My NIW petition is pending at TSC since Jan 12, 2007. The last LUD was on Jan 18th. Nothing after that. The USCIS website says they ware processing cases with receipt date of Jan 13th 2007 but I still see people on trackitt with cases pending with receipt dates in Nov 2006 and Dec 2006. How long is it really taking to get a decision on a NIW petition from TSC? Aren't you allowed to call TSC and let them know if your case is 30 days out of their processing dates?

Has anyone with receipt date in Jan 2007 heard back from TSC?

Thanks

yes brewtus, I was also wondering when I see people with PD 2006 still hanging with their cases! Why they don't bother to call/get a infopass appointment at TSC/NSC? ...I have no idea ... I see, your case also in the processing time limit ! please keep us posted with any updates .. good luck !
 
If I understand it correctly, the TSC processing time means they are within their projected time frame (6 months or less; latest updated on 7/16/2007 - now processing cases with receipt date of Jan 13th 2007 = 6 months). So, wait two more weeks, and call them (by then your case will be 30 days outside their time frame). I too am puzzled by those old cases on trackitt.com; in fact, I did a quick statistics on TSC NIW cases, and it turned out about half of the cases are older than 180 days now. :eek: I really hope it is not the general trend....maybe those people got stuck in name check? (yes, name check on I-140 did occur)
 
I have a pd of 14nov2006 at TSC with LUD on 17Nov2006.
No change in status after that.
Started a service request on 18July2007. They asked to wait for 45 days.
if still no processing then no other choice but to start another service request which goes for another 45 days and if still no response then I think at the third service request the case is adjudicated to a higher authority for immediate action. i read this somewhere in the forum. It would be great if somebody can let us know if this is how the service requests are handled.
Not sure why TSC has slowed down for EB2-NIW cases.
 
Hi Mougc,

How did you start a service request? Call customer service number or infopass?

Thanks
 
You should see EB2-NIW cases at NSC... They have not yet started processing cases as old as June 2006!:mad:
 
Jerist ... have you initiated a service center request for beyond processing time.

Do you know if these service center request helps anybody or is it just of theoretical interest and doesnot go anywhere??
 
I cannot yet issue a service request the reason being is that the posted processing dates for NSC is Aug 2006. My case was submitted in Oct 2006. Hence, I cannot do much about it.

I think service request is supposed to be answered and honored. I hope that I do not have to do that. But some members of this forum managed to do that, and got some feedback like for example that there I-140s are stuck for due to some background checks (not necessarily security checks).
 
madmonkey,

You are right... and this is of course very frustrating particularly that we are not allowed to upgrade to premium processing fo EB2-NIW cases.
 
JesIst:

Yes, I did. September 2006, NSC. My attorney advised against premium processing EA because of the rather large number of RFEs they send out. In Oct 2006, I applied for NIW. This month, I submitted 485 also with both recipt notices attached - hoping atleast one of them be favourably adjudicated.:)

It would be nice if more people can put their EA/NIW info on TrackItt.com - seems like the EA/NIW info there has remained static for a while.

hi Mougc

My colleague at work applied NIW at TSC in Novemeber 2006. He got an RFE in April and approval in July 2007.

Madmonkey and JerIst:

What do you think is happening with NIW cases? Why aren't they processing them per the advertised processing dates? Any clues?

There was an LUD on my case on 08/05 but every case had at TSC had an LUD on 08/05, so it doen't mean anything.
 
Brewtus:

My attorney told me that it typicall takes 30 to 60 days after the day USCIS's processing date has crossed your recipt date. I didnt belive that at first, but here is my story!

My EA petition had a recipt date of 9/2006. In June 2007, USCIS's processing date for EA petitions crossed by recipt date and so I was quite excited. Then came July and now August and I am still waiting - and now actually do believe what my attorney says!

I called USCIS and found out that only after the official processing date has exceeded my recipt date by 30 days, they can expedite the case. But the catch here is that USCIS can take 1 day, 10 days or even 100 days to advance processing date by 30 days! And so, I found out the hard way that in the last 2 months, EA 140 processing dates have advanced by a mere 20 days.

The same is true for NIWs also.

To add to all this, there is the luck of the draw. Another guy who used the same attorney had his EA at NSC in 9/2006. He got an RFE in March and an approval in June!!!! Why did his get the expedited treatment, and not mine???????

hi madmonkey,

what do you mean by expediting your I-140 prcessing after 30 days and how do you know EA I-140 increased by 20 days. How do I find this for TSC?

I had a pd of nov 2006 and now in TSC it is Jan 2007. So I called the customer service and started a service request and they asked to wait for 45 days if still no change in I-140 status then place another service request which goes on for another 45 days and if still no processing then at the third service request the case is assigned to soimebody higher who acts on it asap. Is this process true ???
