UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR WITHIN USCIS

[boomummy73 2]

Hello everyone, I'm new here and don't know where to post. I just started my k3 journey a couple weeks ago. I sent in all the necessary documents that i thought would help my case... for co- mingling of funds I thought it would just be easier to send in proof of having credit cards in my husbands name since all I had to do was add him as an authorized user... My very first instinct was to cross out a row of the numbers for each credit card that I copied because I know that there's a lot of fraud that goes on, but my second thought was to just leave it since I'm dealing with USCIS and didn't want to cause any suspicion... well to my surprise, I got a shocking letter from my credit card company today saying that there's been a suspension put on my accounts due to security concerns and/or irregular credit card usage, let me add that I just got these accounts open and have never used them before sending them in to USCIS, and the same accounts that were suspended are the same accounts that i sent in to USCIS. I have plenty other credit cards and never had anything like this to happen to me until I sent a copy of those credit cards to USCIS... I know that the files didn't end up any where else because I received my NOA... so obvious there's someone employed with USCIS that's practicing unethical behavior... Has any vjer's out there had this to happen to them, and if so what did you do? Please feel free to comment even if it haven't happened to you. Thanks!!!

I think you should report it somewhere, I don't know how it works in US but I guess this should be immediatly investigated by USCIS

So outrageous

Did you call the CC issuer fraud prevention department to learn what the "issues" are?

[j and s fernandez 1]

OMG that's terrible!!! Did you call your bank to ask for more details? This has to be addressed. I'm shocked!!!

I CALLED THE CREDIT CARD COMPANY TODAY BUT THEY WERE CLOSED, THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH SOMEONE THAT WORKS WITH USCIS... FIRST THING IN THE MORNING I'M GOING TO CALL MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY AND THEN I'M GOING TO GO FROM THERE, AND YES I MOST DEFINITELY WOULD BE FILING A COMPLAINT.

I would not start accusing people of anything without proof, contact your credit card company as soon as possible, i thought that most had 24/7 service for misuse and lost cards. just get proof first.

DROGS I WOULD MOST DEFINITELY CALL THE BANK FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, BUT LIKE I SAID BEFORE, THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THIS WASN'T THE WORK OF SOMEONE WORKING FOR USCIS AND I'M STICKING BY THAT UNLESS I HAVE PROOF THAT IT WASN'T... WE LIVE IN A VERY CRUEL WORLD NO MATTER YOUR BACKGROUND, RACE, HOW PROFESSIONAL YOU ARE, THE AMOUNT OF DEGREES YOU HAVE UNDER YOUR BELT, OR HOW MUCH MONEY YOU MAKE ETC... THE FACT IS THAT EVERYONE IS HUMAN, AND JUST BECAUSE WERE DEALING WITH USCIS DOESN'T MAKE SOMEONE THAT WORKS FOR USCIS INCAPABLE OF DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS... IT JUST AMAZES ME THE CONSEQUENCES THAT PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR PULLING STUNTS LIKE THIS.

Did you inform the CC issuer that the secondary cards where going to a person in Nigeria ? Any mention of that country will get your card flagged for fraud and closed. I had to have 3 long phone calls with my bank to ensure them that I was indeed having a card that would be used in Nigeria and even establish a daily limit and a password for emergency authorizations above that limit. Before you jump all over USCIS people make sure you are barking up the right tree. They have enough personal identifying info that they could open 20 cards in anyones name and no one has ever reported this happening before. I think you have a Nigeria paranoid banking institution.

NIGERIAORBUST I NEVER SENT THE CREDIT CARDS TO MY HUSBAND, I STILL HAVE THE CREDIT CARDS IN MY POSSESSION.I HAD JUST OPENED THE ACCOUNT AND HAS NEVER USED IT MYSELF.. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION CORRECTLY, NO I DIDN'T INFORM ANYONE.

Very true, if you did not inform your CC issuer that the card would be used in Nigeria (or anywhere outside the US) then I would think that may be the issue. The fraud prevention departments tend to freeze first and then investigate. Because they ultimately are on the hook for fraudulent activity. And Nigeria does have an active scammer reputation.

I'M VERY AWARE OF THE SCAMMING THAT GOES ON IN NIGERIA, BUT I NEVER MENTIONED TO THE CC ISSUER THAT THE CARD WOULD BE USED IN/OR BY ANYONE IN NIGERIA.. ALL MY CREDIT CARDS I HAD ISSUED IN MY HUSBANDS NAME.. NOW I KNOW IT MIGHT SEEMED THAT I'M JUMPING THE GUN HERE BUT COME ON.. I HAVE 12 CREDIT CARDS IN MY NAME THAT I ALSO HAD ISSUED IN MY HUSBANDS NAME, BUT THE ONLY ONES THAT ARE BEING QUESTIONED ARE THE COPY OF THE CREDIT CARDS I SENT TO USCIS.

If you don't see any unauthorized charges on the account, wait to find out what the bank is seeing. Then you can act on the information rather than speculation.

EVERYONE IS RIGHT, BUT I'M HOPING IT'S NOT WHAT I'M THINKING.
