information, cash your check and then send your file to VSC for adjudication.

The new date doesn't mean they just stopped and went backwards.. What this means is that they have a year to process it and don't bother calling USCIS or your senator or congresspeople for help until their service goal date passes. In reality, they will be processing petitions well before the date posted on their website.

And USCIS can do whatever they want with your petition to get it processed... there is no "legal" right to having it processed at a particular place at a particular time... and life isn't fair and USCIS isn't fair either. The way they see it, you're a PR.. you don't lose any benefit by waiting for a I-751 to be processed. When I first started posting here, it took USCIS almost 2 years to process an I-751. Usually it took applying for Citizenship to get a I-751 processed and then it was processed at the DO when you were sitting for your Natz interview.

As long as they process those petitions they already have first then I'm not as upset about this. I realize life isn't fair but we've been waiting for so long and to be sooo close and then have the processing dates go BACKWARDS...well, you can imagine how shocked, disappointed and downright PISSED OFF that we were and I'm sure many more people are in the same boat as we are! I just wish the USCIS helpline representatives would/could be a little more helpful then spewing out info that we can read for ourselves on the USCIS web site.

I am on the same boat you are on! I really feel the same what you are feeling right now. I have been waiting since November 9th 2006. I was getting on the verge of being accepted but now this. I am so pissed and getting more more and more frustrated to USCIS. I really want to go back to my home country that I haven't for a long time. But I can't because I am almost getting there and I have no idea I will be chosen for inteview or not.
