please post your experience on calling the CSC emergency number

For me they said my case was stuck in name check.This is the first time I was told about this.So I think this phone number folks give more details.

I called the emergency nubmer three times. When I called first I was said by the woman who was kind. She told me that I have to wait 60 days and my case is still open.

When I called secondly, the representative was not kind. She said, "This is emergency line. Call the customer service center." She had not good attitude. Last three months I have made three inquries but I have not received any response from CSC. This is a kind of emergency case....

Today I called again. I was told as I have to wait. That's it.

Many cases field in 2004 have been approved, but the casese of 2002 and 2003 have not been touched. It is really unfair. This is a kind of lawsuit case.

Did you call the emergency number?
 
My LUD changed on Nov 18 and the case was missing from the system since then, so I called the emergency number today to find out whats going on...

the lady was nice and she went through the case on the system and said, my FP is OK, name check came ok.. everything is ready for adjudication, but they sent one letter ( she could not figur out what it was) which has came back or something.... she was not sure.. she needed a week time to call the file and check. she asked to call back in a week.

meanwhile, I got a call from my friend, whose address is my correspondence address at USCIS saying he got a letter from USCIS saying they have a new address in file and they asked me to file AR-11.

this possibility could have happened only when I sent a senator enquiry, I put my current address, where as all these time I was using my friend's (citizen) address.

After couple of hours, I called again and asked for the same lady and spoke to her and explained about the letter I received (address change) and explained to my situation, she said she would call for that file and call me back. she took my numbers. she advised me to hold on to the letter till she speak to me again. will anyone would do that extent?

I tried calling the emergency number twice today to know what is going on with my case.
First time a lady said, we dont give status like that, you will have to fax us for an inquiry.
Second time another lady said, this number is for emergency only (was a little rude).
 
Would you normally see LUD changes after you call the emergency number? If so how long? Thanks!

Called emergency line today

Today I called CSC emergency line and the lady looked into my case and uttered the magic words "your I-485 has been approved yesterday". But I don't see any LUD/status changes in online and in phone system. Don't know whether to believe her words!

Any ideas whether it could be true?

2nd FP: 2/15
LUD: 2/23 saying FP received and processing resumed.

yes, usually after 2 to 3 days you will see the LUD change.

Thanks. I guess that was it then. I had a LUD change was hoping it was not related to the call :(
 
Stupid Question

When you call them up do you ask about the status on the 140 or the 485. I asked for the status of 140 and was kicked out. I am thinking of calling again and asking about the 485

Thanks

I just asked them if my name check was cleared and they told me no. I am sure you can ask them about your status. Good luck.
 
name check cleared

I called them up again today... and asked if the name check was cleared...she said that the name check on my application was cleared and they are processing the Aug 2nd applications...

Good news for you. You could get approved soon. You are much luckier than me/lots of us :)

Well I hope so too and good luck to you.

BTW what does your signature mean? I couldn't figure it out

I just got bored so I played with my sig. I was just saying although I understand checking my case status online time and time again won't change a thing about the fact it's forever pending, I keep doing it. something stupid I do, among others :D
