There is no direct number. If you've already called the USCIS mis-information line and gotten nowhere, patience is your only alternative.

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

Actually, there's a way to call VSC but they'll likely not give you any accurate info. You can try though.

Here's how:

1-800-375-5283

press 1 pause 2 pause 6 pause 1

Enter Receipt #

press 3 pause 2 pause 1

I only offer advice - not even legal. Just the plain and simple kind.

Actually if you call them their recording says 30-45 days to process this type of case, but if you were approved previously then "less than the maximum stated in this message" (45). I'm on 43rd day after RFE with prior approval (165 or so since NOA1) with no 'touches'. The way it's going now, I don't particularly think that it will get here by day 60. ..Oh and if it doesn't, and you try calling them they will say (personal experience) "Well did you count the weekends?"

Because when someone says '45 days' Everyone knows they really mean about 57 counting weekends right?

This is true. But i want to know is it 60 days including weekends ? or 60 business days only? and really i don't think they do much after the 60 days anyway. Do they?

Thx, Mew. Didn't realize they maintained their own phone number. Somewhere I thought I read that you couldn't get through anymore.... or perhaps I'm getting that confused with emailing California??? :blush:
