Is it possible to call directly to TSC and get hold of the officers who actually are holding things up rather than talking to these middleman baboons.

Iam still waiting for to find out this directors email address : director of TSC David L. Roark

If I guess will it be David. Roark@dhs.gov ?

These dudes have gone completely clue less. ?. They are approving May june july august and even December's while there are still February's waiting.

Please correct this unfairness.

Is the current director of TSC David l. Roark ?, does anybody know his email?

Could previous marriage and divorce be a reason for delay? Or having petitioned for a spouse previously could be a reason for additional checks? Just wondering and don't understand why a small number of petitions from Jan, Feb and March are being held up or by passed........ What could be the reason, because if USCIS needs any additional information they easily send out an RFE and get what is needed.... Just don't understand......

It is possible, we can make a separate google doc for STILL NOT APPROVED February+March+April in one sheet and add columns with " previous divorce" and another relevant details

This is NEW packet iv from jan 2014 onwards.

Hello Everyone there,

I am beneficiary and I am an indian living and working in singapore, so where should I apply for police clearance, and if I apply now how long is it valid??

Thanks

PCC from Passport office is required and not from local offices, it does not matter whether you lived in several places in India. One PCC from passport office is what needed.

I see you are at almost 11 months #######!!!!! s there ANY reason for this? what are USCIS doing, almost 40% of VJ Juky filers have been approved and even 2 August!

We March and April filers are in a very bad situation, USCIS has decided to severely punish us, and our mistake was we filed during these months.

Im 29 april 2013 filter and still no aproval yet,my case been transfered to CSC on 3rd december and still no news

yet.... soo sad....

who did get aproved from April and May filters?

it is really no fair waiting for 9 months for an aproval

Below is the link

What you are telling me is that the press release that I got, as well as the supplemental letter stating my case would be processed within 60 days were all lies? This certainly constitutes a further delay in my case, if I'm expected to wait a further 5 months. 5 months is the target processing time of the USCIS for a stand-alone I130 case for a spouse. You are telling me that I'm actually expected to wait close to 15 months for you to process my case? The National Average processing time is now 8.9 months, which I am past, and the Processing date at your service center is now March 20. My priority date is March 19. I am therefore outside of normal processing times. You have had my case for 310 days. If my case needed additional processing, you have already had ample time to complete it.

Claiming that my case is under extended review because you have failed to process it in the 10 months you as an agency have had it is unconscionable. I can see in my case update that my case has not even been looked at since ____________. I will be contacting my Congressman and Senators and the Ombudsman, as well as Service Center HQ regarding this. And I will continue to escalate this matter as necessary until you process my case, as you should have done months ago.

I hope that you understand my position on this matter. This is my Husband/Wife and our future life together. You must understand that any further delays are entirely unacceptable, and I will do whatever I have to do to get you to finish processing my case. My Husband/Wife is important. Our lives are important. And I will continue to fight for that.

Sincerely,

=======================

FEEL AS IF TSC HAS FORGOTTEN US. ..

INSULT TO THE INJURY, WE ARE MADE TO WATCH JULY PRIORITY GETTING APPROVED IN FRONT OF US JUMPING THE LINE. .....DISGUSTING IS LESS WORD TO DESCRIBE IT.

#Attached image are those people who have been left out by TSC without approval according to the excel sheet.

Statistics for MAY filers:

CSC APPROVALS PERCENTAGE = 80

TSC APPROVAL PERCENTAGE = 32

NSC APPROVALS PERCENTAGE = 17

TSC APPROVAL : out of 19 petitions 6 got approved at

Can you please update your TIMELINES

Were you transferred to TSC?

When

Did you get RFE ? When & why

You'll have to file as: married filing separately.

You cannot file as single , because you are married before December 2013....

I know exactly the same situation that you are going through right now. I became married myself in Cairo, Egypt back in May 2013. I went in person to an IRS office and the gentleman advised me that we shall file single status in the present time. When our husbands arive, we will ask for an amendment to our filing status to change it from single to married status. That was the advice of the Sacramento, California office.

Looks like the advice you received was wrong.

I checked MSC139096xxxx near by mine and I found all kinds of stuff , people issued RFE on 21st Jan,

Some approved in as early as Nov 2013, some still not even transferred showing 9 April as initial filing date.

It's crazy. It's total chaos.

Here we see July folks are getting approved already. To meet/showoff the official timelines of 5 months for graphs that will be displayed on USCIS Web site.

jULY FILERS ARE BEING APPROVED ( WITH IN 6 MONTHS PERIOD ). APRIL FILERS ARE WAITING FOR 9+ MONTHS. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

EVERY ONE IS FRUSTRATED AND LOST THEIR PATIENCE. THIS IS THE POLICY OF USCIS? THIS IS THE WAY OBAMA IS RUNNING THE GOVT.??

