So, I called the NVC to ask IF they had our case.. and they dont! and why on earth they would send it back to the USCIS... which she didnt know, and thought if for some reason they did, the file would still be logged into their system and it is not... so, go figure... more disinformation!

I called the USCIS today and put a service request in to locate my file... we'll see how that goes.

Also, sent my congressman an email asking for help. The USCIS told me today... get this... that the department of state sent the file back to the USCIS!!! #######??? and the USCIS cant tell me JACK!

This is exactly what happend to me. I got my noa2 august 7th and on the 25th was informed they sent it back to uscis. It took me until September 10th to find out why. There was a problem with the paperwork. Turns out i should have gotten an RFE for an unticked box. But USCIS never noticed it. So CSC just sent me an RFE letter which i'm still waiting for.

According to DOS this was a USCIS error and my case is suposed to be expedited. But i just found out that request was denied. The original mistake was my lawyers as we had pointed the error out to him back in April. So all in all months were added to this. Now i have to wait for a new NOA2, instead of an interview date..ARGH!!!

Somehow I missed this post... sorry... This really sucks! I have a question, was the NVC able to tell you that they sent it back to the USCIS? When speaking to the NVC today, they are trying to tell me, that if they received the file and sent it back, they would still log it into the system and make a note that it was sent back to the USCIS.

The have no record of our case, and are saying that it is highly doubtful they sent it back. But these people are soooooo inept that I dont believe them.

When did the USCIS send you the RFE? That was the California Service Center? I suspect many of the recent approvals were actually approved at the CSC even though the VCS was the place that we filed.

I am so angry and frustrated right now!!!!!

Carl, I am sorry you hit AP.. .But I have to tell you that I chuckled when you said to let them explain it to Jessica. I am in the same boat with Joanna, she is trying to be patient, but this process makes sane people go MAD!

I hope that your stay in AP is a very short one my friend.

Once i got my noa2 on August 7th, i kept calling nvc ever couple of days. they confirmed they did get my case and told me it was in processing and to call back in a few days. When i called back on the 27th of august, that is when they told me it was sent back to uscis and that i had to call uscis to get any info as they had zero information for me. My us Fiance called nvc and got more info than i did, NVC told him improper paperwork or something to that effect. They even gave us our consulate case number.

As for the RFE, my file was "touched" on September the 11th at USCIS, and states that on Sept 10th a letter was sent. It does not say what letter or any details, however when my fiance called he got the exact reason and what part of the paperwork was in error, and the confirmation that it is indeed an RFE. We have yet to receive the hard copy by mail. Yes it was California, but i figured it may be what happend to yours as well. Both of these centers are completely inept at everything they do.

So you know what the RFE is for, but you cant respond until you get the actual RFE? Man this system is soooooooooooo broken!!

What are you two doing about the RFE?

And yes, they are inept... unbelievably so!!

I think it's time you called for backup - get the congressman (or woman) on the phone NOW and let them sort out this mess. This is just the kind of thing that they are supposed to be good at. Where is your attorney in all of this?? It's time you got MAD!

[Richard-Joanna 1]

yes very difficult

[cdn_gewels 0]

I'm sorry to hear about all this news... this waiting is so difficult... and all these unanswered questions are unfair. I just wish the Service Centers, the Visa Center and the Consulates would understand that behind the papers are couples with lives that are on hold, apart from one another, wanting nothing more than to be with their love.

Big hugs to all.

We did not wait for the RFE, we immediately sent back a letter with the corrected form that had the unticked box. or rather the lawyer who made the damn mistake in the first place did. CSC received it and signed for the updated paperwork today, thus my new touch.

congressman has been involved since month 5, as for the lawyer, we were dealing with his paralegal due to the fact i just found out his wife was diagnosed with cancer, thus why he never responded fast to us. i was just informed of this today. in a way i feel bad, but in a way i'm upset cuz he should have handed off the file to someone who could have followed it more closely without personal distractions. we also b1tched about the fact we knew everything a week before the lawyer did. and since it's his fault we have already told him he will not be called upon for AOS. My vj family has taught me enough that i already have that paperwork done and ready LOL.

[Richard-Joanna 1]

Well... finally... the NVC received our case!!!

Let's party before the news comes that we hit AP!!!!!
