I am someone that can relate to your situation. We went thru all of this during the 408 days of our case. The RFE we responded to cost us 60 days. Other than that RFE there wasnt anything about our case that was really unusual.

With all respect your government isnt doing anything to you. They are doing something for you. That is extending the privilage of immigration to your fiance. Its a shame that it takes as long as it does in some of these cases. There doesnt seem to be a reason as to why some go thru so much faster than others.

I doubt this has anything at all to do with your realtionship. Many people dont have the amount of time or the number of visits you do & they were approved. USCIS isnt wasting time trying to see if they can cause your relationship to fail or run some kind of inhumane test as though you were lab rats.

Your case has been sidelined for some unknown & undue circumstance. In ours my husband met with USCIS several times to find that reason. All they could say was " this just never happens". Well it did & we lived it. You cant get info from these people on the phone because they simply dont have any. They dont & wont take the time to stop what they are doing to track it down.

My husband advises you to make an INFO PASS appointment right now & go see them as soon as you return to the USA. They will not be able to tell you exactly what is wrong but having human contact will serve several purposes. You will feel better & have a contact in USCIS that will work on the problem. One officer he worked with continued to track the case & try to update us. In the end my husband found a different way to find the case but at least the officer tried.

How did your husband find the case and get it going?

How did your husband find the case and get it going?

I will ask him to P M you with some info that he will not go into again here on VJ.

I will tell you here that he was relentless & tried eveything possible. He left Thailand several times to come to the USA just to meet with USCIS for example. He sat down with them 3 times in two states over the many months. They told him to write letters to them & NVC because the case couldnt be found. He wrote 9 letters. No on EVER responded. When he met with them they said " this just never happens & we dont know what to do". Amazing. One officer did tell him he would pursue the case & let him know what was up. By the time he called back my husband had figured out more than USCIS knew & the guy admitted that on the phone.

Calls to USCIS indicated the case was approved & sent to NVC. Calls to NVC indicated the case was at USCIS. Further calls to USCIS found the case had been sent long ago to NVC. More calls to NVC found it seemed to be totaly lost.

He enlisted the help? of Senator Finestines office. They are worthless. It took a month to get any info at all which was the same as we had already. Later they got some new info but sent it to the wrong address. These politicians all employ staff trained to placate the public. They have no real power to influence USCIS at all. Finestines person Gloria has over 20 years experiance in these matters. She just apoligised for the incompetence as if that helped. This all took over 60 days. The last info she had indicated the case was at NVC.

It was in fact on its way to BKK. The original info from USCIS had been correct. NVC had no idea of what they had done nor were doing.

Your case hasnt been approved by USCIS from what you say. This means it should be easier to figure out what the problem is but it has to be done in person at their offices. The last thing they do is assign a bar code. Ask them if they have done that. If not they can find it other ways within their system.

The best thing you can do now is the INFO PASS. All the other efforts are worthless. You need a human to take interest in your case. At a USCIS office they can see exactly what the situation is to a certian point. Then they can take further action to look into the situation.

I have contacted my Congressman's office. Within the alleged "normal" processing time they will send a general "keep me informed" letter to CIS. But they said if it is greater that the 5 months they send a stronger letter that seems to get results. You can do all this via email if you're in Thailand.

I hope to go there to pick up my wife soon.
