LOL Hun, just got off phone with Jennifer omg too funny - we bonded yeah....well she said at least my application has been found in VSC so within the next week it should get into the system - she also said to go by receipt date which is cool, and then after that I have a secret number lol,just kidding, but do go and do my thing if nothing has happened in that time frame - she said go with Senator or Congress person.

She so said that the I-130's were the problem and they are trying....sighs........Also tried to squeak out of her about the the CRI/IRI thing that I-129f would be cancelled if the they were close. She did say they are trying to do that, but no offical word yet or mandatory compliance.

CHEERS AND TOO FUNNY xxxxxxx

Susie,

Just a bit of an update.......You know that I had emailed the senators here in Ky....well really all of the reps here. Anywho, I got an email today from Senator Ridleys office and gave me a contact # to call and speak to the lady that sent the email to me. So, I did that today and they were in session, so I left my callback # and so hopefully hear something tomorrow from that office. Also, I received a letter from Mr. Bunnings office and I have to fill out a Privacy Act of 1974 form....and a copy of our NOA1, so I am working on that now. So, I hope something good will come from this.

Also, take a look at our timeline and all the darn touches that we have had.........I can't believe it and still no darn NOA2 and we have been waiting since June 2007!! It has been ,,,,,,,over 8 mths and still nothing

But we have to have BELIEVE that we will hear something soon!!! Insha Allaah...........

*hugs*

well, if you're still within processing times, there's nothing that they will do for you but give you a bullcrap response or let you THINK they're doing something...their reply to my email:

Thank you for your email advising our office about the difficulties you are having with the USCIS regarding your I-130 and K-3 Visa Petition. If you have a specific case problem that you would like our office to research, please visit our website for information on how to submit a case problem using DHS Form 7001. www.dhs.gov/cisombudsman/. For privacy reasons, we require written consent before we can research your case. Information on our website may be helpful www.dhs.gov/cisombudsman. We recently held a teleconference, "K-3 Family Reunification Visa: How is it Working for you." We will be posting highlights from the teleconference and questions for USCIS shortly. That information may be helpful. We also recommend that you contact USCIS directly WHAT A JOKE! You may wish to call the USCIS National Customer Service number at 1-800-375-5283 and schedule an infopass appointment. If you have any further difficulties, please contact our office again with the details of the call or visit. Please note that CIS Ombudsman is independent from USCIS and cannot adjudicate immigration applications or serve as a substitute for the legal options offered by USCIS to correct a problem. It is outside the authority of the CIS Ombudsman to grant or reverse a denial of an immigration benefit. Thank you again for your time and input. CIS Ombudsman Office

I replied with:

Thank you for your prompt reply. We were contacting you regarding preventative measures...BEFORE we get to this state. You don't understand! You cannot call unless your case is outside of processing dates & if you do call, you NEVER get correct information! PLEASE CREATE A PROFILE ON VISA JOURNEY AND READ THE HEART-WRENCHING STORIES!! All we want is to be united with our loved one(s) and USCIS doesn't follow ANY sort of legislation as no one is enforcing the rules! They have NO due process and are getting away with it! MANY people have had their K3 visa applications cancelled due to the fee waiver (changes in effect July 30, 2007) and NO ONE IS HELPING US. WE are begging you to please do something!

Their last reply:

Thank you for your suggestion. Again, we regret that you are having such difficulties and we are looking into the K-3 visa process. You may also look up current processing times on the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov.If your case is outside current processing times, USCIS instructs applicants to call the 1-800 # for a service request. If your case is within processing times, there is not much that a customer service representative can do. Our office is concerned if you are having difficulties with USCIS National Customer Service number. If you call again and are having difficulties, please note the officer, date, andtime of the call and email us at the address again. We understand that you are frustrated with the delay. Thank you again for your email. Sincerely, CIS OMbudsman

There you have it, in black & white! Another government organization who doesn't give a #######...just making all of you BELIEVE that they're doing something!

Jen,

I so skip USCIS for this issue - even the Omsbdmn office said once you are out of timeline go to your elected officals and dont worry, they are close and expecting me if need be.

Good Luck
