January I-129F filers

[P+J 47]

Well we got the response in mail from uscis today. basically

saying they got the service request and that we will receive a decision

or notice within 90 days from july 9th... They just add days/ weeks/ months wherever and whenever they want...

Yes. It feels like we are dealing with the most psychotic system ever created...Service requests are and have always been useless, I wasn't too concerned that I couldn't push one through. Based on the information VosnMars received and prior experiences here Congressman and Senators are the best resource for some assistance. (However, only when approaching and beyond the 6 months point). What VosnMars said about the 5 months and 30 days has been stated before..Hopefully many of us can acquire an expedite now. Yesterday was a very weak day at VSC. Hopefully today is better.....Just baffles me what's going on over there.

We had one of those A XXX XXX XXX numbers on our RFE too. (It say's applicant / petitioner A#).

Does that mean that eventually becomes my SSN # ??

Would be curious if anyone knows...

Your Alien Registration Number is issued by the USCIS and it is only used in your immigration process.Your SSN is provided by the Social Security Administration.Your A# will be put in your SSN as a reference to your legal presence status in the US making you eligible to be issued a SSN.

Sabi, you are so knowledgeable about all of this!! Thank you!

Ever thought maybe when you get to the US, that you could work for USCIS? You probably wouldn't even need training! Perhaps you could straighten some of these yahoo's out??

Our Congressman's office is contacting VSC again on our behalf this week to get an update to our RFE now that we've sent back what they need. We'll see what kind of response we receive this time. Our RFE says a minimum of 14 days for them to process, but she is calling this week anyway...

The same day they initially contacted VSC we got the RFE... like within hours...

PS: We never initiated a service request.

hahahahahaha yahoo rulez! Well by the time I get there I'll know everything about this whole process...I could easily work for them as a supervisor to make sure people are being approved and treated as human beings.

Terry is laughing that I know more about the US than the actual American citizens like him well I have done the whole on my own, he has no idea about what's involved, I just tell him what to write and who to call haha!

Yes you could!! You da best!!

Rick is the same way... I tell him what the process is... and he just says... "okay, what do I do next?" LOL... I tell him what calls to make and what paperwork we need...

[Stu4Lee 66]

Stu4Lee looks I am to find out in about 8 days how it's like to wait for an approval 187+ days

Not necessarily, expect the unexpected.

Believe me, I haven't given it a second thought since NOA2, and you won't either, your focus will be on the next stage and onwards

We had one of those A XXX XXX XXX numbers on our RFE too. (It say's applicant / petitioner A#).

Would be curious if anyone knows...

No it doesn't. SSN is in format XXX-XX-XXXX

What utter rubbish!!

That will be why you have been trying to get one for weeks then right??

[sabi 148]

Terry is really bad with organization and planning... I complete him haha! of course I don't mind but I wish he knew more sometimes as I am the only one getting frustrated... or maybe he is actually right, he is more patient than me as he is clueless...

<BR>congrats <IMG class=bbc_emoticon alt= src="http://static-forums.visajourney.com/public/style_emoticons/default/good.gif"> <BR><BR>I agree with Kate&Javi. Call USCIS and find out what is going on. It is strange though that you got a mail from NVC about simply receipt of your case. We have not yet passed this stage, but as far as I have read on VJ they only send you a letter after their process takes place to inform you that they have sent your case to the consulate. This is the reason why everyone is calling NVC every day to see whether they have received the case or not. I'm sure that other members can correct me if I'm being wrong.<BR><BR>Anyhow, I guess it doesn't matter now. You got 2 good news in one letter: NOA2 and receipt by NVC <IMG class=bbc_emoticon alt= src="http://static-forums.visajourney.com/public/style_emoticons/default/kicking.gif"> <IMG class=bbc_emoticon alt= src="http://static-forums.visajourney.com/public/style_emoticons/default/kicking.gif"> <IMG class=bbc_emoticon alt= src="http://static-forums.visajourney.com/public/style_emoticons/default/kicking.gif"><BR>

<BR><BR><BR>The NVC sends out a letter when approved as you say. This is what they got. No need to call NVC if you can wait 3 days for the letter (unless you want number a week early). But yes, at this stage, NVC has reviewed and approved. Edited July 17, 2012 by L+T

You are on expedite track, they usually say 60 days. Will likely zip through NVC as well.

hahaha well as long as your boy has Asian roots they might be or should I say looking at it this way, most guys have to be related haha!

You are correct, the RFE says a minimum of 14 days and a maximum of 60 days! Sure hope the process is more "zippy" than it has been so far!!

[sabi 148]

BTW have you noticed it's 17th and they still haven't update the system... my guess is, they are trying to approve as much as possible before releasing the update if they want to keep the 5 months processing time!

Hahaha.... omg funny you should mention that... Rick's father is now married to an Asian woman and he has an Asian half-brother... Wow... that would be seriously f*%#ed up!!
