Any recent approvals out of the Texas Service Center

[Dr. ZoSo 0]

Just thought I would post an update to my wife's case.

We scheduled an INFOPASS appointment at the beginning of last week for Friday 12/21. We arrive about 20 minutes early expecting a long line at the satellite office. After getting through the security check point (stripping ourselves of all metal was interesting) we continued onto the waiting area. I must remark that that satellite office was very nicely designed and managed. They had large flat screen TV's on the walls showing news and the number calling system which was also over the intercom.

We had to wait an additional five minutes after the first time we tried to check in because you can not check in until 5 minutes before you appointment time. After we checked in we waited 7 minutes before our number was called. Once called we approached the counter and talked with a nice CSR officer.

Now to the point...

She ran my wife's A# and informed us that her case had just that day (12/21) been touched by the Atlanta district office to be inputted into the computer system. We can only hope that means an appointment for her second interview is getting closer.

We also inquired about getting a new I551 stamp in my wife's passport so she could get her license renewed. The officer looked over our documents and said they are not allowed to give another stamp out due to the fact that my wife's 1 year extension was ending in February. I pushed the issue again after hearing this (nicely mind you...) and the officer took my wife's 2 year green card, extension letter, passport, and drivers license to her supervisor for review.

A few minutes later the officer came back and offered to stamp my wife's passport with a 6 month I551. We accepted, and out the door we went.

After, we went to the DMV and she was issued a 6 month DL.

So, we did get some answers after all.

Marknir, this thread is tracking people who filed at TSC before they started transferring petitions to CSC (after June 30, 2007). You would be better to make sure you are being tracked on the master list in the following thread.

That is correct. As far as I know they are still doing transfers to CSC.

Yeah, as they seem to lose speed even in their processing times, I believe they will move backwards now...

But it's all made up anyway b/c the real time is somewhere in mid-February. They'll probably just let it sit around April 8 or so until they actually catch up to that date. Meanwhile, I'm still within the reported processing time . . . .

[Dr. ZoSo 0]

We are passing the 11th month mark and so far we haven't heard a peep! I cant wait until we get to month 12. The way I see it either we are going to get an appointment within a month or we are going to argue our way into getting a 10 year green card with the help of our senators office because they used up their own processing time (as if that would work).

So, I'm staying optimistic. Only one more month to go before SOMETHING happens!
