further inquiry answer from congressman

[Y's_habibitk 2]

Well, I recently asked my congressman to do a more detailed inquiry other than the generic.. "not outside processing times"

So, bottomline is this:

"The first time your case had "activity" was to assign your husband an "A#". The second activity was a "data change" <--think this was tying the I-130 to the I-129f after congressman inquired into the K3.

"Both of these are routine activities and as of today, your case has not been reveiwed or sent to an adjudicator"Bla bla processing date."

So guys... the touches some of us get early on and then nothing= assigning an A#.

Good Luck to everyone.

We were glad to have some insight. But, wish it wasnt still sitting(probably still in backround checks)

Hi Lisa,

It really would be nice to know exactly what they do with the petition after it is received at USCIS and all of the steps that go into getting it approved. I was wondering what kind of stuff they verify..what kind of checks they do for petitioner and beneficiary....because I am sure all of these things go into how long it takes to get the petition approved. I am sure that some of the checks must be done with the other countries...and depending on their agencies and how fast they respond, etc....can all be factors in the wait time.

We do have a right to know...I wonder who would be the right person to ask. It would be interesting thing to uncover for anyone who has to go through this process in the future.

Deb,

This is a good start in finding who/how to expose this process's flaws.

I question whether anyone outside the government has a right to know about the process used by the USCIS.

Esmatsgirl, here is a link to a section in this VJ forum titled "Question and Answer Session with a former USCIS Adjudicator" that might be helpful.

Thanks for sending that link Garu...I have already seen it earlier this year.......and it is entertaining but not really helpful...and we shouldn't have to rely on some former employee to tell us what goes on there. We do have a right to know...its not like its top secret that they go through the FBI and other checks...it would just be nice to know who covers what types of checks, etc

Using the excuse that its top secret to keep us in the dark about it all is just giving them carte blanche to take however long they want and not have to give any logical answers...which is exactly what they want.

Accountability - they need to be accountable and serviant to the USC that are petitioning....we are THEIR customers.

im sorry but i think that statement its in security is being over used by at least csc.......look at our time line there is no way that it can be in security this long.......i think that the service centers use it so that u can not dig further into the real problem as to why they are not processing the case......in our case i feel they lost the physical file and only have what is in their computer...........sorry but its what i feel.........

I believe as a U.S citizen, I have a right to know the processes of an agency that is working for me.

We arent asking for national security secrets. We are asking for accountability.

Aww.. i doubt they lost the file, its probably sitting in a box somewhere.

But, i was feeling like: ya, they touched us... they took our file out, placed it under a table leg to level it out lol
