Response from my rep. about recalled cases

[Lewis 0]

Here are some excerpts from the doc. my rep. sent me:

"When an I-129F petittion is approved, the original petition is sent to a federal storage facility in Harrisonburg, Va. As a result, the service center did not have a record of those approved I-129F petitions that were not issued visas under this new regulation".

"Your I-129F petiton will retain the original receipt date. The American consulate in Ciudad Juarez received the information requested in the Request for Evidence from you. As a result, your case is in the process of being reviewed by an ajudications officer. Once a final decision is made, you will be notified directly".

Hope this helps somehow. No big news here, I'm still waiting.

Huh? Your RFE was sent to the consulate??? What the heck does that mean? And I haven't seen where it matters one iota that our petitions retain the original receipt date. Nobody seems to give a freakin rip what the receipt date is.

I'm kind of confused about it. I think it means that my RFE was not sent there but the answers to my questions were sent there so they would be prepared ahead of time. Who knows at this point. When I talked to my rep on Friday, they did not mention it. I'll ask them about it next week.

Mentioning the receipt date is something else, so far it does not seem to have any significance whatsoever. Hope we get reaffirmed this week!

I also find it amazing that they send the petition into storage BEFORE the case is approved by the consulate and visa is issued.

These files are probably too huge to be left in their offices. Further, normally the State department generally rubber stamps the approvals.

It does confirm all of our earlier assumptions.

The biggest problem is that USCIS processes are primarily manual, paper based. An good insight into USCIS

Thank you very much, I'm beginning to understand the USCIS better at this point. They really do need to get away from their antiquated system. Wow, 56 pages and I only have gotten to #12!

Have a nice Sunday
