I-130 almost a year?

[Vic20r 14]

yay - don't forget the email link at the bottom of this page - it's really useful .

Yes i did include that link.

[Vic20r 14]

ok - some triage.

you've got a receipt number , in the I-797-C formletter, the 'receipt notice' postal mail.

Get an ISO at the Toll Free number listed in the NOA-1, inquire with the ISO:

1. where's the casefile currently?

2. when was the casefile last touched by a human?

3. any returned postal mail pieces ? if so, what are they? RFE? Notice of Approval? also, if so, ask for them to be remailed to the address the petitioner gives the ISO.

4. any returned mail pieces? (stuff to do at home, not with the ISO) print out, on laser printer, all names for the address, tape to the inside of the post box and/or mail slot lid. Then, (this is no joke) bake 2 dozen brownies. Meet up with yer postal carrier face to face, give one set of 12 brownies, introduce yourself. Later in the week, meet up with the postal carrier again (it may be another human), give over the 2nd dozen set of brownies. If the postal carrier says it's not on his/her diet, ask him to take them back to the postal station, give to his co-workers. It's very possible the USPS Postal carrier simply got lazy, or thought 'that name' was not at 'that address'.

Then, report back here when you have more data, as it may be something else has popped up; you'll learn that (rather, the USCitizen Petitioner will) during the phone call.

An ISO can see the same things that a shift supervisor can see, at an InfoPass appointment at a local USCIS office. I have a sinking feeling that yer spouse NOT get someone with God Access at that infopass appointment. Do note the first human you get with the National Hotline is NOT an ISO, that's just a CSR, a Tier-1 subhuman contracted out from SERCO Inc.

Keep at it!!

Now, at some point, starting a service request is useful. IMO, for now, it's not needed. Later perhaps, and soonish perhaps, but not for 'this next round' o contact.

Hi Darnell, I called my husband this morning and he told me that tier 2 guy said that the our case was no longer there anymore. The guy said that he will contact NVC and will inform my husband after 15 days. What does this mean?

The info was pretty unclear for me since my husband is in the grocery. I will talk to him later when he is home.

This is just sounding fishier and fishier.

The petition is no longer at USCIS.....no approval notice, no RFE, no denial notice....???

I just have simple question....has OP actually seen a physical copy of the I-797C?

My mistake. My husband said when he called USCIS, he got to press certain number then a girl answered, my husband asked to talk to tier 2 and when he finally talk to the guy, he said that he cannot access information and my husband should wait for 15days for their reply.

And my husband thinks that we cannot call NVC yet because our case is still at USCIS, so he thinks NVC don't get our information until USCIS will forward it to them

Hi everyone!

Exactly 1 year since we filed our I-130, my husband received a reply from Ombudsman:

"On behalf of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), thank you for the Form DHS-7001 dated August 14, 2012, to the DHS Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman regarding the status of your Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. This Form DHSo7001 has been assigned case #.....

We regret the time it is taking to process your Form I-130 petition. USCIS records show that the processing of this case has been delayed because the required USCIS review is still in process. Until the required review is completed, this agency cannot move forward on this case.

Please understand that the review is part of the process of adjudicating cases of a similar nature. While an exact date for completion of the review is not known at this time. USCIS will make every effort to make a decision on your case as soon as the review is completed.

We appreciate your continued patience and understanding. If you need additional assistance or filing instructions, we invite you to visit our website at www.uscis.gov or contact our National Customer Service Center at 1-800--375-5283.

Sincerely,

Ellen Hannon

so, have the USCitizen Petitioner Spouse call in today, to USCIS

and

get a Tier 2 Human again,

then inquire for casefile status.

If 'they' still can't figure it out, then ask the Tier 2 Human to start a service request , to find the casefile.

what is it you have to say to get Tier 2 rep aside from asking I want to speak to Tier 2 rep? Because they seem VERY reluctant to transfer the call...
