New York City Transfers

The Procedure.....

Hey Ash

Here's what happens


2/03/2005: Transfer of Cases from New York & DC District Offices to Service Centers

AILA has reported that the following green card cases pending at the New York and Washington D.C. District Offices have been transferred to the Service Centers to determine whether these cases could be decided without interviews. It appears that this may be a move to accelerate the processing times of the green card cases to meet the Bush's 5-year 6-month processing time commitment. Besides, the USCIS is expected to reorganize the field office structures by September 30, 2006 and a lot of changes are expected down the road. As reported earlier, there will be only two Service Centers.
10,000 EB-485 applications from New York local offices to Vermont Service Centers: These are the cases which the Vermont Service Center had transferred to the New York District for interviews. These cases are sent back to the Vermont Service Centers for potential adjudication without interviews. Some of the cases may be sent back to New York for interviews, but AILA predicts that a significant number of these cases may be finished up at the Vermont Service Center without interviews.
7,000 EB-485 applications from Washington D.C. local offices to Vermont Service Centers: The same will happen with these cases. In about 150 cases, erroneous notices have been issued that the cases had been transferred to the State Department rather than Washington, D.C., and people should ignore such notices. It was an error.
Some I-130/I-485 Immediate Relative cases and I-751 Condition Removal cases have also been transferred from New York to California Service Center.
 
hey Goankar

Good news is around the corner dude, Hope for the best. I myself like many other is tired of waiting and coming to US has lost it's charms, infact if i had applied a greencard for a country like india(third world developing country???), I am damn sure it will be sooner than this and these people claim to be super power where getting an interview is taking for ever, I don't think they are doing us any favor. well let see how long will they test our patience... hopefully it will be very close.... hang in there..

I just talked to a VSC rep. Asked questions regarding the transfer of cases but she could not answer specifically, just that they are still awaiting more detailed guidelines on what cases are approvable. she also could not indicate a timeframe of when the reviews will begin so i would not expect anything before early next year.

it would be helpful to understand what kind of cases generally get approved when the approvals begin. As well as what kind of cases are sent back to the district office.

so, guys, important to stay active on this board and post information. also helpful to check in with Vermont reps every now and then to see whether more information is available to them.

Hey Everybody

I was just searching, saw this message on a transfer to local office in boston.I think so they have the same situation as ours. I am just doing a copy paste

somne sent back to Vermnont

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm in the samne situation , first my case was sent to Boston on Sept. 14 2004 ?????? and now on Dec 5th they have it back at Vernmont Center, why?? nobody knows .... we all hope that we are going to get it faster and without interview. I pray God this is the case. What is for sure is that Boston can handle all these cases and send some back to Vermont, the bad part is that it looks that we have to wait again like we just file for. I think is just a mistake.

NO CLUES WHATS GOING ON

Regards

So close ... and yet so far

Today we went for my wife's "interview." If you recall, my file was tranferred back to VSC, but through some error, hers was left at NYC, and she was given an interview date.

It was very quick, and everybody was helpful. She explained the situation when she arrived. The woman was very understanding, and said she would call a supervisor. After 20 minutes, the supervisor came out and called us over. She apologized for the mistake, and said that the file would be sent back to VSC to be linked up with my case. We asked if we could give her the new medical to be included in the package, but she said that NYC really didn't have jurisdiction, and that we should wait until it is requested in an RFE by VSC.

We were in and out of 26 Federal Plaza in 45 minutes.

All going well, there will be no interviews, and that will be the last time we have to go to Room 800!
 
Team,

Any luck or updates! Still waiting on gud news.

Hey newyorker,

let me know.

regards,
 
Goankar,

Even my LUD had chacnged twice, first when it got transferred and second on december 01 for some unknown reason. I don't know maybe they are just playing us for nothing. I really don't think there is a movement of anything right now with our cases. Calling them is futile but will not hurt also.

The dates changed once in November and then again 12/1. The message remained the same. They did not even change it to say that the case is now in Vermont. I found out through an Infopass.
