Help!

On 8/29 I recieved a paper approval notice on my I-130. They never updated the document on the website as approved. I have been calling the NVC from India (where I was on business) for the past two weeks- nothing. Tonight I got an email saying my same case now has an RFE... not approved.

Can they go back on this paper approval?? I don't know what to do at this point- any advice would help.

But have the approval?? hmmm..... did u happen to put your WAC number into the NVC and see if it comes up -

Maybe someone else with more knowledge here can help, but try using the automated sytem at National Visa center

They will hold your approval waiting for the RFE evidence

So how did it take two weeks to go backwards? Why approve and then ask for further evidence? I'm so lost right now. Should I call to find out what the RFE is for?

Well all, USCIS has done it again. I'm amazed by this newest idiotic move.

I called this morning to get more info on the RFE and how this could happen after approval. While talking to the service rep, I told her that my approval has a different case number than my NOA1 has- how am I to know if this is unusual or not. She had me give her both case numbers and then told me that she was going to transfer me to someone with more clearance than her- a higher level of case service (interesting...)

Once this gentleman got on the phone and I told him that I had two different case numbers, he had me give him both case numbers and then put me on hold. When he returned, he asked me to verify a bunch of information like: name, address, dob. Then he tells me that the NOA1 I received WAS NOT MINE! They sent me someone else's NOA1. All along I've been checking on the wrong case- so all of the dates I have for my case are wrong.

I was floored- but happy that the case that was approved was mine (although I feel bad for the person who maybe got my NOA1 and now thinks their case is approved or doesn't know they got an RFE). I just don't understand how this could have happened- then NOA1 had all my personal information on it but apparently the wrong number.

The guy seemed positive that this was the case, he went so far as to say, "I don't know how they got this confused, there are no similarities here- dob, name, everything is different." I'm still in shock about this. At the end of the call, he asked me to send the NOA1 back with a brief description of what happened.

Now I'm worried that not having a paper copy of my NOA1 could come around to bite me- but I guess I'm ok because I have the paper NOA2.

Thanks to anyone who read this whole thing!
