I-485 Transfer to CSC

[happyimmigrant 0]

Well I got the RFE today - it was printed on September 25, they emailed me notice of the RFE on October 4, and I received it in the mail October 10, two weeks after it was printed....

In any case, they are asking for SEVEN items, six of which I already submitted in the original AOS I-485!!!!!! The last item that they want is a certified copy of Holly's divorce decree...even though she has never been married!! Lastly, they claim that she does not meet the income requirements of the I-485, even though she does (and then some).

All I can say is WHAT THE F!!! WHY can't the USCIS get their goddamned act together?!?!?!?! I'm on the phone right now, the recording says I'll be on hold for at least 30 minutes, after which I'll no doubt be disconnected.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Now that just sounds crazy ...

Were you married before and they made a mistake and asked for your wifes divorce decree and they actually wanted yours ... Obviously, if you were never married then they made a huge mistake ...

If you don't mind me asking, what were the other 6 things they were asking for ??

I wish you all the luck and a speedy approval ...

Hi gsmaclean,

I know it sucks but they sometimes ask for things you have already sent. Resend everything that they are asking for again make sure everything is legible this is why sometimes they require the same things. On the divorce if it was you that was married before resend your divorce decree. On the income requirement re-check all the paperwork and write a detail letter touching upon every point stated by the RFE.

Good luck,

Peter Miami

No, they definitely named her - I was married before, and sent them my divorce documentation with the original package.

If you don't mind me asking, what were the other 6 things they were asking for ??

I wish you all the luck and a speedy approval ...

Here's what they asked for:

- Tax transcript for 2005 tax year

- Copy of W2 from 2005

- Employment letter from current employer

- Bank letter

- Bank statements

- Proof of citizenship of sponsor

ALL of these things were provided in the original submission. If this wasn't so important, and it was just another government agency I was dealing with, I'd write a REALLY nasty letter to accompany my response. What kind of IDIOTS do they have working there???????

Oh, and the guy on the misinformation line was of absolutely no help - he basically said, "the agent who is handling the case probably just misplaced the file, or didn't bother to read the previous agent's notes, so they are asking for the information again." How reassuring.

Damn how can they be so messed up ... You must be so frustrated considering the ####### you had to go through with Montreal Consulate and getting an interview date ...

I'm sorery to hear this gsmclean...i dont know if it will help but if you are close to the local USCIS office, you could get an Infopass appointment...anyhow, i think that's what i would do if i were in your situation, the Cincinnati office is less than an hour away and that way i can vent some of my frustrations a little on a real person...the call center reps are really useless, and they just aggravate you more

goodluck!

oh and btw, still no action for me...now i'm really afraid my case has been misplaced, since they have royally f*cked up yours up, i wont be surprised if they lost mine

wheee...happy thoughts ( to myself)

Another touch already today ... They sure have been teasing me the last 4 working days ...

That's weird Scott...I sent the same things...got an RFE anyway. I sent the same things again and there was no problem. *SIGH* You know as well as I do there is NO rhyme or reason for what the USCIS does. I know that doesn't make this easier...believe me, I know. But to ask for a divorce decree from Holly when she hasn't been married before...that's just ridiculous. You know what I did? I typed up a long letter to send along with my RFE information, outlining my evidence, my income, my assets and if they looked at the evidence presented they could see that I more than meet the income levels. I also pointed out that the proof they required was included the first time, yet included again to further strengthen our case. It was a respectfully typed letter but there was a firmness to it as well.

I really hope this gets resolved quickly. I can only imagine how frustrated you and Holly are atm. Hugs to you both.

Well, I got "touched" today! I haven't been keeping track of all the touches before my RFE and getting transferred, but this is the first actual "touch" since they last updated my online status on Oct 1st.

Isn't is strange how your heart skips a beat when you see that?!

[KarenCee 3]

Hey Robert! How goes it in Florida?

Joel got his transfer notice in the mail...and we were touched online yesterday. Yeah, it does make the heart skip a beat...makes you wonder are you that much closer to getting that coveted GC, yanno?

Hey Karen! Things are well here in the Sunshine state! We just moved into our new house on Monday, and are still settling in. Its nice to be out of the hotel!

Getting the GC will definitely be icing on the cake right now!

Ya when you see that the date has changed your almost scared to click on it to see if you actually got approved or a RFE or just a touch ... I am the type of person that thinks the worse so I am always expecting to see a RFE ...

[sharky 2]

well my EAD was approved today!

I guess that's me halfway there now.... just waiting on the GC to be next.....

It takes a lot of pressure off, because my wife and I are moving at the end of the month, and now I'll be able to work (GC or not), it's great timing all round!

pheww....... time to relax a little B)
