I-130 Rejected AT the Chicago Lockbox...and they lost the case?

[dbennett623 0]

I had been worried for weeks as to why the USCIS hadnt cashed the check we sent with the I-130. After searching and searching I finally got a useful customer service rep. They gave me a case rejection number.....the reason was stated as OTHER, and the case was forwarded to the Bahamas. I HAVE Never set foot in the Bahamas(Would love to though). Now my wife and I are trying to see what to do next. We are in Argentina. I sent the packet to my family and it was forwarded from my home in Atlanta. I have no idea where the Bahamas came up. The only sugestion they could give me was that they probably couldnt locate the address, because someone made a data entry error, and for a non existing address they rejected it. He told me to write to the service desk at lockboxsupport...Has this happened to anyone before. They have caused us to lose over a month and a half of our time!!!!!!!Agh.....It seems like with me filing with a forgin address that in that time our case could be almost complete by now if we had any luck! Anyone have similar experiences.....Please help us. What would you do now

The ISO code for the country 'Bahamas' is 'BS'.

Is there a chance that the return/petitioner address be in Bs. Aires? That might explain the data entry faux pas.

My suggestion is that you send in another I-130 and put a stop payment on the check sent with the previous packet. What seems odd, is that, had someone in the office processed your request, the check would have been cashed by now.

All the same it sucks...

I had the same thought. The check was never cashed. I never even found out...because of the address error....I never got the rejection notice.

I just thought it was wierd that no one had cashed the check for over a month. They had all of the information in the system. He asked me a few questions, like my wifes last name and what address we had put......and then read off things that I never shared with him......the rest of the address and my wifes whole name.

The address used wasnt from Buenos Aires. It was from another province. I am waiting to hear back from the service center at lockboxsupport....but It looks like I am going to have to send everything again. So I lost......a month and a half worths of time and shipping.......Not cool. Has this happened to anyone before? I want more details as to why it was rejected....Since when does OTHER qualify as sufficent information. How can I fix OTHER if I dont know what it is? As well how do I know if the error is on my part....or someone just made a COSTLY data entry error at the lockbox? I would also love to know where they sent my package........and my check. When will the federal goverment do something WELL AND EFFICIENT?
