processing time

Hi tangonta
do the processing dates mentioned for local office reflect the transfer dates or the original dates of application at service center. eg for hartford, if it says april 2003 then those who were transferred before april 2003 will get interviews or all those who had applied to vsc before april 2003.
I am getting confused as I too got this honor :mad: of being transferred after being in the incubator for 2 years.

When I visited Hartford and asked them. They said transfer date. Unfair.
 
It seems to me that the cases are being dealt with as they are received into the transferred office which mine was transferred oct 31st 2003 so that is now my new RD it was good to see the jump from dec to april but calculations show that it means they are working on 1 month of cases in 1 month so mine is in october so in theory it should take 7 more months making the total waiting time 12 months which is improvement from 16months but things never work out that way with the INS so I wouldn't bank on it but who knows keep up the speed :cool:

just applied for 3rd EAD APRIL 22nd old one expires in July
haven't heard a thing or know which office lawyer has filed in
Local MP from Scotland has written to Lieberman not that it will do anything!!
 
OK we received a letter for notice of action via the lawyer telling us we have to go for our 2nd fingerprints I called the CIS and made the appointment we just applied for our 3rd EAD that must have triggered off the fact we need 2nd fingerprints but the thing I do not understand is the receipt number is MSC 04 I have read a couple of threads and one person states he asked the CIS what this mean't was he transferred to Missouri and she said no it means you are still in NYC which is his local office I am hoping this is true and that our case and not been transferred yet again anybody received a notice with MSC case info but are at HArtford ???

RD June 2002
1st EAD July 2002
1st fingerprint 24th July 2002
2nd EAD July 2003
case transferred Oct 2003
3rd EAD applied April 27th 2004
2nd fingerprint scheduled for 21st may 2004 (Friday)
is it still along wait after 2nd fingerprint?? or is this a good sign
 
Hi imawaiting

The fact that you had received a MSC # is fine,that is a normal proceed.You still going to have you interview in Hartford and your file is still there.
Now,the notice of action that you received after applied for your 3rd EAD.
Is it a "2nd Fingerprint" notice or "Biometrics" notice? (which means digital,fingerprint,photo and signature)

PS:They called me for biometrics when I applied for my 3rd EAD.I am still waiting for my 2nd FP notice.My 1st one was done more than 25 months ago.
RD:02/01/2002
ND:02/15/2002
TD:01/06/2003=from VSC to NYC
3 EADs,1 FP,no RFE.
 
Thank you for clearing that up the lawyer said fingerprints but it is the Biometrics
so is this a new thing why do biometrics more waste of time..
 
Hi

They are asking people to do that now when applying for 3rdEAD...Just to check your ID...The only thing that will be different from your last 2 EADs is that now you are going to have the prints of your finger on it.
You still need to receive a notice for 2nd FP.I am still waiting for mine.
I did that biometrics last january for my 3rd EAD and received the card in the mail 2 weeks later.Lets hope we do not have to apply for our 4th EAD!!!!!Keep your fingers crossed.

Me and MY wife got plastic cards. But Problem is they used middle initial in my wife's plastic card.
Question: How to rectify this issue with Hartford office, Any Idea ?
 
I got interview letter from Hartford local office. Its for both(myself & wife) of us. Interview letter says kids are not allowed and we have 18mths old kid. Can I request the officer to do the interview seperately so that one of us can watch the kid in the waiting area. Help needed please.
 
I heard something about that I have a 8 year old and a 18 month old I got transferred to Hartford in oct 03 and haven't heard a thing from them!! there has been a few asking about this question but no real answers have come about I think there was one person Kannel who was querying it and he may have been for his interview already he had a separate thread in the case transferred asking about it..

hi tangonta,

just have a quick question, got an email from uscis that they transferred my i485 last june 09, 2004 to hartford, ct local office after they approved my i140 last june 2, 2004,,,,, my original notice date is 08/25/2003..... but with that date showing on the processing date for hartford local office,,, which is now, may, 2003 as an update,,,,,,, is hartford processing applications based on original notice date or based on date when application was transferred? (june 09, 20045 as opposed to 08/25/2003),,, which is which?

please let me be clarrified...

thanks for the reply.

Hi edvtorres,

When I visited Hartford, they said transfer date. So now around one year waiting time. But much better than before. Waiting time was more than 14 months.
Some people have interview much earlier.
They likes unfair stuff.
Good luck to edvtorres.
