Mirla, since you got an RFE it extends the processing time they are alotted.

:blink: What do you mean? Byron got his approval not too long after he sent his RFE back....and I've seen some people with the same situation too.... :wacko:

Yes, some people do get their NOA2 quickly after responding to an RFE. What I'm saying is that when an RFE is issued the service center is allowed longer than the initial 6 month processing deadline.

Im almost sorry I called..... :crying: :crying: :crying:

I got Officer Nancy...who seemed nice but seemed to have a different story. When I called the other day, she said the adjudicator had gotten my case...would be ordering name checks which take a few days and I'll hear shortly after that. THen I get these touches.

NOW today she said he's had it since NOVEMBER 21. That the touch today was simply an update to some data in the system, and that I should call back in 30 days. Many there are on vacation and that some work slower than others (BY AN ENTIRE MONTH??? WHERES MANAGEMENT???) . That it could still be 30 more days.....Ok Im officially broken. No more positive, no more anything. I dont get it....how can it go from a few days, anytime to up to 30 more days????? And now she says the NAME CHECKS are the LAST THING before they issue an approval.....Thats not how it sounded the other day...Im sooo confused.

Like i said last night...CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE SYSTEM SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That doesn't make sense? Wouldn't the thing that takes a few days, be the FIRST thing you did? I know I'd pull everyone in the boxes and then work my way thru them. Of course reason is usually not the first thing they employ. (considers snarky remark, thinks i maybe shouldn't.)

Also, one of my neighbors works for USCIS (tho in the business of tossing out the people that dont' belong, not welcoming them in) .. my mother asked her to peek at my file. There wasnt' anythign she could DO, but she said that our name checks came back clear, and the landing cards had a few typos in them, but otherwise things were fine... and that was in SEPTEMBER. .. I'm not sure WHAT to maek of that, takign into account what Officer Nancy told you?

... this whole process is baffling. .. maybe they're baffled in VT too? :huh:

Please don't let customer service screw with your emotions. Calling them only makes this worse. For all you know she just had a bug up her ### today. Hang in there. Don't plug into anything they say. The guy yesterday told me they are only on May applications. They don't know what they are talking about and it will only make you feel worse.

You are going to get yours so soon! :thumbs:

For example, I called VSC using the RFE trick yesterday and last week. Firs person I spoke with told me to wait a couple weeks. Then someone said they haven't received anything...even though it was sent from NY on nov. 9. Then another person told me that it is either on the mail room or not there. Yesterday and old man that I remember having spoke with him a while ago told me that it wouldn't hurt to resend it....Pat called yesterday and they told him to wait 60 days and that there are thousands of people behind me...as far as I know I'm one of the oldest ones and we cannot wait 60 days cause our deadline is on the 16. and they don't even know if it's there or not.

What do you guys think!?!?!? Confusing!!!! :wacko:

Im wondering if she got monitored giving out information she wasn't supposed to....Casue I got what many here consider "the scripted" 30 days call back thing...but thats NOT what she said the other day....I know that if I dont have noa2 by my 6 month time...Im taking action..of some sort..

I think customer service is a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They have no clue what they are talking about...are they not hired to try to give customers information...why cant they say ..."hold on, im going to go see what is going on with your file" instead of " try in 60 days or you have not exceeded our commitment date" WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!!

Oh!!!! I forgot to add this! So I called yesterday afternoon and this girl with a terrible attitude (sounded like a young girl, I remember talking to her a while ago) told me she cannot give any status on my case and to call customer service!!!! Excuse me! I had a RFE!!!! #######! I wanted to kill her!!! If that was the case then none of the rest officer would've helped us.

that's funny, they need a slap em smiley on here! Anyway, if I were you I would have your lawyer contact them. I think they get more info. Also get his senator or congressperson to check into it like Oslora did when they found her file. Your rep has more power to get something done than you.

Don't wait, it was a silly mistake and they should be finished with your file by now.

PS most people with rfe's said they tell them response by vsc is within 60 days after

Good luck :thumbs:

Good luck Mirla, i never seen somebody so positive like you. God bless you.

You seems always positive and dynamic, you are a very motivated (encouraging) woman despite your young age.
