Losing my Patients with the USCIS

[thelastpetitioner 218]

the sad thing is,there are no other options,we have to wait and keep our mouth shut,orforget it and move to our spouse's country.

i dont have any suggestions,because i lost my mind during the process,but i can tell you this,dont forget that you still have to deal with USCIS after your partner arives in the states,so work on it.

PS:

the wait for noa2 is the easiest part,the getting ready for the interview is where it gets really difficult.

I am getting so frickin pissed off at the USCIS. I have patiently waited 6 months for an approval or RFE or denial or something. Have heard nothing except give us another 60 days. I cannot believe this is the United States Government. I cannot believe US citizens are being treated this way. I have paid taxes my whole life, served 4 years of Honorable service in the United States Marine Corps. I am doing this the American way by filing paperwork properly instead of just being a douchebagger and trying to sneak her in the border. Why can't they fix their freakin system so we the citizens, the people who pay them to even have a job can see where are case is at in the process. Maybe they can make it to where we can see that they are waiting on a background search or waiting on a response from your local county courthouse to verify your previous divorce was legal. Or maybe see that they are currently on the golf course and will resume work on your case once they finished the 18. Instead they leave us completely in the dark knowing absolutely nothing. I am telling you my bitterness is brewing badly. My Senator was able to get my case approved for an expedite on Wednesday and still have heard nothing. Has anyone ever called to speak to a teir 2 officer and requested to speak to their supervisor? Any luck getting that done that way? If i have to, i will email the Director of the Department of Homeland Security. I am so sick of waiting for an answer that will only take 10 minutes of somebodies time. I mean i know how difficult physical and mentally their job must be, having to work Mon-Fri 8am to 4:30pm even having all of the medical and retirement benefits. Truthfully i would rather be a Port-a-John cleaner than have to undergo the physical and mental strain of their schedule. One thing i am doing consistently is calling them twice a day and speaking with a teir 2 officer. Next week will be three times a day and the week after that will be four times a day. You can start calling me Andy Dufrene(you know Shawshank) if you want to. Each one of them will be told that i am calling that much. And i will continue to call that much until one of them burns the ten calories it takes of getting up off their ####, walking five steps to the next desk and asking their supervisor to call the VSC. If they are going to waste me and my families time, i am going to waste theirs. Can i get an Amen??!! They are already getting to know me.

Any thoughts anyone? Suggestions?

Have you called and requested to speak to a Tier 2 to request your case be expedited as it is outside of normal processing timelines now? I did this and a request was put in, I received an e-mail confirmation about 3 days later that the request was put in and the NOA2 was approved about 9 days later. Not sure if this will help but maybe give it a try?

I understand that English is not your mother tongue, so here's a hint: a doctor has patients. If you can't stand waiting any longer at the doctor's office, you lose your patience.

Hahahahaha!! I am a Paramedic and I have to write patient everyday, I totally missed that spelling error!

All I can say is, I feel your pain. We are inching towards seven months. My senator did nothing to help my cause. His aid, who deals with immigration, sent a few half-hearted e-mails to USCIS, but they did nothing. She was rude and unhelpful. I have called USCIS a million times and had people repeating the same old lines every time. Can't get an answer, ever. I had one very, very rude tier 2 operator at one point. I seriously feel he put a block on my case or something out of spite. Seriously, it is true, don't piss off people when they hold your future in their grubby little hands.

My RFE was for something I had already sent in. Did they lose it? Were they trying to buy more time? I won't know.

This process has shown me what a truly broken immigration system our country runs. I can understand those who come here illegally. If it is SO difficult for a legal, US-born, tax paying citizen to sponsor the person they want to marry for a visa, how can any average Joe looking for a better life here have any hope of getting a visa on his own? It makes me sick. I've often thought about going into immigration law just to help those who are systematically screwed by this system.

I am shocked by those who say they have waited two years. If we don't have an approval by the end of summer, I am packing my bags and moving back to Mexico with my honey. That country has its share of problems but at least there they will give me a visa in a heartbeat!
