Filing an SR is good as it will show up hopefully on some dashboard about the inefficiency in the TX center. I doubt if it will help trigger an RFE as the SR is for an exception but in the case of TX service center it seems to be a norm. Lets hope things move sometime soon.

The one key point that he mentioned to me is that each time an SR is raised, it seems the file is moved from one officer to another officer and goes to the bottom of the new pile of files. So the congressman's office advised him to not raise multiple SR's there by risking every time going to the bottom of a new pile. Just heard about it couple of days back. Others may have better experience.

That is an interesting viewpoint. So is a Congressperson / Senator enquiry treated as a service request? I would think USCIS would have dedicated liaisons that work with United States Congress.
So should we reach our local representative/senator and raise a SR at the same time or do them one after another?

Just use one of them, don't use both congress-man/senator at the same time, or one after the another!

My USPS informed delivery shows to letters today. I don't think I had this much anticipation anxiety of an unknown before.

good luck Aceman! don't be anxious - you are half way there.

i hate it when informed delivery letters get delayed and get delivered the next day ;-p For example Saturday letters that you see in emails may not always be delivered on Saturay but on Monday. Initially I thought it was RFE from TSC but turned out to be receipt notice for the supplement J that I submitted proactively :-(

Please do update us the very moment you open the letter. We all are waiting anxiously for your update :-)

318, I did not have my name registered when I was born. I will have to research and find out what my response to correct my situation here.

I have valid BC, it does not have my name.

The official site also returns Name not registered for my bC.

I have a birth certificate which I can see online as well when I add my mothers name. Not sure I will get the Non availability of birth certificate.

I just got a notification which seems like a second RFE on Supp J. Havent received the letter yet, so dont know the details. Has anyone experienced that? Any tips?

nsc. 2012.

Hi friends my PD is 2010 Feb no status changed yet

Have a couple questions hoping someone can help answer
My PD is Jun 2010 EB2I - current in May 2021 VB
Our applications were sent to MSC (National Benefits Center - Kansas City). Applied in Oct 2020 and included medicals.
1. Do applications get transferred to another services center - TSC or NSC for I-485 approvals? Or does MSC also approve I485 and issue GC's?
2. Since we had already submitted medicals in October along with the application package should we expect any RFE? I also received our SuppJ receipt sometimes in March.

Thanks!

Ak & Ace, Here's recap:

1st attempt:
Opened a SR with TSC in Mar 1st week, that got closed without providing any timeframe. Case needs special something.

2nd attempt:
Congressman request. Came with a reply of PD not current.

3rd attempt:
Congressman opened request again. Got a reply after 25 days. TSC replied that my 60 day window for an action starts today. Had they started the 60 day clock on March 1st week, I would have gotten a RFE by now.

4th attempt:
I have asked my HR to send a request to attorney to call USCIS. Lets see how that goes.

Don't know how many more attempts that I need to push the file through in TSC. I feel defeated for today.

I am so sorry to hear that but I am sure you are getting closer and closer by the day. Have you thought about sending medicals and 485J through interfiling?

Hang in there ! We are all together in this.
I am in a similar situation, my congressman request is pending for a couple of weeks now.
After being frustrated at no change, I submitted a SR on my own. Just after I had done it, my lawyers sent me a note that they had reached out to USCIS on my behalf !
I am maintaining my own lawyers when I invoked AC21 in 2012 to change jobs.
Adding to all this is my EAD/AP renewals are pending with TSC.
I just hope that one of these arrows hit the mark and TSC picks up my file !

Longtime follower of this forum. Received RFE email yesterday for the very first time since 2012. EB2I - TSC - PD Nov 1st 2009. Opened an online SR first week of March 2021 and got a very unhelpful status update that they have reviewed the status of my case and found that it remains under active examination.

Idli, Remember Rocky 3, withstand anything and everything thrown at us. The only thing I can offer you is a toast about this in 2023, during our first Q members get together, provided the boss is open for it.

Hang in there Idliman .. I am in the same boat and been current for a 5-6 months now. I got the RFE, but the response got delayed due to various USICS/lawyer/doctor snafus and now finally, my spouse's RFE status didn't get updated at all despite it being a month since USCIS received it. And of course, radio silence all over again from TSC. At this point, to keep my sanity I have reduced my forum checks to once a week or so. Also, lawyer is prepping for yet another H1B renewal in a couple of months .. coz, who knows eh?

Idli,

Don't lose heart. One of these days, you are going to see the RFE issued message on your online status suddenly out of nowhere. Give serendipity a chance!

agree with all. Hang in there. Life is more valuable than this to get defeated for (especially looking at the madness that is going on in India now with people not even having oxygen..)...
