New Filers: Tracking Receipt Notices from TSC

Hi All,

We have a lot of threads that are tracking approvals for those who had filed before retrogression and are now just awaiting adjudication.

Some of us file directly with TSC since our I-140 was processed by TSC.

I'm starting this thread to keep track of whether TSC has a "frontlog" problem as reported on Matthew Oh's site. Please do let me know if there is already a thread dedicated to this.

Please post the date your forms were sent to TSC and what your receipt dates is and when you get your receipt notice.

Thanks,
Setmefree

Mine I140 PP apporved in May 2007 last month from TSC and I485 is filed and application reached on May 31st. Lawyer filed it. My thinking is as per the I485 form you send it to NE (NSC) address. But you mentioned filed to TSC. Can you file directly to TSC. I am not sure where my application is filed NE address or Texas.

My attorney sent my forms to TSC on June 6, 2007. Tick tock tick tock till I get the receipt notice. Others who have filed at TSC have got a receipt notice back so clearly they are accepting files there if the I-140 was worked up there.

If you read http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/BiSpec_063006FS.pdf you'll see that there is a line on page 2 that specifically says "Until further notice, USCIS will not reject applications or petitions filed at an incorrect Service Center. Instead, USCIS will accept the filing, redirect it to the correct location, and honor the initial receipt date."

So if you already know that your I-485 will be adjudicated by the service center where your I-140 was processed, you just save some processing time by sending it there. See also Matthew Oh's May 14, 2007 post in which he says that USCIS may try to accelerate bi-specialization phase III in order to avoid sending massive numbers of files from the central NSC location to the locations where the I-140 processing was done (e.g: TSC).
