I know we all get conflicting and/or contradictory information when we call USCIS to get status updates, but here was my call to CSC this morning:
I explained that my NOA-1 has a January 24, 2008 receipt date on it and the NOA-1 date is February 13, 2008. I explained that I originally submitted my application to CSC in October 2007 and it was prior to them changing their procedures instructing I-130s to be mailed to the Chicago Lockbox. I asked when would my file be processed, does it go by when the petition was submitted (October 2007) or the receipt date (January 2008)? He said, usually, the receipt date should be the date it was received in the mail room (so, it should of been October 2007) and they process petitions by the receipt date, as listed on the NOA-1. I stated my case: my petition was submitted in October 2007 and should be processed by that date and the date on the NOA-1 was incorrect. All he said is he would pull the file and determine if it was it's turn to be adjudicated.
I'm not going to hold my breath that this call will accomplish anything, but it is a last ditch effort to get things moving before I write my senator and ask for an inquiry.
