Topic: Called IO Today And Here's My Story

I completely agree with you guys.
However I disagree with a comment that New York would do better. In the past I had the opportunity to witness a behavior by the (back then) INS officers that I really did not like. There were some Asian and probably African (or Haitian) people treated really disrespectfully. It was disgusting. I was in a suit and tie and spoke clean English so I was treated differently (or at least I thought). I was not yelled at and kicked around. I saw very similar behavior in Miami office. The officers were ‘diversified’ so race had nothing to do with it. It is the lack of the complaint enforcement and the fact that the immigrants are treated as second class human being (not by all I must mention).
On the other hand this is also a reality:
Please do not be upset or offended by this.
The phenomenon is not unique to the USA. It is happening in any other country around the world.
For example: I participated on the Ombudsman conference call few months ago. While some people spoke really clean and you could understand (even with an accent), some had English that I, as well as the panel could not understand. Furthermore, the more they try to ask to clarify the question, the more where the people stressed out, the worst it got. Now imagine dealing with this all day. You have to listen over the phone to very frustrated folks that try to get answer from you and you cannot give it (for what ever reason) and many times you cannot even understand. Here is where the bad part comes: you did not create the mess, you just have a job… and you probably frustrated too. It is pretty clear from your and mine phoning experience that the phone answerers are more helpful when they hear clear English. There may perhaps be also some level of jealousy too (seeing how mush you make comparing to them). I can tell you that before I spoke English and tried to say something and could not express myself, I had a feeling that people though that I am stupid because I could not say what I meant…
If you decide to call, keep that in mind.
Again, before you kill me for this post, simply think how would it be back home.

Topic: TX Service center introduces streamline procedure


so, will I benefit from this new procedure?
my PD is 4/03 ,but RD 8/07.........




I think that you your USCIS Notice Date is 19 Oct 2007.
That means that the processing timesframe is not close to yours, hence you should not be benefiting.
See my post earlier.
I really hope that I am wrong on this...

Topic: TX Service center introduces streamline procedure

Question:
Read first:
"The processing dates shown below represent the receipt dates of petitions and applications currently being processed by the USCIS Service Center. If the receipt date shown on your receipt notice is prior to the processing date shown below, you may call USCIS Customer Service at 1-800-375-5283."

That means "Receipt Notice from the center" is the official USCIS notice. In my case it is the 9/2007. Tha would be the actual receipt when they got it via FedEx was in July/07 however the official notice was in September. The current processing time frame is July 27/ 07 hence I do not qualify for the email streamline?

Topic: Biometrics appointment notice

You will be photographed and they will take your finger prints electronically. Bring all ID along. The process itself should take approximately 10-15 minutes. However the wait time before you are being processed may increase the overall time. No big deal at all.
