I don't know if the Ombudsman will talk to the beneficiary. Maybe you can write it for him and have him forward the email to them?

That's a good idea. Thanks hope you can enjoy the holidays!

Btw thank god for this forum, it's so great knowing I'm not the only one, and all the help on here is fantastic. <3

I hope that you all have a Happy Holiday as well. And I really hope that someone is working at the USCIS Service Centers for the next few days.

Just knowing that we're not alone is both great and completely infuriating.

Well I just called USCIS just to see if they are open and well ..... Yes they are but no sure at what capacity they are working . Atleast this sounds like a good news that they are working today.

On the other hand on a not so much happier note I asked them about the 60 days on my transfer letter and they told me that it doesn't matter. Until the Service center shows that they tte processing applications with a date of April 20, they cannot create a service request( My NOA is April 16). So now even though the letter I received said that I should receive a response in 60 days ...... That means nothing.

*facepalm* What was the point in even putting that letter in with the transfer notices then? Just a waste of paper and resources if the still have no accountability and we still have no recourse even when they don't follow through with their promises. Maybe try emailing the service center? If they don't answer within 21 days, then you can escalate the issue to Service center HQ?

It seems useless. We are pretty much at their mercy. What I don't understand is that how can you've to May or June and in some cases October applications when March and April filers are still sitting. We truly ate being penalized for applying on time or before time. What happened to first come first serve.

No offense to anyone and by that I mean people who are applying in natural disaster zones ..... But everyone who has a legitimate case should and must apply and get approve but only through proper channel and when it's your turn. It's like we are standing in a line to check out and then group of people just walk in and stand ahead of us ....... This is just so wrong. These applications used to take only 5-6 months. With the amount of money they charge you would have that one would get proper and prompt service.

I don't think it will be an issue, unless you didn't provide enough documents to them where they question your relationship is not real.

I think they attach the pictures to the documents.... almost to prove its really you when you show up to the interview. I heard that somewhere. also, there have been alot of RFE's asking for missing documents. Photos included.

If I were you, I'd go get some passport pictures taken ( both of you ) and have them ready incase you get an RFE. If by chance they don't ask for them at this stage, You will need them for NVC and interview anyway. I'd rather have them on hand and send them right away instead of scrambling last minute... but thats me.

Things are sure looking hopeless being stuck at TSC...and the sad thing is that there is no one at USCIS that can be held responsible for this nightmare that everyone is dealing with!

[livstrong 15]

Not hearing anything from no one. I know the offices are open and even if they are working at half the capacity then how come we are not hearing anyone getting approved. Does this mean we will have to wait until after New Year to see some work get done? Ahhhhh.....

Good to hear they are working..... It's good for you too that atleast your case got transferred but now the waiting begins. From here on forward you have to completely rely on the processing dates on USCIS and not the 60 days that came with your letter.

March and then April. Mine was transferred to CSC. What surprises me is that even for CItizens it's taking more time. They used to on top of the priority list ..... I guess now it's a level plain field ... Lol
