So how does anyone actually KNOW that CSC is still working at full capacity?? Where did anyone get this info?

Has anyone tried the RFE trick to see if anyone asks??? :)

Under 10 approvals this week?? I thought we were already over that number??

Gosh...it seems like this whole process just gets worse and worse everyday. This is getting ridiculous. As if the curse of the USCIS wasn't enough, now there are F-ing wildfires to sabotage things further.

Noone knows anything and if you wanna call, you can try :)

Well what it looks like is that they call the customer service number or something and then say that their case is taking really long and that they think they got an RFE or something like that...and so the person answers them something...usually if you call 5x a day you get 5 different information...people who were already approved weren´t told they were approved and were told to wait a couple more weeks...etc...sometimes people get lucky though and get a nice person on the phone and they give them an accurate info on their case...but mostly it´s very inaccurate I think..

I just called, and the lady insited that even though my case has been assigned that it can take 60 days for the officer to make a descision. I told her that I know that people are getting approved who filed after me, and she said I'm still within current processing times and then hung up on me. So their working today..............I talked to someone.

So how is this a "trick" - just because you ask about whether you got an RFE?

Is it worth doing at all? I'm not sure I really understand the purpose of it....

Rodgiegirl when I called last week, I was told it would take several weeks. Sounds like she just wanted to give you the easy answer without checking, to get you off the phone. Hope you get approved this week. :thumbs:

Haha - well we know they're answering phones even if they aren't working! Nice of her to hang up on you - you should call again and see if you get to speak to someone else :D

Nice...so it might take up to 60 days once you are assigned? Interesting....also nice that she hung up on you...I guess they don´t get paid to answer your questions...? :blink:
