Jamaican Husband CR1 - my hired help has me lost

[mrs.enigma 0]

My husband & I got married 07 Mar 2010. I went to a place for assistance with our paperwork & have had nothing but problems with getting any kind of straight answers from them. Luckily enough so far no issues with the paperwork itself. They told me the whole process would take 5-8 months. They delayed our initial filing for a month by requesting copies of all correspondences, which was taking a long time for me to print & read through as there are intimate conversations. It would have literally been boxes of papers. Then to be told they don't need them yet. ugh! Filed and received notice end of May (my exact dates are at home, will provide if needed). Every time I ask how long I'm told 3 month. Then was told he would be here (CA) by Christmas. Not so much.

We filed for an i-130 then a 1-129f. both approved on the same day so the i-129f was closed. We have payed the online fees to the NVC. After paying the fees he sent off another packet with my proof of support, mailed 7 Jan 2011. I just called his office to ask questions and was told this process didn't sound right and was asked to call back in an hour. I don't want another line of bull... so i haven't called them back. I am at wits end & am about to contact my congresswoman for assistance but don't want to create more issues since I pray we are in the last phase. He told me last time we are just waiting for final approval packet.

I want to know if we will receive notice from the USCIS or NVC once the proof of support is received and when paperwork is transfered from USCIS or NVC. When checking the USCIS it shows post decision activity, which I assume is the transfer is in process but not sure. Also, want to know if there is anyway to track when the paperwork is in the NVC's hands.

I am so confused as to where I'm at and where to turn for help or direction ... if you can help please advise.

Thank you in advance!

Okay hold up there is no need to contact your congressman about the lack of communication you are having with your hired help. It sounds as if you'll are at the NVC stage, there are important documents you should now be gathering, such as your tax transcripts, letter from your employer and your husbands police certification. You can call NVC to verify if they are receiving the requested documents from the lawyer.

We have already provided the tax info., letter from employer & police cert. I'm not sure who he sent all the info to. I ask for copies of everything but don't get it. It's like I'm hassling him to keep my own records but have provided everything to him at least 2 or 3 times. I wasn't sure if I was able to contact the NVC direct if I have a rep on file... I just don't want to create more issues by being impatient ... I just wanna know what is going on.

Thank you.

You the petitioner can contact NVC, but remember the entire process for the CR1 takes up to 8 to 9 months. Try calling NVC later tonight when the lines aren't busy, they are available up to mid-night. They will give you status updates, but they are sending are requests to your rep.

Thank you! So all that info went to the NVC? I couldn't even get him to clarify where he was sending the doc's. I ask questions to have a little understanding for the process not to question his abilities but anything is a hassle & inconvenient. I don't want to piss him off cause he is holding my future ... thank you again!
