I just wrote to Representative Sue Myrick and I am going to write to Senator Elizabeth Dole about this matter. It would be very helpful if more people could join me explaining to them that we are law-abiding people with US citizen spouses willing to vote. Remember that Senator Dole is running for re-election.

I just received a voicemail from the USCIS staff member regarding my previous posted question. She indicated that the decision to switch over the cases to Raleigh on April 26th came from headquarters and was based on processing goals and staffing.
This response doesn't really address the issue I brought forward as new cases are being sent to the Raleigh office while older cases are still being held by Charlotte. Perhaps Raleigh isn't at full staff yet and they are implementing a shift of cases to Raleigh in phases. Let's hope that is the case.

Bob - Those of us from the RTP area who have been in the queue since July hope so too! Otherwise it would be like the maddening situation in supermarkets where you've been in a slow-moving queue for a long time, then they open another till and folks from the back peel off to go to the new one to be served before you!
fbanna79's case illustrates this nicely:
1. Application Sent 03/28/2008
2. Application Received 04/01/2008
3. Check Cashed 04/03/2008
4. NOA Received 04/12/2008
5. Notification Fingerprint Received 04/17/2008
6. Fingerprints Scheduled 04/25/2008
7. Fingerprints Cleared 04/25/2008
8. Notice Interview Received 05/05/2008
9. Interview Date 06/19/2008 (07: 45 AM Durham)
10.Oath May be same day
Typical USCIS...
I once read somewhere that Raleigh staff volume is supposed to match Charlotte's staff volume (~35 agents) so you'd think there would be more cases transfered to Raleigh than the 126 since April 26th, unless of course they aren't at full staff yet..the wait continues...

Raleigh DO now appears on Infopass system
Hopefully that is a sign that the Raleigh office staff is gearing up to full capacity and we will start seeing old cases being handled by the new office.
Charlotte NC is the worst in the country now
I just called USCIS and spoke to an IO (I guess!!!). She mentioned that Charlotte is currently processing Apr/May 2007 cases Also, when I asked about transferring my case to Raleigh/Durham DO, she is not sure if that will be done. She also mentioned that Name Check, Finger print check and whatever background check all are clear for me.

The IO I spoke to today also referred to the Charlotte processing timeline. I had to remind her that a new DO is open in NC and that I am covered by that DO. No one in USICS seems to be able to give a straight answer as to if older cases will be transfered to Raleigh. My suspicion is that older files (pre March 2008) are somehow linked to the Charlotte DO at the Texas service center and that the Texas service center would need to relink them to Raleigh in order to ensure they are processed by Raleigh. Until that gets, only newer cases will be handled by Raleigh.I just called USCIS and spoke to an IO (I guess!!!). She mentioned that Charlotte is currently processing Apr/May 2007 cases

I doubt IOs at Raleigh are in the loop anymore than IOs over the phone since they are the last to know on how USCIS headquarters make decisions.

thanks bobsmyth. did they tell you anything about name check status ?
I guess Raleigh DO is slow. may be you are not stuck in name check.
I've been previously told by IOs on the phone that my name check cleared Jan 30..a few days after I took my FP and that I'm in queue for an interview.
USCIS has been unable to confirm if cases previously linked to Charlotte and that now fall under the Raleigh DO service will be redirected to Raleigh by TSC.
When I tried to book Infopass today for Raleigh location it shows followng message on Infopass website:
At this time, there are no information appointments available for the office in your area. Please try back again later.
Just 2 days ago they were wide open with available slots for the next 2 weeks.
When I called USCIS and spoke to an IO today and told them there must be a glitch in system since no dates are available, the IO told me it's no glitch and that it means no appointments are available. When I told IO I find that hard to believe since 2 days ago there were plenty available the IO wouldn't budge on their answer. Over and over again I find myself questioning the unsound answers of the IOs..I really doubt that in 2 days that over 200 appointment slots could be filled for a new DO while Charlotte still has plenty slots for the same time period.
Honestly, I think it would be a waste of time since the IO wouldn't be able to tell me anything I haven't already heard
before.
Btw, how many days until interview does it say on your NOA?

Goes to show how much the IOs know about processing times and that they can't predict them.
