Need I say that I have the GC already and a letter from my Senator saying that my application has been approved

They are worst then I thought !

Got this same e-mail today, had come in about 11 pm EST. Now I do not even know where my application is We are to check processing dates for an "unspecified" USCIS office. If a student wrote this, they would surely get a failing grade for not making sense.

I sent off a petition to my senator's office 3 weeks ago. Called them this morning, because I had not had a response. I was told it could take several weeks because they are swamped with immigration complaints. OR, maybe they are all busy running a campaign instead

I got same e-mail also today 11pm

I check the forums , about 8 people got same e-mail but two different, one it's say transfer the office , other one says transfer CSC location !

any coments ?

Thanks

Does anyone here speak Government?

Same e-mail received from CRIS <USCIS-CRIS@dhs.gov> here.

"The CRI89 PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED
was transferred and is now pending standard processing at a USCIS office."

Which office? I think I know what pending means, our case has been pending for well over a year now.

"You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done, counting from when USCIS received it."

Certainly can't use Nebraska, they are using some kind of Orson Wells time machine going way back in the past, and if I use California, our case was already processed a long time ago and is ancient history. But these are called service centers not a "USCIS office" that generally refers to a local field office, but field offices do not show processing of the I-751! And exactly what do they mean by "standard processing", was our processing prior to this date non-standard? Is standard processing much faster than non-standard processing? What's wrong with just saying, your case is being "processed"? That standard processing scares the hell out of me.

I know there is meaning in the above statements, and it is my fault for not taking "Government Language" in school when I had the chance. But please forgive me, and will someone please translate this message into English for me?

Did want to change the suffix on our dates from:

NickD..............03/27/07..........04/--/07......05/01/07........--/--/--.....congressman

to Congressman, Senator, unanswered letter to the NSC, Ombudsman, and God.

Yes, praying is yet another means to try and get some action that wasn't brought up yet.

Hello,

Got the same email, was about to fall off my chair. I thought I was going to get an interview and kept thinking about the evidence I need get together again. Thats going to be a huge task, I was hoping not to get a RFE or interview because I am dreading to get all my stuff together.

Onur,

I think we all got the same email content. The speculation is that they got transferred to CSC but that is all speculation. There is no email saying we are for sure transfered to CSC.

Thanks,
Dee

Oh! It also said "We process cases in the order we receive them." Does this mean we get stuck at the unknown "USCIS center" as "new" arrivals? I hope not - most of our applications were "received" over a year ago! I just hope that is bureaucratese and not to be taken literally.

Folks --

Apparently few of you followed the TSC-VSC bulk transfer saga (and, as compelling as it has been, I can't blame you).

These are precisely the same emails we received from CIS telling us that our cases that had been pending for ages at TSC had all been transferred to VSC.

We did receive a bit more notice of this than you -- first, an email on 1/31 telling us that our cases were transferred to VSC, and a second on 2/13 (some others received it on 2/22) telling us that the cases were now pending at the office to which they had been transferred. Looks like you only got this second email.

There was a flurry of touching on everybody's cases a few days after that last round of 2/22 emails, and then nothing for almost a month until they started approving -- in no particular order (chronological or otherwise) -- at the beginning of last week.

I'm not saying your bulk transfer experience will be identical, but it does give you some indication of what to expect. If anything, your approvals might come faster because CSC adjudicators are notoriously fast and loose with their approvals.

What, no Government Language interpreters here? I did briefly read the course syllabus on how to be a Government Language writer or speaker, use as many words as possible with saying a darn thing was the most important. The other was never use a double negative in a sentence when you can use a triple negative instead.

My best interpretation of this e-mail is to hurry up and wait, seems like I heard that before when I was in the military.

Ok,how do you explain this :
They updated my status on USCIS Website as
Application Type: CRI89, PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED

Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred.

AND I HAVE RECEIVED ALREADY MY 10 YEARS GC
I checked that card 1000 times and yes ...everything is correct + letter from my Senator saying that my application was approved
I think somebody out there made a big mistake sending these e-mails

Just got this email today too:

"Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred.

