CSC file damage is true

[Arinlars 19]

I cannot believe this... if this is true and we must do our petitions again they must work on them asap and approved within one month.

Based on the post from yesterday, speculations are all we have on who was affected. It looks like since CSC is stuck on July for 4 months, that July/August may be the affected files. Dang, but 48,000 that is a lot of petitions/applications. It might be from all categories, not just K-1.

It would have to be more than K1, there is probably around 14,000 K1's pending at CSC. Based on their data and recent performance.

The Tier 2 staff informed me that they are processing July 18 applications

Everyone just may as well keep contacting senators and anyone else so that eventually someone can tell USCIS to get busy.

Why would visa petitions be kept anywhere that they could be destroyed by water? It makes absolutely no sense to me. There is not one file in my office building that could be destroyed by water from a plumbing issue. Ridiculous.

I'm really hoping he will.

The Tier 2 staff seem to know as much about the process as we do. I said, what are my options? She said, wait for them to process your case. She tried to reason that they likely weren't damaged, and I said well the first rep said some were, so who do I listen to??

This is crazy! We are almost going on 8 months tomorrow! I am really considering just moving to my fiances country and marrying him and applying as a married couple. Does anyone know how long that process takes? If we keep going with the K1 who knows when he will get here!

1 Corinthians 13:4

Love has long patience, is kind; love is not emulous [of others]; love is

not insolent and rash, is not puffed up,

5 does not behave in an unseemly manner, does not seek what is its own,

is not quickly provoked, does not impute evil,

6 does not rejoice at iniquity but rejoices with the truth,

7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never fails;

that is truth

i at least hope they have a decency of contacting all the people affected or emailing them as soon as possible if it was those kinds of files that were damaged, instead of leaving us waiting with no idea of whats going on, and then months from now informing us that we have to start over because they have lost our papers.

I am sorry for all these CSC filers. However, I just wanted to let you all know that my best friend filed for her husband (Jamaica) back in November 2012 via CSC and received her NOA2 In Feb 2013.

Just sayin

one would think the lockbox for all petitions would have scanned everything into gov/uscis computers before sending the the different centers then again as i recall the embassy's receive the petitions via email before receiving the hard copies

[Adil & Jeanne 296]

I wondered if the person who said files were destroyed wasn't suppose to let it out. Time for each of us to write to our Senators. But remember, old files are stored you know where, in basements, that means my 25 pound RFE from my first application with all the proof is gone. And we went to Italian embassy, and all over for our affivadits. What really worries me is the information is personal and has all our vital statitics. What is it is damaged, how can they guarantee us no one will see any of the papers? How can you shred water soacked documents?

I am fuming and on the brink of doing something very rash.

[cereal 84]

I'm writing to Obama, seriously.

So does the complete original petition always end up being sent to the overseas embassy?
