So, wager a guess as to what date CSC is going to claim they are working on?

[kfischm1 18]

VSC used to have the same July 18 date as CSC and then in mid February they transferred some of the workload (DACA) to another service center and have since then been churning out NOA2s. CSC just transferred some of its workload to another center earlier this month, so perhaps we will soon see the effect.

For the sake of my sanity I sure hope so. I'm hitting 8 months in 4 days and feel I'm about to have a mental breakdown, literally.

Hang in there.

Have you contacted your congress critters yet? If I were you, I would be getting ready to get on the horn. If I get to June with nothing (which seems pretty freaking likely), I will start making noise. That will be just past 6 months. I hope I don't have to, but I am ready when the time comes.

I contacted my senator a month ago and they were supposed to look into. So far no response. On Tuesday I contacted my respresentative's office and they are supposed to be looking into it. They said CSC usually responds to them with something (even if it is just the BS standard lines) within a few days. So far nothing.

The most distressing part about the wait is that USCIS doesn't even give accurate information and blatanly lies to get us off the phone. Waiting is frustrating, but at the 5 months mark when I first started calling, had they said that I was looking at 3-4 more months of waiting, I would have handled it better. Not tell me that I should hear within two weeks and then two weeks later tell me the same thing, leading me on to falsely believe that the end is near when they know that it is clearly not, and lead me on an emotional rollercoaster for months. I think most of us, if we were given an accurate timeframe/information updates, even if it meant knowing it is a very long wait, would be disappointed but we wouldn't be so upset about the situation and would prefer that to being lied to.

When I start calling, I am going to document each and every call with extensive notes. As my little file grows, I will include it every time I complain to someone, so they will be able to see exactly what I am going through. Might help. Might not. I will do what I can.

So, I received a document the other day in response to a service request I made and it said that the wait now could be up till 1 year from when I filed, so till July 19...

That is seriously messed up.

[cereal 84]

It is, but I'm going to sic them with everyone, from congressmen to senators to lawyers, until those lazy degenerate government workers get off their asses and start doing something. If that's how they wanna play, then fine.

I am with you. I have sent a letter to my congress critters and the ombudsman. It was a general complaint. Don't know if it will do much.

It would be good if we could come up with some coordinated efforts to address this problem.

[Andreea&Kevin 38]

Now that it's been a couple months and they should be updating their processing times sometime soon. What would you guess now? Hopefully they move it enough for those people who are still stuck in the July - Sept. black hole to be able to easily file service requests.

My guess now is middle of August, but I still wouldn't be surprised if they left it at July 18th even now as they do some Jan 2013 cases.

[Oregon Bound 30]

They HAVE to move it from that now. I reckon they will put somewhere around mid August maybe 15th. Who knows. They are a law unto themselves.

[Portlandia 15]

My guess is that they won't update it at all until they're back on track - it looks like they're working on everything from July - December (and even some January ones) at the moment in a frantic effort to make up for lost time - so I think they'll update it at the end of May and claim to be back to 5 months. That way they avoid dealing with Service Requests. If that is true, it sucks.

[Possiblymaybe 371]

This update should be effective as of the last day of March. I wouldn't be surprised if they say July 18 again. I would hope that they would take into consideration the amount of work they did it April, but I doubt it.

[Lynkali 163]

I fully expect it to still remain July 18, or some July date at least. The way they're working, it's pretty clear that they're trying to lower the AVERAGE processing time (by doing December and even January filers mixed in with Sept-Nov ones), so they can report "hey, look, we've met our goal of 5 months, everything's perfect!" At the same time they'll leave that processing date where is it, so that they do not have to face the thousands of service requests from people left behind untouched in July, August, Sept, etc.

Yes, I am bitter. It is unfair. It is horrible and untransparent and not the way government should work.