The CRI89 PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED was transferred and is now pending standard processing at a USCIS office.

Why doesn't it say WHERE it was transfered to? I'm guessing California, but what the heck?

Sounds to me like someone created a quick email blast yesterday... someone is playing catch-up! Hey, that works for me. Won't be in time for me not to go to Infopass next week, but yet, there is light at the end of the tunnel.



That is a secret Tammi..... shhhhhhh don't tell!

lol. I think it is a good April Fools Joke like someone else said.

Obviously a mass mailing, the good news is those that received these e-mails are still on the list.

Did anyone hear of anybody that was rejected through further I-751 processing? It seems to me that if the USCIS did reject a party, would have to admit to making an error in issuing the PRC in the first place. Never met a government agency yet that would admit making an error. We wondered if our petition was lost.

They could take the entire stack, approve them and send out new cards, historically, the number of marriage applications dropped drastically after they initiated extensive background checks on the original I-130, I-485, and G-325A applications. The I-751 is strictly redundant.

Hopefully the N-400 will go quicker as congress is putting pressure on the USCIS to get more voters.

I made duplicate applications of everything sent to the USCIS, just like any government agency, never know. But wonder if they would want original copies of the affidavits, didn't put our friends through that, but have the copies.

This is the last email all of the TSC-VSC Losers® received back in mid-February:

Application Type: CRI89, PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED
Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred.

Look familiar? As I said, though, all of the TSC-VSC Losers® had already received another email about two weeks earlier than this one telling us we were being transfered from TSC to VSC. There's no doubt you have been transferred to CSC.

But by all means, ignore us and our experience and keep running around like chickens with your heads cut off!

Yeah, I got one too. Mine doesn't say where it's been transferred to either.
14 months just to be transferred to GodKnowsWhere.
Surely the USCIS don't make mistakes.

"You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done, counting from when USCIS received it." - Difficult to do when you can't tell where your application is.

My NOA is January 31, 2007 but I did not receive an email about transfer. Now I am concerned.........
I requested another service request today

we got a transfer notification, too. At least something is happening with it!

is there anyone who has not received notification yet.
I have not Received

Just checked on-line case status, and there is a touch again today. No e-mail, same text (file at unknown location).

Based on what you all say, there must have been an on-line update earlier saying where the application was transferred to, but without an e-mail notice going out. I do not check the on-line status on a regular basis anymore, 'cos I had signed up for e-mail alerts - silly me to rely on their automated system. This all fits in with the general disorganized, incompetent practices at USCIS!

OK,like I expected ...THIS IS AN E-MAIL THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DELIVERED MORE THEN TWO WEEKS AGO but ....their IT Department is no any better then the Customer Service or the USCIS all together !
A job like this with my Exchange server at work will get me fired the next day but USCIS ......great place to work

Hi ,
I got the same email today ...

Thanx

2long,

I have not received email either and now I am very concerned!!! I called USCIS this morning and my case is still there.
My NOA is 01/31/07.

I am not sure if there is anything I can do at this point.

Recieved the same email last night.

Seems we have been transferred from the Black Hole to Limbo.....

I was half asleep when that e-mail came in last night, but looked at it again just now,

Subject: Case Status Information for Tracking Number: Gloria

Certain degree of personalization, I didn't notice last night they had my wife's first name in the subject line and did get her Receipt Number: LIN correct, that is two out of two.

Still leaving no stones unturned, we made an appointment with the Venezuelan Consulate in Chicago to update their passports in a couple weeks, and will stay in contact with my congressman and senator. Watching my checking account as probably the notice of the N-400 application, they seem to cash those checks very quickly.

For those that didn't receive e-mails, did you sign up for them? A link in the Case Status section at:

https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/selectusertype.jsp

Mmh, excuse me, but how would your experience in waiting for TSC help me with my experience waiting for NSC? And, since we did not get a notice it is in no way apparent that our cases were transferred to California. That is the general assumption, but who knows.
It ain't over 'til it's over...

I just noticed that my case was "touched" again today. Last night I still had a date of April 1.

bwwooak bwwooak.

