Official 2016 Renewal Thread - Page 358

Just had a meeting with the dean of faculty of the college where I work... next thursday is my last day. They will hire me back as soon as I have any sort of notice that my EAD was approved, but until then, I am actually terminated and although the re-hire process is simple, I'll have to go through it.

133 days and not biometrics...

On a brighter note, I called the USCIS Customer Svc Center, and asked for the "ELIS helpdesk" (the lady pronounced it as E-LISS), was transferred and within 2 minutes had my access code to view my case details online. It shows nothing's happened since 4/20, but at least I can see it.

On these e-requests I did, I just noticed that my most recent one ends in VSC unlike the previous ones.
Does anyone know what that means? I know VSC means Vermont Service Center, but does this mean my case was transferred there? Is this good or bad?

dude how did you get to that screen?

That's exactly what I was going to ask as well.

You have to check here: https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus
It doesn't show on ELIS but when you check your case by going to that link, it shows the history of your inquiry.

I believe that screen is from this account:https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/displayLogon.do, which is different from the ELIS account.

Is there a faster way to get the a representative to get transferred to the ELIS help desk? Boyfriends rep hung up on him instead of transferring. I know spamming zero doesn't work lol.

We did manage to get her to open a case though to see what is taking so long. Not that it seems to do any good.

Go here and create an account.

You'll get more details than without an account:

Looks like Ombudsman request took the shotgun approach and sent out mass emails about a bunch of cases, including mine. Not sure if it'll actually have an impact looking at previous request replies

That's nice! At least your re-hire process is simple. I work at a state university and the hiring process takes a month! If I don't get my permit by 9/16 I will have to go through it again once I get my card
