That recent October filer was expedited.

Thank you Saylin - I just saw that. Perhaps that explains the other October NOA 2 as well. Even though it doesn't change the fact that people who applied after us have been processed earlier, I don't want to perpetuate inaccurate information. Take care and thank you so much for your work on the spreadsheets.

I'm not sure about the second person from October getting their NOA2 early. They haven't posted or anything, but I'm going to safely assume it was an expedite as well.

But I won't deny that there have been numerous approvals from September that weren't expedites, yet there are still many from June/July/August without their approvals yet.

I truly do hope everyone that was transferred to TSC get their approvals soon. I can't imagine what you are all going through after waiting and waiting and seeing people after you getting approved before you. My advice is to stay positive and know that your approval is coming.

Just wanted to pop in and thank everyone for the support through this process ... good luck to you all

original post containing personal information has been removed and quoted above with the personal information blanked out. It is always a better idea to send personal information such as phone numbers via PM to the individual involved rather than posting it on a very public website and thereby creating privacy risks.

My NOA1 is June 25, 2010

Here is my experience so far with this paranoid

I have sent letters to all 3 senators and congressman, found they are extremely helpful and super active, they advised me to wait for 2-3 weeks for them to come up with a decision on my request whether to help me or not, and once they review my request and decide something then they will communicate with me via mail. And for everybody's knowledge, USCIS has 30 days to respond back to congressional inquiry, and not 3 days as somebody posted somewhere on VJ forum.

I tried to explain this TSC transfer problem to Tier-2 also, but they even not place a service request for me, every time I am hearing that the system says currently you are not out of normal processing time. What a nice and satisfying answers.....

I haven't wrote anything yet to TSC, CSC or Ombudsman yet, I am just waiting for any responce from congressman or senator, and then plan to write to remaining places (I mean TSC, CSC, USCIS Headquarter, Ombudsman).

Really painful time.....I am trying to stay positive, but what I found is I can stay positive until the process is fair and everybody is slowed down, but it's really hard for me to stay the same when our friends who filed in september are now at NVC, and we are told to wait more 180 days.

Fact here is TSC is not doing I-130 for long long time, whatever 3-4 approval we have seen here those can be during training period of TSC USCIS employee.

we send an email to tsc last night inquiring about our petition cz its past due already and havent receive any noa2..this morning we got a reply from them saying we need to call the NCSC number then ask for the .......

."service request management tool (SRMT) inquiry number, The date that you contacted the NCSC, Your name and receipt number and/or A-number, and If available, the name of the NCSC Customer Service Representative you spoke with. The Texas Service Center will review your e-mail and respond through this e-mail account or through the US Postal Service. "

then e mail it back to them....

hoping this is a sign of progress...

Yes, they are following you down on the the same procedure written on CONTACT US page of USCIS website.

They clearly says to you that contact NCSC (800-375-5283) first and wait 30 days for their action, if you do not get any responce within 30 days then contact appropriate service center. Problem here is you have to open a service request with USCIS NCSC and get the service request number, then wait for 30 days and then you are eligible to email TSC or CSC. Also if you do not get responce from TSC or CSC within 21 days then you can contact USCIS headquarter. In my case NCSC is always saying me to wait for 180 days before opening a service request.

[Entropy 4]

I got a reply from TSC via email... guess what... NOTHING!

"Hello,

Your I-130 petition was received at the Texas Service Center and is currently pending Service consideration."

Thanks, what an eye-opener!

Haha..what a Joke... so i guess no point emailing them... I am surprised they did not ' copy & paste ' all the Text from Case Status..

Has anyone recently called the USCIS, spoken with a tier 2 Officer, and been given an ETC reference number?

I called this afternoon in regards to the USCIS inadvertently sending me an erroneous notice about my application. The Officer again confirmed that a computer mistake had been made by them- and this time gave me a receipt number prefixed by "ETC". Before I could ask what good this receipt would do, I was paged at work and had to abruptly end the conversation.

Cheers
