Is this spreadsheet accessible publicly so we can also see the service center responses and make comparisons?

Thank you. You're more than welcome to out my data in there too or is that something I need to do? Usually I see these as text so not 100% sure

No problem. If you click the link you can add your data to the bottom of your center's page and it'll automatically update. I think it's easiest to do on a computer. Note that there are two separate tabs, one for CSC and one for VSC.

Our attorneys are located in California. We had special circumstances during the K1 process and they appeared to be the best in resolving our challenges. We've stayed with them since.

Hi Tcarrol,

PA folks supposed to file in Vermont.

From USCIS website:

Applicants must file Form I-751 at the USCIS California Service Center or the USCIS Vermont Service Center, depending on where they live.

This says nothing about where your attorney lives.

Your reply does not answer point I raised about violation of stated rules about where to file.

Where is rule that one can file according to where attorney lives?

Yes, of course, it is none of my business what you specifically are doing, but since this is a forum to help . . . others will be interested in this deviation from written rules and if it is available to everyone.

For instance, since California processes faster than Vermont, perhaps others should hire an attorney who happens to live in a state that specifies filing in California.

According to spreadsheets, 11 who filed in California have received Bio appointment compared to 1 who filed in Vermont.

This seems logical and fair.

Hello. I understand what you are saying. In a way, it doesn't seem fair. I'll ask our attorneys why they filed there and whether or not it matters. The biometrics appointment listed the correct USCIS office in Pennsylvania for us to visit. I'm thinking if there was a problem on where we filed, we would know by now.

I must be pressing the wrong options as if when I press 3 then 2 ..I get the following: when you press 2, you get info on what roc means and how to do it; what forms are for what ; visit uscis for more info and talk to virtual emma and you can download forms. End of that message is press 1 to order form and if you want to speak to representative about topic..you need to call back m-f 8-6pm ( I am calling at 330 pm PST)

I dialled 800 375 5283

>pressed 1 for english

>pressed *

>pressed 4 for LPR

>pressed 1 for lpr services

>pressed 3 then 2

Hi... I'm so sorry but seems like for some reason this "method" doesn't work for you..

I've just tried (was checking on myself if I gave you the right directions) and yes, after last "press 2" there are two option: press 1 (ignore) and press 6 to speak to a representative...

Just saw this today... You may try.. Hope this will help

"How to talk to a live person at USCIS?

Contact the National Customer Service Center (NCSC) at 1-800-375-5283.

Call early in the morning (8.00 am)

Option 1: Then dial 1, 2, 6, 2, 4 (exact sequence). Use these options every time you are prompted.

(You can also try - 1 - 2 - 1 - Case Number - 1 - 3 - 3 or 4)

Option 2: Call USCIS and Do not press anything (don't choose a language). They will think you have a rotary phone and will transfer you directly to a live person.

Option 3: Don't don’t choose the number for “case status”, but do different ones instead (for example “RFE”; “expedite your case”, …)

Option 4: Military Help Line: 1-877-CIS-4MIL (1-877-247-4645); Members of the military and their families may call to receive assistance with immigration-related questions.

If they speak Spanish just say English please. Now you can ask what you want.

Another method:

1. Dial the number.

2. Once it starts ringing, don't touch the phone, punch no buttons.

3. After 2 to 5 minutes, you'll be transferred to a Spanish Speaker.

4. Let the Spanish Speaker wind down, then Say, "English Please".

5. Once he/she gives the same spill in English, pose your question or ask to be transferred to an ISO, a Tier 2 Human."
