When 120 days have passed

[karakmitchell 0]

Hey hey,

Just curious if anyone has heard anything from CSC recently. We're still waiting for NOA2 and the 120 day mark is quickly approaching (May 31st is the big day). Is contacting a member of Congress the best action to take? I know when I called the customer service center I was told 120 days is an estimate and that I really have no recourse if it takes longer. Is this really true? I'm starting to feel really desperate because we've been waiting for almost 4 months already. I appreciate any advice or words of wisdom!

Thanks!

If your in security checks the 120 day rule does not apply and you just have to wait it out, try sending an email or calling to find out about your case

kara,

I tried to explain to you about a week or so ago that yes, the 120 days is not something you can rely on; the processing estimates printed on the NOA receipts are a guess. Not even a good one. You will do best to look at the timelines of others who filed the same type of petition as you, to the same place, at the same time. And then it's still only a guess.

When the posted processing date for your Service Center is 30 days past your NOA date, you can start an official inquiry.

Lizzy,

There is no "120 day rule".

A case becomes overdue 30 days after its processing date has passed. Unless, as you point out, there's an IBIS 'hit' to be resolved. There is no time limit for that, it takes however long it takes.

So, for curiousity sake, if you get this name 'hit', it means that your fiancee or the potential immigrant's name and name only match a list of potential international criminals and/or terrorists names?
