Talked with Vermont

[elizaxyz 0]

I just spoke to Vermont!! They have our petition. I've been unable to locate it since the Embassy said they returned it a month ago. She said that of all the calls she's had this morning, ours was one of the few that she was able to actually confirm they had at the center! WOO HOO. She also said that they would be sending the RFE "soon." I'm just so happy to have confimation that it's in VT.

Reading that makes me feel somewhat better; they haven't been able to confirm that they have mine yet. But at least things are starting to move there.

I also got a confirmation yesterday that Vermont received my petition on June 12th.

Stay positive, this may take a while.

Thanks! I can be patient, but I'll feel so much better when I know where the petition is.

Hopefully that means your RFE will be on its way soon, though, which is excellent news.

This is just rediculous. First they totally screwed up and had to recall the petitions, and now they have no order what so ever. The RFE's are not being sent out by receipt date. The only thing I can think of is they are sending them out based on when they received them back from the consulates, or in the order when the security check was done. Why couldn't they just send out an automated email for people to print and then send in?????????????? They RFE is the same for everyone.

I agree, there is no method to this madness so far.

I was told several times by USCIS staff that they have to have the petition back before taking any action. So if the embassy is slow to send it, your receipt date is meaningless.

Well that's only for the ~10% of the petitions that have an NOA2. Most of us have only received an NOA1 so in fact they can do a chronological send of the RFE's and in fact if you look at the VJ's that have received a RFE notice you will see they are all in the early to mid March timeframe.

Just want to put my 2 cents in not that it means alot....we are all stressed and everyone wants the RFE... But this is what seems to be going on as far as i see it threw vermont.....From what i can tell it was myself, igor and razor that somehow got stuck in the noa1 stage back in march... we watched many I-129f pass us by in sending in the I-129f well after the 3 of us... alot of the vermont vj memebers got the noa1's and then noa2's and some with interviews etc... so in this when all the imbra started somehow we got found......well at least myself and igor im not sure about razor i haven't seen him on vj today to see if he had a change..anyhow my point is now we kinda have a idea on what we all have to do and thats what for the RFE's and i feel that myself and igor and hopefully razor just got found in the system and they sent us out the RFE as for we had got left behind everyone and never got to our noa2 stage.....so since it was only only the 3 of us it should not be long till the rest get sent out!!

I will be gone for the weekend back on sunday i hope till i get back everyone has good news and this mess can come to some kind of order!!

You guys are all great and having alot of you around for info and support is why i love VJ so much...

Sorry. but this is very frustrating.

We have people with receipt from may getting RFEs.

The Consulate from Brasil sent my petition back in May and I got a confirmation from both USCIS and NVC that they got it on May 21st.

So there´s no way to find out what they are doing it.

They should be informed that 1100 people were previously approved and now have to get in line again????

What´s with this nonsense?

Hi Elizaxyz,

Just wanted to say that I notice that our timelines are very similar and that you're app was going through London as well. My fiance got an email saying that ours was returned on May 18th and I'd imagine they sent the lot of them then. I know it's frustrating not to know where it is - until today I couldn't get an answer out of anyone! However, if ours made it safely from London back to VSC, I'd be willing to bet that yours did too!

Best of luck - this waiting is so hard.

I'm in the same boat you are. No one can tell me where my application is and no RFE or email or anything. My NOA2 approval was dated 04/12/06 and like you we had an interview that is cancelled (returned tickets and cancelled wedding plans). The goverment I support and that is supposed to serve me only causes fustration and pain. While I'm very happy for those recieving RFEs it just makes me more worried.
