Your location has no effect on which service center you're transferred to. Read this thread and look at the March filers spreadsheet.

There is probably a topic on visajourney specific to RFE, so I'd recommend that you search for that as well, but I would DEFINITELY call them ASAP and either find out the info, find out why the document wasn't attached, and/or have them re-send the forms.

I have a copy of the form i submitted and right now going through the whole form, i will n/a even if does not apply to me.....and send a letter that i have not received a copy of my petition but what i understand that i missed something form so i am sending an updated one.

That's why people recommended sending a fax instead of an email. At least that way, they'll be forced to look at it. Or they'll run out of paper...

if you do not have access to a fax machine, just use a free online service, like this: http://faxzero.com/ or http://www.freepopfax.com/. Spread this around. E-mails are easily deleted or put directly into SPAM. Faxes are more effective!

Okie doke. Ty. I will change my transfer date.

I was thinking otherwise, in regards to the updating automatically. I checked the numbers before i entered the info and it was the same after. Maybe I am just tired and looked at it wrong.

:)

Yes, I did look at it wrong. They have now updated.
