Its been 29 days today since they signed for my evidence, and I only got the email of case resumming processing June 8th. Was told by Deputy Director of USCIS give it 30 days from after you get email that they got your evidence and resumed processing of your case. That is a crock!

Congressman wont do nothing, even I tried with Senator, useless. So maybe I will be apporval by July 8th, PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

Truly happy!!!

I wonder if the Hollywood actors adopting kids overseas and the rockstars, if they have to go thru the same process as us? Is that still considered a "family" petition after the adoption????

Truly happy!!!

Nothing new for me since last friday. One thing that irks me is after I got NOA1 I noticed some people on CFL were getting NOA2 very quickly, so I set about getting my employment letter from my HR woman at work ... let me tell you, it was no easy task. It took 3 days worth of eating my lunch while making the long walk from my job to the front offices. Finally on the third day she told me "Stop by on your way out today, I'll have it waiting for you." I stopped by on my out the door and sure enough ... she said with a half smile "One sec while I type it up!" Gggrrr. Anyways, its dated May because I thought NOA2 would be quicker than it is. I am wondering if I will need to get another one? A more recent letter?

I have sent my RFE on June 3, 2009 and still no news from USCIS and i keep checking the website status everyday..... How does someone find out if you recieved any touches????

Un-believeable, they RFE you, then transfer your case to California. Pathetic!!!! Keep track of your RFE, cause CSC might not see what VSC seen to RFE you.

Truly happy!!!

I'm sure they do... but theirs slip by easily.... they have enough star power to get prioritized. I bet Angelina Jolie didn't have to wait 6 months to get approval from USCIS when she adopted PAX or her other kids for that matter.

that's weird.. no more responses from the guy anymore.. maybe he only goes in the afternoon or has a day off today? :blink: I knew it was too good to be true..

GOGO, and BETH , first of all allow me to thankyou both on MR. Deputy directors email address. I emailed him yesterday, and his response is great but not very pleasant. he openly questions in his one email to his employee, " where and how are all these folks getting my email address from. Must be from chat room".

In his reply he writes that, just that i found his email address and emailed him does not necessarilymove my case into preferential category" and that actually slows down the processing of the application and repeated inquiries in to the processing by us actually slows down the process , since it takes the officers time away from the actual processing. That is the summary of his email .

He did reply that , CSC has sent a RFE on 6/11 which I have not recieved yet, and I emaield back thanking him and that i would be looking forward to the receiving the RFE.

As I had suspected the other day, now he may be getting tons of emails , from silent vj readers to active participants with all sort of inquiries, not only on I-130s but everything else. therefore he may not be replying. As a matter of fact, he, during his email to his employee, says, "I will reply this one", that implies , he may not or was suggested to ignore from his employee.

so that is the story on that email end.

now, on the other side of the coin, the RFE was not sent on 6/11 as he claimed. After talking to Beth this morning, i checked USCIS site, and it still had pending Status on my cases. I cheked my email nothing it it either. Beth insisted i should get an email regarding the RFE , and lo behold , It arrived at 11:45, saying below:

This seems rather after he recieved my email , which was sent at 8:45 am this morning, saying that i have nto recieved the RFE sent on 6/11. and he must have thought , it should not take this long to mail RFEs. So me thinks, he made sure it is sent out today. Oh well!!

i see some action on my file after 7 months. I had a touch on 6/12 out of nowhere. and i did suspect right that my files might have had a touch on 11 also. whatever is the reason, now I am looking forward to the RFE. I can guess that they want a different Translation of the marriange cert, and pictures of my wife and me and my child together and probably some Affidavits from Friends and Families.

that is my side of story. Bottom line, Mr. DD does seem to be helpful person and replies fairly quickly , but has started to wonder where and why he is getting all these emails from suddenly.

Thank you all for reading .
