How long have it been since our petition got returned to USCIS? Well, since USCIS received our petition on January 7th 2010 and now is May 19th 2010. My congressman assistant is keeping an eye on our petition right now and she got an answer from USCIS that we will hear something after July 7th 2010. So I guess she also get an automatic response just like everyone else. They said the waiting time can be up to 6 months. Well, we're almost there and counting to July, it is 6 months. Suck that things turn out this way. I'm going to Vietnam in July for my brother in law's wedding. They are making this Journey so hard for both of us. We're doing great and with the help of Marc Ellis, hoping for a successful rebut.

Mine took forever, but it appears that they are processing them faster. Are you going to be in VN long? The USCIS only gave us 30 days to rebut after they sent us our NOID.

I would have your rebuttal ready, and have someone check your mail when you come to Vietnam. Let the person collecting your mail know to open anything from USCIS and if it is the chance for you to do a rebuttal have them mail out your packet. That in my opinion would be the best bet so that you do not have to worry about it while you are in VN. You can also get together an informal rebuttal and send it in early if you know where it currently is (meaning what center it is at) this would not affect it and it might help them by pushing them into a reaffirmed case instead of asking for a formal rebuttal. Either way I am sure you understand how important this is, but don’t forget how important it is for your brother in July as well, so to make it easier on all of you just be prepared for the rebuttal, have it all done and ready to be mailed off then have someone you trust will check your mail daily there to know when it needs or if it needs to be sent out. Good luck Jerome

I'm having Marc Ellis helping us with the rebut. What should I do then? We just provide him with all of our evidence. I haven't reach him lately by email. I guess I'll be calling him in the next few days to see how is our document is going.

Do get a timeline together and get that ready for a notary. Provide lots of pictures, phone records, etc. Explain away at that blue or white form that you got from when they drop-kicked the case back to USCIS. And answer everything that they are holding against you to say that your case is not legitimate. Just throw everything you've got into the evidence!

As for the lawyer, well, that's your call. But do remember you only get thirty days after you get the notice. If he's far away in Vietnam or wherever, that might be a challenge (you have to mail that material to Vermont, not HCMC). And they say to INCLUDE the letter that they send in the evidence...

Good luck!

I agree with using Mark, it is a bit of a challange, so make sure it is done way early because as said earlier you will need the letter they send giving you the oppertunity to do the rebuttal. Just make sure that you can challange every single reason they gave for a denial, even if it seems pointless, or just plain stupid, and if you do not have documentation to prove it was wrong, then you need a statement explaining why you do not have proof. Good Luck, Jerome
