Ok, calling now...So if I am living outside of the US with my spouse, is it true I need to give them my US address in order to open a service request? :)

I think you should always give the address you gave when you filed the petition. Again I am not 100% certain but it sounds like you need to provide US address. May be others can chime in here and confirm? Good luck. :)

Well its just a crazy process, in my humble opinion. Way too much red tape, way too much nonsense, and its because of all that red tape and nonsense that we all have to wait 704 years just to get some

Thank you. On the petition, we gave our Mexican address because that's where I am currently living. Has anyone else on here given an address outside of the US when they made a service request? I guess I could give my parents' address in the US but we have been getting all of our mail from the USCIS here in Mexico already. I'm so confused.

Nope they didn't ask me for my mailing address. I had initially forgotten to provide my email address but then I called again and was able to add email address to the SR.

Hello everybody, I am trying to call USCIS but I've had no luck whatsoever in getting a live person on the phone. Whatever options I choose or not choose I just get the automated voice and then the call ends. Please somebody tell me how to get to a tier 2 rep on the phone. I need to call them to confirm they shipped my case to NVC after my approval; it's been more than a month and NVC says they have not received our case yet.

 

 

I'm the beneficiary, wife of USC.
12/30/2012: Got engaged.
1/16/2013: Got married in India.

I-130:
2/28/2013: Attorney mailed the I-130 from a U.S. address.
3/4/2013: Priority date, NOA1.
11/6/2013: Case was transferred to Nebraska Service Center.

1/6/2014: 60 days of transfer are up, put in an e-request, given 30 days' time. Contacted the senator. Senator asked to wait till Feb 6 and if nothing then she will do something.
2/5/2014: Website status changed to RFE.
2/10/2014: Attorney gets RFE. They need G325A and photos of both me and husband, original marriage certificate, copy of marriage record and it's translation.
2/15/2014: Mailed the requisite documents to husband.
2/19/2014: Documents received by husband.
2/24/2014: RFE mailed.
2/26/2014: Case status changed to RFE review.
3/6/2014: After 367 days, NOA2.

After approval kept calling NVC but NVC always had one reply, file was not in their system. Husband too called USCIS National Customer Service Center and was told case was sent to NVC.
4/2/2014: Write to NSCFollowup to know about the status of the petition.
4/10/2014: Put in a ?service request with USCIS starting with OVP to locate case.
4/16/2014: Reply from NSCFollowup that the U.S. law prohibited that office from responding to anyone other than the petitioner and to have the petitioner contact them.
4/18/2014: Sent email to NVC Research to locate the case.
4/22/2014: Petitioner sent email to NSCFollowup
5/14/2014: Receive email from NVC Research that they do not have a record of receiving the petition.
5/16/2014: Congressman's immigration caseworker contacted supervisor at NSC who said the petition is pending and will be dispatched in two weeks.
5/27/2014: Petitioner received response from NSCFollowup that the case was pending an internal extended review. Really?
6/19/2014: USCIS case status change, "On June 19, 2014, we shipped this case..."
7/1/2014: Case received at NVC.
7/14/2014: NVC case number assigned.
8/1/2014: AOS and IV fees invoiced.
8/2/2014: AOS and IV fees paid.
8/5/2014: AOS and IV fees status changed to paid.
8/6/2014: AOS and IV packages mailed, completed and submitted DS-260.
8/7/2014: AOS and IV packages delivered to NVC.
8/8/2014: AOS and IV packages put into the system (scanned).
9/20/2014: Get the 60-day email.
9/30/2014: Case Complete!
10/3/2014: Interview scheduled for November 7.

I posted the same message in your original thread. Take a look.

Here is how to get them in 30 seconds.

When you dial 1800 number, press 1,2,2,2 and someone will answer your call in 30 seconds. :D

And when you speak with CS Rep, ask him/her to transfer your call to Tier 2 right away as you have been waiting for over a month to be transferred to NVC. Tier 2 should be able to tell you exactly where your file is. Good luck and keep us posted! :)

Yours is very unique case. I am totally surprised to see that you got transferred to local office. I suggest you should also contact the local office. You should have received a transfer notice in the mail. follow the instruction on it.

I think. It went to the Detroit office because the beneficiary is already in the US. Did you also file an I-485 at the same time as the I-130 to adjust status?

I actually tried doing it online and of course, there was an "error" with my receipt number (or an error with their web site). I am debating calling back today.

The same thing happened to me with the receipt number error online. Good to know I'm not the only one. My PD is 10/1, so I am going to try to call in a service request this week too, for what it's worth.

They absolutely refused to make a service request for me. That was the 2nd time calling a Tier 2 and this time I even spoke to the supervisor of the Tier 2 rep and they still would not do anything. They told me I had to wait the 60 days from the transfer date like it said on my hard copy transfer notice. ANNOYING!
