UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR WITHIN USCIS

[Jubi & Tony 3]

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.

What does RACE have to do with this?

Inaapropriate comment for your issue...I agree with everyone else...get with the bank to determine the facts. I would contact a manger at USCIS and see if they trace who touches the applications and if its recorded in a database log. I'm hoping that they do log which employees touches which application.

I am totally in wuth you ... the card sent to USCIS is being questioned and that is the only one with fraudulent activity. And you said you have not told any card number to your husband. So that has to do something with USCIS activity. Please call the bank and report a fraud and plead them for a fast report. Thanks for the post and keep us posted. USCIS is a organisation who has humans working. So this, though not supposed to happen, but is happening.

You missed the point. They are saying race doesn't matter. The point is, you can't trust everyone now days.

your husbands scamming u?

You need to get with your bank first and get the details of where the charges are coming from. One thing for sure, the issuer of your card have some good security system in place to protect you. Don't jump into any conclusion yet till you get all your facts, all you have right now is just suspicion and rightfully justified. A lsson to learn in this case is NEVER EVER leave your credit card information on any open correspondence it just makes it too easy for fraudulent people. The USCIS officials would have understood your action if you had blackened the numbers. Good luck on the erest of your journey and please keep us posted of the outcome. God Bless!

You did say security concerns and/or irregular activity right? Maybe USCIS reported securtiy issues to your card companies because you sent them your card numbers? Could it be possible that whoever inspected the package for completeness and payment saw the copies of your credit cards? Maybe there is some sort of protocol for this. I mean, they may not want credit card numbers sitting around in files because who knows who has seen them or has access to them.

your husbands scamming u?

[Dogwood_Poet 16]

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

Maybe it's your Caps Lock button . . .

Credit card statements usually contain the full account number, account holder's name, and account holder's address. However, they usually don't contain the expiration date of the card. That information would usually be needed in order to use the other information to make fraudulent purchases with the card.

Wait until you get the details from the bank before jumping to any conclusions.

[hnubno 9]

You can get the address of where purchases were sent if you look online and call the merchandiser. You call them and tell them that you were mistakenly charged for a purchases(s). If theyvsay no you did purchase it then ask for the address and name of where the purchase went and they'll tell you. Also call your credit card company first and tell them that those are purchases that you never made. Usually cc want you to call the merchandiser first and then if merchandiser won't resolve it then you call cc back and say they didn't do anything and won't resolve it. Usually cc will not charge you for it and they'll deal with it. Your cc should have a 24/7 call line for fraudulent purchases or just any issue. I think you are also suppose to contact authorities but not sure which. Look up online and bet you'll find out what authorities you are suppose to contact. Also check your credit.

I had this happen to me when I ordered from 1800contacts but stupid me didn't report it to authorities. Luckily my cc took care of everything. I did get the address of where the purchases went to when I called the merchandiser but never thought of reporting that to authorities. I'd surely do it differ next time. Get the culprit next time.

There is no need to panic and shout in the forum, the fraud has not been detected by you. The fraud or misuse is detected by bank.

That means they are aware of more details then you are, if bank them self claim it is a fraud then you don’t even have to worry about paying them, they don’t get reflected on your Credit history.

Now if some one at USCIS used it or someone hacked into banks system and stole the data or if you have the same number then it could be stole from merchants system as well.

Way it works is when someone steals data from merchant, they inform bank and bank in return would inform all the users. It seems more like your data got stolen from some merchant.

[Casprd 167]

A couple thoughts here. Fraudulent activity doesn't necessarily mean purcheses. Simply inquiring on a card from an unrecognized location can trip the fraud alert (this happened with the bank card I sent my wife). Sending account numbers is never ever ever a good idea. Even bank account numbers should be redacted out. The USCIS and NVC don't need or want this info they just want to see that there is an account and balance history. Finally don't jump to conclusions yet. It may seem like you know what happened, but it could be any number of reasons that the credit card issuer tripped the card for a fraud alert. The fact that you didn't get a call about this would indicate it wasn't for charges. Every card and bank account I have has a 24 hour desk that will call me if they even see an unusual purchase. If you didn't get a call from the Bank then it is very possible it wasn't a result of a fraudulent charge.

Okay what do you expect ? top notch customer services, you really think this part of the services was implemented for profit? I already got a fat lard from USCIS on this board thinking he is all mighty because he works for them, so the best advise I can give you is to suck in your pride and expect the worse and brown nose like no other. Being rude to them will not help your situation, you need to be their best friend and try to work with them at your best effort. Most of these types of government employees are under educated and has no sense of morale, I would put these people in the same ladder as postal employees.

Good luck with your efforts and remember brown nose, like no other and say sorry a lot to them.

Joo joo

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!!!