I hope it is CSC and not VSC!

Come on, you know you've all been transferred to CSC. You know you haven't been transferred to TSC. And given that TSC has dumped all of its old petitions onto and backed up VSC, where else is left? Indeed. Moreover, many of you have heard that you were going to be transferred for a while now, and a couple of you (winterpassing, at least) even had it verified that the petitions were in fact transferred to CSC last week.

What seems to have happened is that unlike TSC, which sent out email on 1/31 telling everyone in our group that their cases were being transferred to VSC, NSC didn't send out email to everybody saying they were going to be transferred to CSC. You apparently just got the second email saying your cases had been received at the service center to which it had been transferred.

Thanks for noticing my reply and responding, though! Seriously. I see a lot of people talking past other people on this thread as if they lived in different universes.



This is where our experience is relevant to some extent. All of us were touched 2-3 times immediately after getting the received and pending email you guys just got.

Us too.

Ps. Can't someone CALL and find out where theirs was sent? I would, but I'm not the applicant, and my husband can't call from work. This seems like the logical thing to do to get to the bottom of it.

My senator's office sent an email yesterday informing me the case was transferred to CSC. That is the only way I know that it is in CSC. Other than that, I don't think the Customer Service number get more information than the online case status. In fact, they didn't even let me send a service request last time I call. Most of us have encounter some trouble in travelling, employment, or anything you can imagine. I don't think they care because we are not citizens.

Just checked - I got the same e-mail. Hopefully we'll all here something soon.

Yeah, you are probably right. They probably just read the same screen we are seeing. They wouldn't let my husband get a service request either. Maybe Tom can find something out at his infopass appointment this month. Our congressmen's office called yesterday and left a message, Tom didn't get to call back yet. I wonder if it was to tell us it got transferred to CSC.

I got It today

Hello,

Yeah, I got that e-mail too.
To be honest all I want is to get my 10 GC before September - so I have it ready when the time comes to renew my Driver's License. It's just such a pain dealing with people at my local License Bureau. Every time I go there, there is somebody different and they never know what to do with my papers, extension letters etc. I can only imagine how they gonna scrach their heads if I add a passport with a stamp to the mix (if, heaven forbid, my extension letter expire ).

I hope James and the rest is right and we really got transferred to CSC.

Good luck to all of us,
Ewa

Just back from my day in Chicago. I got my stamp in around 25 minutes. She snipped the corner of my greencard to make it invalid but gave it back to me. There were a lot of angry petitioners. One guy was having a yelling match with one of the immigration officers (who was giving back as good as she was getting) and had to be hauled away by the Chicago police but returned later on. I had no problems, got my stamp and asked if they had any more info on my case but nothing only that it was at CSC now to speed things up.

So, my husband got this in am email...

To quote:

The CRI89 PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED was transferred and is now pending standard processing at a USCIS office.

Ummmm thats all good and stuff that something is finally happening but what office did it get transfered to? I am hoping this is good news but am confused on where now to check processing times and such. Go USCIS, can we be any more vague?

Good news!

Wow I should have read the earlier posts.. Reading back now I see now others got this email.. so yeah hoping it's transferred to CSC.

Heh you can ignore my earlier post. I thought it was something new.

I couldn't agree more...


A-ha. Any approvals after that third "touch" then? Well, we'll see how the NSC saga continues. Or CSC - assuming...



Good news. thanks for posting - I'm going there next week for the same thing.

Lets just agree we are all aboard the good ship USCIS Titanic, and its a bumpy ride.

hi all

yesterday i got the e-mail and also today my case touched again ,

let you know

thanks

Mine is also touched today again. Still wondering why they are not disclosing, where the cases have been transferred.

Nothing happened for four weeks after that last touch. Then suddenly, five of us (out of the 27 or so on the TSC-VSC Loser® list here) got approved over the course of a week's time -- at the beginning and end of last week and the beginning of this week. Out of NOA1 chronological order, too. But nobody's been approved for the past three days, so we're all waiting to see if we get another flurry of approvals at the end of this week or the beginning of the next.

