I just talked to a nice lady at NSC. She told me.
  • Visa number available
  • Security checks complete
  • File on shelf with thousands of other cases
  • Waiting for review by immigration officer
  • Should be reviewd within 120 days. :(
 
Again it is proved my theory: My RD is later than yours (Oct 2006) but my PD is earlier than yours ( Jan 2002), the officer told my case in under review with an immigration officer. Does NSC pick the cleared case by PD ?

I was told by my congressperson that they are going by priority date, which makes sense and is the most fair way.

I don't think they are going by PD. If they were going by PD, I wouldn't see approval for the cases with PD later than mine even though all checks are cleared. It's a random lottery....we have to be just lucky to be the winners :(
 
i think by priciple they are doing by pd. but each officer has its own speed and each case requries different rfi. so they can't be exactly finished date jan 1 then all go to date jan 2.

We don't have a big enough sample size to derive any conclusion.

From Ombudsman report:
"It is the Ombudsman’s understanding that if field offices have a workload of 1,000 cases and USCIS determines each case usually takes one hour to complete, USCIS will provide financial support for 1,000 hours. Cases that take longer than an hour to complete are not provided additional resources in the office’s budget. Offices with more than the average numbers of difficult cases or offices that try to work the difficult cases thoroughly will not be adequately funded because the number of completions will be low. Meanwhile, offices that push to complete the easy cases will see their budgets grow. One field office visited by the Ombudsman has a large number of long-pending cases which require substantial adjudicator hours. However, officers at that office indicate that they cannot address the older, difficult cases without negatively affecting their productivity report to USCIS headquarters."

IS RIGHT. they are not processing by PD's. I have PD of July01 EB3 but still no LUD nothing and there are others too of my date. so processing is random whoever lucky getting so guys its govt. office so never think they are working like this or that one can't predict.


good luck

EB3 PD July01
 
This is my theory of TSC cases only based on approvals I see until now. Approval is given based on RD with Current PD. They set a target RD and started approving cases which have ealier PD within that target RD range if everything is cleared or in other word case is ready for approval. For transfer cases from VSC to TSC , I think they had set traget RD of Dec 31, 2004. So folks within that RD with PD current got approval. But they treat TSC filed cases differently. I think for TSC filed cases they have set a late 2005 RD . So we saw approval of 2005 RD with current PD for TSC filed cases. Just a guess. No one knows what is going on behind the screen.

Is your namecheck clear? I think they are supposed to go by PD for all cleared cases. If someone has an early PD but NC is still pending, it will not be processed.

I think you said exactly right.
The transferred cases are getting a bad deal!
 
talked to NSC

I got talk to somebody in nsc. i'm sure of Nsc because
the autovoice prompt told me that its being transferred to NSC
They took my A# and case no and looked
in the system and said that its pending. She
said she cannot give me any other information
since she does not have any access. I asked
where exactly my file, and she said its somewhere
in the process line somewhere inside the building.

I asked how many people work in nsc and she said
that about 500 people work there. So the call was
pretty much useless.

sbabunle,

I think it's useless to talk to the NSC Customer Reps over the phone. They will just read your onlise status to you and provide nothing else :confused: . Take Infopass and go there to find out the real status.

thank you for copy/pasting from the report - I've read this before.

However, ,my original response was to the question whether NSC is processing cases based on RD or PD.

IMO, there is nothing in that passage that addresses this in any way.

It addresses that passage. The processing is not based on dates, it's based on how easy is case. Of course I'm talking about cases with current PD.
