Dear mom,

I was reading about USCIS' multi-tiered live assistance, it said: IVR, Tier 1, Tier 2, and "Callers may, at any time, request to have a call directed to a supervisor". How different is a supervisor from Tier 2? or supervisor is just the tier 2?

I' guessing here, but I would say the supervisor is just to resolve issues about the quality of the service. For example, you have a problem with their attitude or whatever.

When I worked in a call centre years ago, a few of the more experienced agents ( 6+ months!) were designated to handle "supervisor" calls. They were authorized to give small concessions to placate difficult people, but nothing meaningful. The main purpose was to make people feel that they had won the argument ;)

These "supervisors" had actual supervisors (who you could talk to in exceptional cases). Those actual supervisors had managers, and those managers answered directly to the company that we pretended to be when we answered the phone!

Don't bank on getting connected to a "supervisor" for the purpose of expediting your case. You may request to be connected to a supervisor if you wish to report a misconduct, not for typical assistance provided by front tier personnel.

A walk-in attempt is never guaranteed, nonetheless it is worth giving it a shot. It isn’t unusual for a particular ASC to deny a walk-in attempt to one person one day and allow it to someone else another day. It all depends on a number of factors such as how busy the ASC is at the time of the attempted walk, a grumpy security guard (or a nice one) at the entrance, grumpy/nice technician or supervisor, the time of the day, etc. It’s really a matter of luck.

Hi Mom,

For walk-in, we have to have a bio appointment in hand, right? or were there any cases that they tried a walk-in without receiving any bio letters from NBC?
 
My application delivered at Lockbox 0n 8th June and so far no update (No SMS or check cashed). Looking at the time line most of the applications during this time already got a response.
Following is the USPS tracking details,

wonder this has something to do with the delay?

It's been more than 3 weeks and still no response to my emails. Is there any other way to contact them? It's been 35 days since they cashed my DV fee but I have still not received any receipt yet. And that's the only thing I am waiting for right now, before submitting my AOS package.

Just FYI, it took 39 days for KCC to give any response to the email I sent them (by then I had already received my receipt), and it was pretty much a boilerplate response (See Below). I did not respond to the email, so I am not sure how much longer I would have had to wait for an emailed receipt.

Look at the britsimonsays website for information on applying using work experience. You need to have a very well prepared case to show you meet the requirements. Don’t make the mistake of thinking arriving with an employment letter and payslip is going to be enough. Some embassies even state on their websites that most of these get denied.

You still have to make it match the requirements of work experience at SVP 7+ and job zone 4/5. Not all business owners will meet this requirement no matter how long they have been in business and making money. You absolutely cannot assume owning a business for x years is enough, you have to show you meet the requirements.

Hi guys. Our first package was delivered on 5/14 and it has been 47 days with no updates whatsoever.
Following this forum's advice, we sent another package a few days ago and delivered. Wish us luck and I will update the sheet as well!

Did you mention anything about the previous package (a note or something) in your new package?.

My one is 22 days to date without any update, and I am also preparing to resend considering the limited time available.
