How to Shake Your NOA2 Loose from the CSC

[BigCityDave 0]

Nope, no RFE, just a lot of waiting time. Oh well, I should just grind it out like you have to do sometimes in life.

If it's been 3 months and you're wondering, I recommend that you call. Depending on what you learn, you could make a mental note to call again in 4 to 6 weeks. For now, you will feel better once you dispel the uncertainty of "not knowing." You will learn nothing more than you know now if you resort to the usual method of waiting 30+ minutes on hold only to speak with a front-line screener.

Mox's points are well-taken. Add those to your thought processes, Dave. Nothing prevents you from making a call of inquiry, though; it's your right to do so. The thing is, unless you do call, there's no certainty whether your file is in a box on a shelf or somewhere else.

I did actually use TB's method when I called, but the CS person I got would not cooperate in the least.

The same thing happened with me, I was unable to follor TB's suggestions. The woman said that I would still have to wait 2/3 weeks and that they do not neccessarily proccess cases in the order they are received. How hard can this be?! My petition was submitted on Oct. 9!! There have been so many approvals but mine is still in the air. I figured once they received that eveidence I sent that it wouldn't take this long. Oh well atleast I did something, I hope I atleast receive some TOUCHes soon. This sucks

TB...you know I love ya man, but I wish you'd re-think this advice. I don't think it's a responsible position to take. I'm all for using the system to get answers when things are looking bad, but this particular instance has a 99% chance of failure and possibly impacts future calls for the petitioner. It simply doesn't make sense yet for this filer to call.

OK, then: Dave, considering the reasoning presented, it's probably better that you wait awhile before inquiring.

Correct me if i'm wrong but they went through the bulk of september in about 3 weeks. In theory for every month that goes by CSC moves ahead by one week? Sooooo... if the average sept filer waited 5 months then January Filers will likely wait 4 months. So Dave I'd say you've got at least until April 1st. If I were you I'd wait until April 15th or so before you give it a try, or at least until you start seeing December filers approved.

Even in my position, i'm not going to use it even though i finally got the NOA1 for fear that they may jak up my file.

Love your math!!! Here's to an April approval. It felt good to say at least. I'd be happy with May.

Well let Igor verify it statistically, but it definitely appears that CSC processes a month of filers in under one month. Sure there are a few beyond that but its due to their querky filing system. IE september files getting in october containers or on a slow moving desk.

My SO just called me. He did the RFE trick again and he was told that so far we have no RFE and everything seems in order. The lady told him that we should have a decision within next 30 days and that yes our case had been assigned to an officer (she could not say in which division). He asked her why people who had filed at the same time as us or even later had been approved and she reply that it just depended on the speed of the officer who had been assigned the case and whether the officer worked part-time, full time, or overtime.....

Excuse my english which is not as good as some of you ....my first language is french

Sounds to me like some of these officers may be getting tired of taking calls from people who have no legitimate reason to be placing them.