BULLSHIT!!!!!

We all know who to vote next time.

My spouse works in foreign and has foreign income and had SSN because used to live in USA few years back.

We want to to check which option yields lower taxes: Mfj or Mfs and go for that,

My question is 1) I have my mother as my dependent in USA. Can I file as HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD ?

2)Can we use turbotax

3) and put USA address , even though foreign spouse does not live in USA.

Just for fun:

I was reading the news about baboons, how they mysteriously started behaving differently,

But i am not saying we can get clues why our i130 petitions are pending mysteriously.

Can your confirm that no need to report income from foreign land for married filing jointly?

The sensible thing to do is to caclulate your taxes both as Married seaprate and married joint and file whichever one results in the lowest taxes. If you were married at any point up to Dec 31, 2013, you are considerd married for the whole taxable year. SHe does not have to live with you to qualify.

If you do joint, she will need a Socail Security number. And she will have to report any US income but not income from her native land or any other country on the return.

Can your confirm that no need to report income from foreign land for married filing jointly?

I checked the option of e request and it doesn't have option for pending i130 , which option did you select.

Good morning and thank you GAFL. Compared to you, what I did is insignificant. I just sent them three e-mails so far; one e-mail to ncscfollowup.nsc@dhs.gov and one e-mail to nscfollowup.nsc@dhs.gov, both were sent on 28 December, 2013. Third e-mail was sent to NSCFollowup.NCSC@USCIS.dhs.gov on January 14. Then, I put in the e-request on January 6; that's all. I am limited by their policy of not allowing the beneficiary to put in a service request, else I would have done that long back as my husband and attorney were unwilling to put in one. My husband did ask me to be patient and I did tell him I already have been patient for almost a year, how much more. I thought senators and congressmen could help in some cases but a service request and contacting the ombudsman definitely helped, but your case proves even that doesn't help.

They did complete 101 petitions in Dec 2011 but that from that point they started going down and down & were only able to complete 9 petitions in entire month of May 2013

Should they not be getting in to guinness book of world records on such an achievement

Not to put fuel on the fire but I found it very interesting how many petitions TSC completes in a month for the past 2 years..

I am all in to it. Let's get LOUD. before they change 60 days to 180.

Just thinking out loud here regarding the 60 day supplemental notices that were sent out.

We know Tier 1 and Tier 2, given day and time, their mood will give a different answer. The fact remains they sent written notices out saying they have to process within 60 days and this was part of their effort to reduce workloads and process faster. We also are seeing that emailing the individual service centers does nothing especially when there is no service request number which of course you can't get because Tier 1 and 2 go by the Feb 13 processing dates...So was wondering if there could be a mass effort to complain from those pending 60 days or more....

I am wondering if we can email SCOPSSCATA@dhs.org collectively stating the following: This is the email addy mentioned on USCIS if you can't get a response from the service center...

Dear Sir/Madam,

My I130 case (Receipt Number -------) was transferred to ____ (Name of service center) on __________ (date). I received a supplemental notice with my transfer stating that due to USCIS diligent efforts to reduce processing times, the case was transferred and USCIS will process within 60 days and I would hear something. I request that my case be looked into as it has been pending for _____ days.

I understand the requirement is to have a service request number by having called the National Customer Service and having placed a service request. I was unable to do so as Tier 1 and Tier 2 representatives refuse to place one stating the case is outside processing time of Feb 13, 2013. This is unacceptable as it's double standards on part of USCIS. If USCIS is allowed to go by it's written information stated on it's website stating they are processing Feb 13, 2013 or before petitions (which by the way I disagree with), then we, the stakeholders, are also allowed to go by USCIS's written notice stating that our transferred case is to receive some processing within 60 days.

I urge you to look into this matter at your earliest. It is unacceptable that cases are pending for so long when the national average time when we filed was stated to be 6 months.

Sincerely,

-----

I thought the same, but my wife was about to faint afer hearing that recorded message, she took it seriously and could not imagine that people like USCIS can also lie.

I pacified her that many are getting approved on VJ and we are probably up next. Was else could I do. When I told USCIS is lying on that recorded message she could Not belive me.

It's the same standard ####### message that many people have reported getting!!! So no surprises there......

Wow wow can't belive this, Today I called their phone number and after entering my receipt number the general recording said that " your petition had been transferred and it will take 180 days from date of transfer to process"
