Guys
I talked to CSC IIO today morning….I am giving exact details on how I handled it verbatim….
The reason I called first was to enquire whether my cousin who is bedridden can go for stamping after 2 months…We don’t want to delay it and his FPs are old now…In the process I thought I will enquire about my EAD , 485 and FP status…
Called the CSC phone number at 9 am ..after 4-5 redials I got to the AVM system …( lucky me !!)
As always my and wifes 485 and ead wac was not located and my cousins 485 was approved…The time was 9.09 am when I hit the
0 key for a IIO…….I got the message “all reps are servicing other customers etc……” …I just patiently waited waited and waited …
I was on hold till 9.58 am when finally a ladys voice came up on the other end… Remember my phone has earset plug and I have a
ATT Handfree mike for my phone..so holding phone for almost 1 hr was no problem…The IIO sounded south America….
