Hi, could you put these Congressmen phone/email here so we can all call him?

That will make them realize the length of the mess.

as hard as it is, you must have patience. it's not even been 30 days since your noa1. expecting a noa2 that quickly knowing this new law is buggering things up is only setting yourself up for frustration. i had a 130+ day wait for my noa2 so i know how frustrating it is.

this process is slow and stressful ....we should all probably start buying stock in tums and rolaids.

take care.

I'm with you this one. In my humble opinion, calling senators/representatives of congress/elected officials will not do you any good at this point. Is the current processing time for VSC 30 days past the date of your NOA1? If it is, then by all means, call who you can. If it isn't, step away from the telephone!

With the introduction of the IMBRA law into the procedures, people are going to have to realize that there is going to be a wait until the kinks in the process get worked out -- even in superspeedy Vermont.

ok...let me clear this up....we didnt do this cause we were looking for our noa2. i do however appreciate your posts to mine. i was asked to call by a member, the more people calling(maybe) the better. we just talked to them, asking if they knew of some kind of timeline, and we also told them that this was pretty fresh, noa1....04/29. in my case wanting to know maybe, how long this might take was because i have a son who is now 20, who is coming over with me...hopefully, by the time this gets going again, he will still be 20.. ...i didnt mean to upset anyone

I´M SO WITH YOU on this one!

It´s not because he process is long and stressful that we have to sit and wait while they are giving us wrong information.

All we want is a word from someone saying if this new request is being implemented or if they are still waiting for something to start doing it.

That´s all.

We all know we need to wait, but they have a service called information that are not working properly.

billsgirl,

Where did you get a phone number for the VSC? Did you use the Premium Processing number?

From your description of the call it sounds like you called the NCSC?

What people are mixing up in this entire IMBRA mess is that most members that are concerned and calling all over for info are not simply trying to speed their own process up, most are only trying to get answers as to when something will happen, ´cus things are just thrown out there in the open, with no firm deadline for anything. I do believe it´s our right to at least get an estimate. My NOA1 was a little over 30 days ago, and I´m not trying to get someone to give me a NOA2 TODAY, all I am trying to know is if we´re looking on a wait of one month, two months, 6 or more, ´cus depending on their answer, some of us might change plans about visiting our fiances or anything while we´re waiting.

billsgirl,

You called the National Customer [Dis]Service Center, not the VSC.

If we are still sharing frustrated conversations with USCIS officers?

So, I couldn´t find Vermont´s email and emailed California SC (oh yeah, I´m shooting everywhere!).

Here´s the dialogue so far:

ME:

Hi there.

I´d like to know if the Service Centers are processing cases received after March 6th, or if they are still waiting for the new procedures because of the IMBRA law.

Also, when these recalled petitions reach the Service Centers, will they be processed as priority or they will be put at the bottom?

Please, this informations is very important to me, since I had already my interview scheduled and now I wonder what´s gonna happen.

These answers will help me to have more hope that my case will have a new status soon.

Thank you so much.

CCS:

Sir,

Please provide your receipt number, that way I can give you specific information about your petition and how it is being processed.

ME:

Sure.

My receipt number is xxxxx

Petitioner´s name: xxxxx

Beneficiary: xxxxx

If you could please tell me if yhe Service Centers are already working on sending the new quetionnaire or form to the petitioners I would appreciate it. It would give me a lot of hope to know if that´s the situation right now or if all the cases dated ather March 6th are still being held waiting for new instructions.

Thank you very, very much.

CCS:

Your petition was processed at the Vermont Service Center, it was approved xxxxx, 2006. The petition should have been forwarded to the National Visa Center (NVC). You can contact NVC by phone at 603-334-0700.

Thanks,

ME:

Thanks, but that was not my question.

My petition, after fwd by the NVC to my Consulate in Brazil, was sent back to USCIS due to a new request. It was not only mine. As the official statement of the Dept. of State said, a total of 1100 applications were recalled.

You can read that at http://travel.state.gov/visa/laws/telegram...grams_2927.html

Please, all I´m asking is if the Service Centers are already sending out these questionnaires to petitioners or if they are still waiting for further instructions.

Please, I´m not asking for a timeline of my case. I know at this point it´s impossible to predict, but I need to know if the recalled cases are being processed or if they are still on hold.

Please, this is very important to us.

Thank you so much.

CCS:

You would get a more correct answer to your question if you were to contact the Vermont Service Center, as the petition was not returned to this location.

Thanks,

So I just emailed them asking for Vermont´s email.

Should I laugh or should I cry?
