This is the most likely answer. However, if we suddenly start seeing lots of CSC post September approvals i.e. cases from 2017, it may be turn out to be true.

 

I've just managed to book an Mis-Infopass for a fortnights time. I'll be sure to get some misinformation about this while I'm there! lol

Saw your post, went to see available appointments without any expectations, and booked one! Well i hope at local office they will be able to see where the case located at for sure

Yeah but in the past I believe that they have transferred from say CSC to VSC, ie major service centres, and not to applicants local offices which are slammed as it is.

Exactly! Transfers used to happen in between cervice centers, not local offices.

And note: CSC AND(!) NSC applicants reporting the same status

Definetely NOT BOTH centers decided to transfer tons of cases to local offices to catch up on numbers.

I think its the new inner policy of mandatory interviews which ive been told during info pass

Doubtful. Not enough staff, The local offices only interview a percentage of the cases sent to them. They just authorize the rest. 

Hopefully so. Still a concert for a people from big cities as its not even trackable from this point when your case will land in a hands of the officer.

Yeah, we are all going to have a group interview, and half of the people of the 3rd round get to stay in the country lol.

Glad you found it funny.

 But have  you read an updated USICS mission statement and following discussion about it ? Or have you, among many others, been told during i 551 stamping that ALL i 751 woukd require an intervew? I did both, and being an individual who tends to think and analize the information, i dont see how my question is irrational.

What was the extension letter application number for? Previously redundant, up until now. Something is definitely going on.

Everyone is going for an interview?

I already did, and says validation error. If you look at the letter, it says "upon receipt of your ASC appointment notice... you can find your application number at the top of the ASC appointment notice"

 

It also claims you need to look for CRI89 not i751. You guys are looking at the wrong receipt number. 

That means your case was not transfered. Or not yet

Hi there! My case got transered to local office too!

From what i learned, they do workload tranfers in between CERVICE centers, but if it goes to local office it means its going to be scheduled for an interview.

Correct me if im wrong.

Now local offices have to find time to fit in i 751 cases for interviews, who knows how long that would take. Probably a good news for ppl from small towns, but LA Miami NYC im scared to even think how much that would prolong the process. I thought waiting at CSC is bad ebough, but this...

Hi guys! I created a thread here some time ago asking how to switch petition from joint to waiver while i 751 is pending and got a very helpful advices and currently filing for a divorce. By VJ estimates, i have about 4-5-6 months to go so i have not sent anything to USICS just yet as im decided to wait for a divorce decree first (pretty quick in my state) . Meanwhile 2 months ago i purchased tickets to my home couty to see my family and got 551 stamp for that purpose . Now, when i have a few days prior my depurture, i started to have a terrible anxiety because im in total limbo with my filing status. At the top of that, my soon to be ex spouse just posted something spiteful just to hurt me i guess. Now im extremely worry about my travel because of this complex situation im in now. Lawyer told me if ill wait for a final divorce decree and send amendment and decree all together then its better chance not to get RFE as they would already have all needed documents.  But

- Is it safe to travel considering these factors?

- What are the chances not to be allowed back even though we still technically married until the hearing which goint to happen after my return?

-If ill do face troubles getting back because my marriage on its final stages, yet we filled joint over a year ago, will i have a right still to be admitted and have a hearing with an immigration judge?

- Or its just me overthinking things? And my petition is just sitting tight at the shelf waiting for its turn and meanwhile its totally fine to travel on 551 stamp no matter the current odds?  In fact im trying to do a right thing and moving on with divorce so my petition gets adjudicated based on thruth.

Its been a VERY stressful past half a year when things got sour and now my anxiety is gettining a little out of control to the point im started to consider meds to help with it.  I really want to go to spend time with my family, but very concerned now and dont want to tourture myself and others by thinking about it.

Please share your thoughts?

Being called for an interview despite interview-waiver eligibility is not uncommon.

DoS has nothing to do with CPR status.

Guys, you made my day! Thank you

Hi! Glad i found this forum. I have unusual situation and looking for a help.

I got H1B visa in 2011 and a year after the Embassy sent me an email saying visa is revoked. No reasons given.

Contacted Senator, some time later the Embassy gave him an answer that consular officer had a concerns about the visa ( not specified what type of concerns), however the petition is still valid and my status was not affected by such revocation, however i need to apply again for visa if travel. I was extremely anxious and spent long nights up guessing what it might be ( i have not violated any visa terms, stayed with the same employer, but did had a minor misdemeanor charge which got dismissed with not guilty plea) Lawyer i went to highly doubted that is the reason for revocation as the charge was totally dismissed and its not an issue in terms of  immigration law, so until this day its a mystery.

About a year later i proposed my USC girlfriend at that time, and we got married in 2013, filed for Adjustment of Status, which was approved without any issue.

After i got a green card, my family back in Ukraine applied for a tourist visa to visit us, in the visa application they mentioned me as a relative living in US. During their interview consular officer asked them which status do i have and they told them i have a marriage based green card. Visa was approved and they traveled to visit us 2 times during the 3 year period of their visa , each time for 2 weeks, never overstayed or worked in US.  

Now, im curently in ROC process and got i 551 stamp ( after extention letter expired) and was planning to go to Ukraine for vacation with my spouse.  

At the same time, my parents 3 year tourist visa came to the end and they applied for another one. Based on consular proceedings at Ukraine, if they apply for another tourist visa prior expiration of the previous one, the interview is waived if the life situations have not changed during these 3 years. However they just got responce from Embassy that they need to come in for an interview. It VERY not common and only happens if signigicant life changes happened after filing for a previous visa. I can only blame it to my visa revocation but oh well, they only will find it out on actual interview.

Now i was planning to go to visit my old grandma back in Ukraine, but the fact that my parents got interview notice at Embassy totally triggered anxiety and panic attacks i experienced when revocation took a place.

Now my huge concerns i cant stop thinking about:

1)Can Department Of State  revoke a residency?

2)  If the Embassy was going through my paretns visa application and bumped into my visa revovation for the reason only they know, can they also revoke my temporary residency ( as im in ROC now)?

 2) in USICS manual it says if the visa was revoked, the information about it is entered to CLASS and sent to all carriers to prohibit boarding. Is this relared to residency as well ( as it an immigrant visa)?

Can i possibly face troubles coming back home in US on my i 551 stamp because of that previous issue? Even thoiugh i got AOS and my parents were approved for a tourist vide AFTER the revocation took place, im still bounced back to the stress level i went through yers ago and worry about any travel.

Please help
