Yes I did receive my receipt stating that they received my application on Sep 27th and my application at CSC although I filed my appl with Nebraska SC. Does it mean NCS worked on my appl and then transfered it to CSC for a decision? Sorry for all this stupid questions just miss my daughter so much and want her over here asap. Thanks a lot for replying.
Yes,i would call USCIS,not that it will do any good.But let them know you are concerned,a few officers at USCIS are helpful,most are Robots,and they will tell you the same thing,reading from a script,how USCIS recieved so many app's after the fee increase...blablabla !!!!I call them everyday,and i mean everyday,today was the first day in a month I have not called.Mine also was recieved on september 27th,but at the texas center,than went to CSC,and then went to Chicago lockbox.I have not recieved an NOA1 yet.
the app's basically went from one service center to another sitting in Mailrooms.Chicago lockbox claims to be on NOV 13 apps as of 1/18/08...they say they enter them in the order apps were recieved,but no one at USCIS can explain why some get their NOA1 sooner than others,i believe there is a few who sent app in August still waiting....hang in there !!!!!!
