Missing Receipt Notices at TSC
Posted Jul 27, 2001

Apparently, many applications and petitions filed with the INS Texas Service Center (TSC) on or before May 1, 2001 have not been issued receipt notices. The TSC liaison committee of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) is working on compiling information on such cases, to assist TSC in solving the problem. If your attorney is a member of AILA, kindly request that an eMail message be sent to the committee Chair by August 4, 2001, including the basic identifying information on the case and a statement as to whether or not the filing fee check was cashed. Complete instructions as to the information that needs to be included, and the eMail address for sending the request, is available on the AILA members-only website.

We at The Law Office of Sheela Murthy have also noticed that receipts for several cases filed during the remainder of May 2001 may also be "missing." We are happy to provide any further updates from the Texas Service Center in a forthcoming article in our MurthyBulletin, as soon as TSC provides us an update.
