After our wedding we went to that same restaurant he took me to for our first date, and he retrieved that napkin he'd given to our serve. On it was written the date we came in and " You've made my heart smile the moment i saw you walk through that door. You don't know it yet but i'm gonna make you my wife, never again will i ever be without you". That's my story :wub:

Nope, they refuse to believe the letter got lost in the mail like I told them twice already and they say they can't send me another one before the 15 day mark.

I told her "lets be real here, if the other letters came in the mail 3 days later and it has been 11, this letter is not coming". The answer was "you never know, maybe it is delayed at the post office for some reason" They will send a new letter when I call on monday, with the original date and dateline.

They just don't want to admit that they screw it and the letter got lost/they lost it.

I did an appointment for an Infopass, October 1st was the first date available in Downtown Chicago (1.5 hours away with no traffic). I have to go for my Biometrics on friday.

I'm so upset right now with them that is not even funny anymore

This is absolutely ludicrous. Don't expect them to admit to their mishap. It'll never happen. Just try to keep your cool when you speak to them

I am as polite as I can be. The conversations are being recorded and in case the letter doesn't come on time to answer the RFE and the I-485 gets denied, I have enough basis to fight for it, hence why I'm being nice on the phone.

But even calling again and asking for a Tier 2 ISO wont help right now. Is not like they will fetch my letter and read it to me on the phone or something (even tho I really want to)

day 28 --> today it's the first day with my visa expired!!! aaarrgh!!! and expired OPT!

I hope work doesn't realize that until a couple weeks from now! -i am hoping in 2 weeks I´ll have the interview notice!

and if no RFE till now maybe everything went ok with sponsoring! I won´t feel safe until a week from now (day 35)

I am as polite as I can be. The conversations are being recorded and in case the letter doesn't come on time to answer the RFE and the I-485 gets denied, I have enough basis to fight for it, hence why I'm being nice on the phone.

even if they read it on the phone, you have to attach that letter to your RFE package (i think). so nothing to do before. it really sucks, but keep your blood cold and spirits high. just 2 weeks compared with a lifetime. And you won´t be out of time for responding, I think it's about 45 days to respond.

Correct, but I can start getting whatever they are asking for if I don't have it already. Time varies, tho.

I am so sorry that you still didnt get your letter. I have the feeling they lost it in mail because I got mine on Saturday and I am in Arizona. It is far from MO. There is no way I got it and you did not. Hope you get this solved soon.
