How to deal with USCIS CSC

[union 0]

I am just going to give you some pointers that have worked for me in the past and has gotten my petitions timely adjudicated.

- Become vigilant in calling and making service request especially after the petitions is clearly beyond processing time.

- Always ask to speak to the 2 tier officer, and if your request is denied hang up and try again with another agent.

- Contact your state senator or representative and give them a detailed report of your case and the frustrations you have encountered through the immigration process.Be sure to sound objective and also add how much faith you have that your senator is able to resolve the matter. Remember Politicians love flattery.

- Contact the USCIS centers using the following emails,you can use the same letter you posted to your senator, just remove his/her name.It seems that the officials checking the email have some sort of authority and can move your case.

California Service Center: csc-ncsc-followup@dhs.gov

Vermont Service Center: vsc.ncscfollowup@dhs.gov

Nebraska Service Center: ncscfollowup.nsc@dhs.gov

Texas Service Center: tsc.ncscfollowup@dhs.gov

Last but not least, you can contact the USCIS ombudsman,they can check into your case and at times contacting them has proved useful in gaining more information about your case status that does not show up on the USCIS website.

All in all , the main thing is to become a Royal Pain in the Butt for the Uscis,which in turn pressures them to get things moving.We pay too much money to have to wait so long for a process that onlt takes the 20 mins.

It's my understanding (and my experience) that the front-line Misinformation Screeners are required to escalate your call upon your request. Insist on this, and remind them of their obligation if they give you any flak.
