March (2012) filers...

[islandgal 74]

Congrats! I hope the rest of your journey with USCIS goes more smoothly!

Thanks! It's your turn now!!

RES--- I can't remember the rest of his user name because it's digits! But he was a later February filer (I 'think' the 28th?), having issues with CSC and his military clearance.

As a side note, I got all the papers together for the senator today and faxed them over so hopefully they can do something. I explained we had tried to get help from Congress, but things seemed at a standstill. They said it would take about 5 days to hear back to them due to the volume of cases I swear, one more day seems like too much at this point. I'm thinking 'IF' they help us that is five days to hear from them, a few days for them to do something about it, and however long it takes for USCIS to do something on their end. I still feel a long way off from that NOA2.

Good for you!! At least you are pushing back!!

Geeze, I really hope so!

Yes, I just now got off the phone with USCIS and talked to a supervisor whom said that they can't do anything for a few more days until my first service request times out. At that point I can call in and put in a follow up service request. I feel like I am just beating my head against a brick wall. Anyhow, she couldn't answer if my case was being held up for any specific reason. I thought supervisors could do that? Is that not correct? She didn't seem to know anymore than the girl who answered the phone at first. Do I need to ask to talk to an immigration officer next time I call or what?

So, here's a question. I'm not sure if I ever asked this before, everything is blurring together now... bear with me. About 7 years ago I got caught driving on a suspended license that I was actively in the process of getting taken care of with my lawyer. Still, I had to get about and made the stupid mistake of driving on it before my case was done with. It was suspended because I forgot to pay a ticket for speeding in a school zone (which I didn't realize was a school zone when I was driving through it at normal speed! Oops!) Anyways, it was all really embarrassing and I got arrested! I couldn't believe it! I've never been in trouble for anything else EVER. It was super scary. Anyways, my lawyer got it turned into a non-moving violation. What I was arrested for though was "Fugitive From Justice" which is because I had a bench warrant for the suspended license and not paying the ticket. However, like I said I was in the process of getting it fixed THAT WEEK with my lawyer. Bad timing. So, I was told that for something to hold up your case it has to be a criminal background. All I have is that driving thing, but is 'Fugitive From Justice' Criminally? It sounds so... criminal. I'm starting to worry that may have something to do with it. But then wouldn't they have mentioned that in the RFE? Or if they got to the RFE that should mean they are done with all the background checks and everything else besides that one little bit of missing evidence, right? Phew, long one! Sorry, I worry/stress!

That brings light to the case. I'll bet they had to make an inquiry to the local court to make sure the case was cleared, and that was the hold up?

If you called and talked to a Tier 2, that is an immigration officer. I would keep calling. You've nothing to lose and might get someone who will sympathize with you and dig a little deeper. I know that my congresswoman, after my third fax, sent a response that she had "notified the proper authorities at USCIS".. which was different than usual. Keep pestering them, too. No excuse, especially during election year!

It's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that this could be based on a traffic violation from 7 years ago... But I can't figure any other reason. And, yes, we'll see what happens with our case next week. That's when our service request runs out anyhow so I will call them daily at that point. Relentlessly, over and over and over again!

Possibly. Back then did you check to ensure it was in fact change to a lower charge in the county's system?

Well, that was what my -very well paid- lawyer told me, who is now a judge. So, no, I haven't checked, but I trusted him to do it properly. I could see it not being done properly if he had been court assigned or something, but he wasn't... Though, if I got the RFE I would assume that everything is cleared BUT the evidence, yes?

You're correct. If your RFE was for something completely different, then you're good. It's just the slackness of the person who has your file sitting on their desk OR it being overlooked because you placed your photos on top of the blue sheet.

[TigerFlower 61]

Would it be possible to resubmit them? Of course , you don't have that blue sheet anymore. An immigration officer must be able to look it up.

Dargh! The photos! maybe... though they were 4x6 and just up at the top corner so you could still see the blue sheet. I don't know. I feel like I'm going nuts here! I'm going to go make some lunch and try to distract myself with something for a bit. Maybe a movie...

I don't think I could re-submit everything because it says you needed the ORIGINAL blue sheet. It made a big point about that. We will see. I'm going to let this service request time out and then get back on them next week. By next Friday I can start pestering them again

Have you checked your stack? Or people with similar receipt # like you? I've been checking and that's how I knew it was close...
