My wife's application was transferred to CSC in mid-April. The last "touch" was April 30. Thanks for making this thread. I didn't realize that the California Center was so slow. I'll be a bit more patient. My wife already has EAD and AP, so we're not in a rush to get permanent residence.

I didn't realize you could get a green card without an interview. Did they just send you a green card in the mail?

Got the same letter as everyone else did when it comes to being transferred to CSC/speedier processing time ... Well we stayed for 10 months at CSC, and then it was sent to our local office, and then a interview letter, and then AOS interview in Jan 2012 and then waited forever it seems for green card in April 2012.

So really it all depends, not all cases get a interview but I am seeing more interviews that have been sent to CSC lately on here.

Good luck...

wow ur screenname "foreverwaiting" is really on point. i saw ur timeline and yeah u two waited forever and they even lost the EAD??? call weird timing or bad luck huh lol... after all that waiting and still have to go to an interview that must really feel weird and bad..

but u got it all in hands now right EAD/AP/GC, so yayayayyayaya .happy for you two :)

No prob. Called the number in the notice (they only have staff between 8am-8pm; though they do not indicate time zone, I assumed Pacific, since the notice came from CSC; it was about 6:30pm Central when I called). I can't recall the exact sequence of options, but the first time I let it go thru and the menu self repeats. Then I took the obvious: have a case, not new, need status, etc; after all that i actually got to an option that would get me to a person. Couple of minutes later I had someone -in SPanish- which luckily I speak; She pretty much told me what I knew, 'case transferred', etc; I said I knew that but it had been taking quite long and I wanted to know what to do in this case (I was meaning service request, but in prior interactions with USCIS I find is better to keep calm and let them come up with it themselves; they just work there). She said average time was 4-5 month, unless offices in LA which is 4; then we had some discussion about whether the time was counting from time of application or transfer. Shen ended up saying from application, but In our case it didn't matter so she then asked to speak to wife, to get her ok that I can speak on her behalf (you want to have your spouse around so he/she can give the ok); after that she started asking questions to fill out the request: address, phone numbers, e-mail, etc. At the end, said to call back in 15 days if no news. Calendar days that is. I'm preparing authorizations and letter to my COngressman, just in case, to send the day I call back; also, looking into Infopass. So far (1 week), nothing. FInding hard to believe that they would 'approve' our petition in less than a week; but I'm open to miracles.

Good luck

Thanks a ton for this! Seems like a shot in the dark, but you put it well. Open to miracles :)

That's not the CSC though, it's just the customer service centre (unless that's what you meant by CSC) who are generally as useful as a chocolate fireplace.

Haha so... I should get some graham crackers and marshmallows your saying?

So...they are sent to CSC under the "speedy" processing BS; sit there for several months, then they eventually decide they can't handle it, so it's sent to the local office where it undergoes the normal process that should happened in the first place skipping CSC altogether....Our taxes and fees at work I guess.

I was just looking at USCIS timeframes for CSC and they say that they are processing AOS applications from January 2011. And our transfer was suppose to "speed up our case"? :wow:
