CSC, TSC, VSC and RFE

I have checked TSC and VSC threads. Does anybody know why TSC and VSC don't issue RFE for employment verification letter and just approve applications? Why only in CSC employment verification letter is valid only for one year?

Your statement about TSC is not true. There are several threads in the TSC forum where folks have been getting RFE's and getting transferred for no reason at all.

I know quite a few folks in VSC who got it without any RFEs. RFEs look more trendy in CSC than any other center.

Also the VSC approvals have picked up quite a few cases till sep/02. They are way ahead of the league. I guess they have less workload than the other service centers.

Cannot verify but remember reading on this portal that it was local policy at CSC to issue RFE to anyone whose application is pending for over 15 months, which is everyone these days. Can anyone confirm this?

Summary of CSC Liaison Meeting Held on 01-29-2003 (02-04-2003) [Top]

Many resources at the California Service Center (CSC) have been dedicated to the adjudication of TPS cases, which has a deadline of March 1, 2003. The CSC had approximately 60,000 of these cases; at the time of the meeting, only 15,000 cases remained to be adjudicated. It was therefore expected that these cases would be timely completed by the deadline of March 1, 2003. Adjudicators would then begin processing pending work permit applications (I-765s) for other categories.

Significant resources have also been detailed to the processing of pending H-1B visa petitions. The CSC indicated that extensions of H-1B visa petitions should soon be adjudicated within four months, whereas change of status cases should be processed within five months.

Adjustment Applications (I-485s)
CSC confirmed that the processing of I-485s has resumed and that notices should start to be generated within the next 2 - 4 weeks.
NOTE: The CSC has a standard operating procedure that if an I-485 has been pending for more than one year, a RFE (Request for Evidence) must be sent out to confirm that the applicant is still employed with the sponsoring organization.
 
Why does "standard operating procedure" differ from center to center? Why some people are equal but some are more equal than others.
