oh dear... have you heard about 14 people killed in Denver on the premiere of the dark knight rises? Terry was to see the movie tonight, well I am not letting him that's for sure!... horrible news :(

It's terrible, and it could happen in any theater and any time too. The gunman was just 24 and at least 38 were injured. Some of the bullets went through the wall into the next auditorium.

The exact words were this...

The status of this service request is:

Your case is currently under review. You should receive a decision or notice of other action within 60 days of the date of this letter.

Sure, its their generic answer. But judging by the numbers close by... somethings coming soon. Hopefully an approval!!!

ha the lack of consistency is crazy. has to be the most frustrating part of the whole process. It's like even they don't know exactly how they go about processing the petitions. Different responses to the same questions or similar situations. We'll see if my Congressman has any effect. At this point, it will be impossible to know for sure if it was just time or the effects of an expedite. Glad I didn't bother trying to push the service request...Looks like they are just about useless.

USCIS: A Glossary

Review: A completely meaningless term used to get a petitioner to believe someone is actually working on his/her petition.

Processing Date: A randomly selected date at least 3-4 weeks back that is chosen to cover the a**ses of the adjudicator. This date may never move forward.

RFE: Request for Evidence- usually something you've already sent in, but that they lost and are pretending you didn't send in to cover their a**ses.

5 Months: A completely useless time frame which only few will achieve. See the definition for the 1%

The 1%: The people we love to hate who either got lucky or have actually legitimate reasons for getting approved early.

Anyone like to add a few? LOL star_smile.gif

Well, I just checked, they sent us an RFE today.. I can't stop crying... Wow, so much for wanting my file looked at.

SO sorry, hope it shouldn't take so long to send everything back and you will be approved soon. Don't worry and I know its hard not to cry but everything will be ok...you'll see. Just send them what they need and you will be ok.

hahahahaha a good one Mary!

sure why not:

RFE Request For correcting an Error - mostly error on USCIS' side

Processing time - a time that has nothing to do with the actual process...it is the period of time during which your petition will collect a nice layer of dust, usually 5 months up...

Initial Review please see Processing Time

Instruction on USCIS website - not fully complete source of information

Adjudicators- position very similar to GOD. someone you will most probably never meet in your life and who has the power over your life. Your future lies in their hands...
