Confusing Input from My Senator's office

[DavidandEli 0]

I just talked to him and he agrees the input from California Service Center Does not makes sense.

Mr. @@@@@,

I recently spoke with the California Service Center and they stated that your application should be decided around 60-90 days. I then spoke with her about how some petitioners were getting their petitions approved even though their petitions were sent later than yours. She stated that should not be the case as they are processing petitions in the order in which she came in. She did say that if I received the receipt numbers of those petitioners who sent in applications after your date she would check on it for me to see if this was in fact the case. In order to do that I would need privacy act release forms completed from those individuals to verify that those individuals got approval notices even though their petitions were sent in later than others. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

My response was:

I am really confused now. My application is now 138 days old. They are working on everything after March 6th now.

https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/Proc...nter=California

They received my application March 11th.

That means that my petition should be in the next 5 days of work, but they have been at March 6th for about 2 weeks now.

60 to 90 days more for them to do 5 days or work is horrible news and does not sound correct.

I think your response was a good one. The information you recieved was a total disclaimer, but to me, they made the mistake of trying to verify that processing was going ahead as per the ususual method, which is clearly NOT the case. Furthermore, asking to verify that OTHER people have been approved before you is a massive violation of those applicants case. What good would it do to verify other people's cases....its just a stall and an attempt to disclaim guilt. The bottom line, is, they should neither be making up excuses, nor claiming that everything is normal when it is clearly not, as your response made clear.

I hope your Senator will get the reaction this right and not stall by pointing objectives in the wrong direction. There shouldnt be any reason to PROVE others went first...instead he/she should be finding out why YOURS (and others who should be in line) hasnt been one of them!!!

Please keep us posted as to what their response is to your reply.

You got the standard canned answer from their customer service desk. Remember they arent even located with CSC that is the national number that goes to an office somewhere. All the do is read off a script.

They are so full of ####### over there. How do they sleep at night?

Again...we have yet to see proof that anyone actualy DOES work at CSC!

Seems like maybe its just one person working out of their apartment right now.

I think we are done waiting for them anyway. This mess is creating unbelievable hardship for us.

She is just going to come for the 90 days she is allowed and not work.

I just need to find out how long she has to stay in Canada after the 90 days is up before she can come for another 90 day stay.

No they gave the Senator's office the canned response. That is just slightly more bold (or maybe not).

Who are government service workers accountable to anyway?

We are seriously considering doing this as well.

Joseph22's comments above were right on the money. I would be very very interested in hearing what your senator's office has to say about CSC telling you to supply personal case information to them REGARDING A CASE OTHER THAN YOUR OWN. Massive violation and total bullsh*t. What are they smoking over there?

For the sake of VJ solidarity and being a team player, I would volunteer to submit my information to prove to the Senator that the CSC is full of bull roar..but uh, I HAVE YET TO GET MY DARNED NOA2 YET!!!!!!!!!! My receipt date is 3/15 so I should be on the cusp, but I am not holding my breath.

Maybe one of the June filers that got approved before the ink was dry on their petition would volunteer It would be a nice gesture and an outlet for the guilt they must be experiencing seeing everyone else suffer

Rutt-roh!!! I sure hope they didn't run out of toilet paper ...

It looks like your RFE was sent back on the 5th of July. Are you sure they got it? Did you track it? I think it's taking a bit longer in your case but your still within the time.

Those two June filers being the only two approvals for NCS transferees...which is really a mindf**k!!