From what I've seen, VSC is a lot more deliberate than CSC, so CSC might get to all of these old NSC petitions more quickly than VSC did with the old TSC petitions. But who knows.

This thread is about removing conditions on residency that assumes the I-751 application, a burden put on us to assure to the USCIS that a US citizen did not marry an alien immigrant for the sole purpose of bringing that immigrant into this country.

So there are two parties involved, the US citizen and the alien immigrant, from reading other posts here, never sure who is posting is what!

When I met my wife, at first we developed a very strong platonic relationship, became for good friends and learned we had a very strong physical attraction as well, we knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. I am the US citizen, she is the alien immigrant, and she had a daughter that also required a working relationship that was between just her and me. In other words, could we be a family.

We had a short discussion, key factor is that we all wanted to live together, but in her country or mine? As she was from Colombia with her family in that country, no relatives in Venezuela, and I have a very huge family here, we mutually agreed that she and her daughter would come here. Point is, this is my country, born here, served my country, and been paying taxes for years. So just natural that I handle the immigration details, I feel now that I am fighting to keep my family. So I took it upon myself to learn all about the procedure, this was done before we were married, I certainly was no expert in marrying an alien immigrant as the I-751 assumes. Also decided with the very poor grammar used in the immigration forms and that the very expensive fees for all the applications could be lost with one error to hire the best immigration law firm that I could find.

I just enlisted the aid of my wife in typing in those foreign kind of addresses to make sure they were accurate, an interesting note, the downloadable forms from the USCIS force you to use a fixed over sized font where you cannot fit everything in that small box they provide. The forms I received from my law firm let you reduced the size of the font so you could fit everything in and still very readable, but they were the same identical forms provided by the USCIS.

With all this jazz about the I-751, I took it upon myself to contact my congressman, senator, the USCIS, the Ombudsman form, after all, I am the US citizen. In our interviews, I did most of the talking just keeping my big mouth shut when questions were directed to either my wife or daughter.

If a law was broken by me marrying an alien immigrant just to bring her into this country, well, she would be deported and I would be in prison, so not only fighting for her, but actually fighting for myself. I am the assumed guilty party here trying to prove my innocence that seems to be just the opposite of what our US Constitution dictates.

With some of the hardships imposed, my wife and I have already discussed moving to a different country where both of us will be welcomed. Seems ironic to receive a form that both my wife and daughter received in separate envelops addressed to each, Welcome to the USA! Then to have to go through this entire procedure again, isn't this a flat contradiction? First, they are welcomed, then put in a position to prove that they are welcomed?

This entire procedure seems crazy to me and contradicts everything I learned about this country, and a country where I was forced to put my life down to defend. I never asked anything from my country, on the other hand gave everything to this country and never received anything in return. But I did ask my country if I could bring the woman of my most wildest dreams here, and her daughter, they told me it would cost me so much, and that I can, and told me how I can do it, and I said, okay. And I paid the price.

This whole I-751 and the problems and stress it has caused really has me asking, is it really worth staying here? We are talking about the most valuable entity here, my wife. My anger is high, but I keep that to myself and attempt to use logic and reasoning. Also not particularly fond that a number of our most recent leaders are draft dodgers and claim to be patriots of this once great country. My dad wasn't even around to send me to Harvard to avoid the draft.

The battle to keep my wife here is my battle, not hers, and I feel for those here that have to take steps to stay here instead of their US citizen spouses. My wife comes before this country, and whatever it takes, even leaving it, I am prepared to do. I feel that I have been let down by my country. And why in the hell do they get Veterans Day off?

I received the 'transfer' email yesterday with no mention where it has gone!....At least my case is out of the Nebraska 'black hole'

Don't know if this is a coincidence, but I just followed the link in the email to the processing times and it took me straight to the California page...so I'm hoping that's where it has gone! Keeping fingers crossed here.

Hello,

Is there anyone who is waiting for more thank 14 months and did not get a transfer email?
My NOA is Jan.31, 2007 and no transfer yet.........

Thanks.
