AOS FILERS - March 2008

[beejay 123]

I decided to call USCIS. AGAIN The last time I called they placed service request for the AP, today I only called about the EAD.

For the ones who don´t remember: in June they told me my EAD is set to be adjudicated on July 28th or earlier. In July I called about ten days prior to this date and that´s when the lady said she wasn´t able to place a service request for that, cuz the computer told her I had to wait 55 more days before it would accept the service request (which would put me in the middle of September).

Today I decided to call again just out of curiosity and despite the first lady putting me on hold about million times and asking my zip code about half a million times and so on, she put me through to some laid back guy who told me my EAD was still being reviewed and they were still working on it. So I said that since their website says they were working on EADs from April 16 and my one is from March I´d like to know what was going on. He said I could go to my local office (well go - that´s 4 hours driving ) and tell them to call the benefits center and they should tell them. So I said I thought that´s what the service requests were for. So he said he could place a service request but that would take up to 30 days before I get a letter from them. I said that was fine, so he placed the service request for my EAD

So now I have service requests on both AP and EAD See what happens

Way to be resourceful. Something has got to come to fruition.

i called USCIS ... and spoke to a lady .... i told her my problem that i submitted the requested RFE in feb which was recieved by them in march ...

and she said that there is nothing else that they need from me and that they are currently working on october 2007 and that it takes about less then a year for anything to happen ....

i'm so annoyed tho cause at this rate, my baby will be borne before i get all this immigration ####### done with ....

anyways.... hope your all doing better then me?

Congrats on the recent GC's and interviews...

For us, it's getting so DEPRESSING...nothing yet....absolutely no activity on our I-485...no touches, nothing...our file is dead. I'm starting to seriously worry...are there more of you out there like us...???

I think there's heaps of blokes out there who are in the same status as we are. May the force be with us!!!

You are certainly not alone in your journey. I had not received any updates since the biometrics appointment back in April, so I decided to call and find out what was going on. When I called the USCIS phone number and entered my case number, I was told we had been sent a RFE. When I spoke with a live person, they could not tell me if an RFE had been sent or not. They said nothing was showing in their computer.

I never received an email from CRIS or anything by snail mail, so I have no clue at this point what is going on, or if or when one was sent. The USCIS rep. submitted a form to find out what was going on but stated it could take up to 30 days. Looks like this process is going to take 6 months or more just like our K1 visa approval.

Anyone know how long it takes for them to find out what is going on with your case after they submit the request for investigation????

Hi there, I would not worry. It appears there is a glitch, and many people get that recording. I even got it when I used to check the status of our I-130. When you call, using the RFE line (path)...it will tell you that you have an RFE....but you really dont. We never got one with our I-130...

Thanks for the info YGandMat. I called the RFE line again and got the same message. This time I was able to speak with a senior agent. She checked her computer and determined no RFE had been issued. I asked why the phone message stated an RFE had been issued but she had no explaination. She told me I would have gotten an email or letter. She was not a friendly person and just keep telling me over and over again there was no problem.

LIke you I figured that it must have been a problem with their system but she did not want to admit it. Nice to know I am not the only one that encountered this problem. It makes me feel a little more relaxed. Thanks again.

Well the wife did, lol. actually NBC refused to send our local office my file even though the local office was ready to move our date forward as my wife is starting a new job in a different state. Once the congressman was involved it turns out that NBC wouldn't forward the file since proper procedure wasn't followed, but choose not to tell anyone that. So basically the congressman just made them admit the problem, its such a pain that you have to go to such lengths for a jobsworth to tell you the problem.

You are not alone u2rsobad. I mailed my AOS paperwork 12 days after you and I am also still waiting. It took me 153 days for my K1 approval, so I am guessing the AOS approval will be just as long, if not longer. I guess the USCIS gods are not smiling on us.
