Sharing my Senator's Office Response on CSC

[GaryC 7]

I also asked him about our cases getting transfered to CSC. He said that they are moving cases around to consolodate the various types of pettitions. Looks like CSC and VSC are getting the K-1's and NSC is getting out of the business of fiance petitions.

I have another communication from Senator Durbin's office.

Mr. _________,

I just received a call from another person on the discussion boards from Illinois. From what he tells me Vermont is already starting to issue the RFE’s so I put a call in to the California Service Center to see if they can give me any information on when they will start issuing RFE’s. I got their voicemail but the question I posed was that if Vermont is issuing them is California close in following suit? If not, do they have a specific time frame? If I don’t hear back from them by early afternoon I will continuously call throughout the day to see if I can get a response. I will keep you posted. Tim

However, all I-129F petitions received on or after 03/01/2006 fall under the umbrella of the new International Marriage Brokers Regulation Act of 2005 (IMBRA). All of these petitions will not be adjudicated, and will remain pending until Headquarters USCIS issues quidance regarding processing under this new law. This petition was received 03/13/06, and falls under this new law.

Please reference information found on the uscis website regarding I-129F petitions and IMBRA

This seems complete condradictory garbage to me.

On the USCIS website, they posted the damn public notices themselves that state that the effective date is March 6th, and that they had approved the document to be used as an RFE for all petitions affected by IMBRA.

Where do they get off stating that they still dont know what to do???

CSC has some serious organizational problems. I understand they are probably just disclaiming themselvves left and right, but until some action comes out of them, we need to assume they simply arent working. Now that everyone who originally filed there is lumped up with cases from other service centers, we really need to keep hounding them so they dont take much longer getting their WORK DONE and PRODUCING RESULTS!

CSC states that “All of these petitions will not be adjudicated, and will remain pending until Headquarters USCIS issues quidance regarding processing under this new law”. And VSC started to send out RFEs several days ago. CSC and VSC are under the same Congress, why they are doing differently. I am confused.

....Because CSC has never had their act together.

It doesnt hurt to keep at them with emails/phone calls/Senator involvement...and directly referencing the information we have about VSC actually doing what CSC cannot. Although we have understand that in the long run, they dont necessarily care about OUR timelines, they will, as human laborors, respond to pressure from their 'clients', superiors, etc.

CSC-XII.129f@dhs.gov

Write to them every day! Overwhelm them with demands to see PRODUCTIVE ACTIONS!!!

Perhaps they are working very hard, but they need to prove it or they shouldnt get a break.

I know, it's just good that we are getting it from more than one place. Takes it from "I hope it's true to IT'S TRUE"!!!!!!!

[BlueSurf 0]

I don't know..... it will be true in my mind when I have the RFE in hand. Then, it will be back to waiting for processing (which from all indications, they are uncertain on what to do with our paperwork once it is sent back to them).

I just wish there was a way I could tell them how to do their job!
