Actually, you CAN...but you have to be physically able to have the petitioner available on the same call so they can authorize USCIS to speak to you. So, he'll still have to talk to them first and then hand the phone to you because under NORMAL circumstances they do not want to talk to the petitioner at all.

I do have first-hand proof that this is possible (but not easy). My husband and I did exactly this - he wasn't getting the right information so I called USCIS while he had me on Skype. I turned my phone around so that USCIS and my husband could actually talk through my Skype headset, and once he'd confirmed some information and gave his permission they could speak with me freely. It was a tricky process and we weren't sure it would work, although if you were on a visit you could certainly make it happen easier.

USCIS will not talk to the beneficiary. The only time they will let you talk or accept your presence when the petitioner is also on the call and his/her identity is checked and passed. Impersonation is a serious offense and not recommended in any case. You can tell them that you are the petitioner but if it raises any suspicion, the outcome could be disasterous. So why taking that risk?

Thank y'all for the quick response i guess i'll just have to wait but it is so frustrating being in the dark after over 5 months of waiting

OVER 160 days and counting

Normal processing time is 6 months.

With all due respect, you are the one who needs to calm him down. The end result of what you are seeking here is lifetime marriage, and there will be times one of you is upset with something a third party does or fails to do. During those times, the other one of you will be stuck with the arduous task of bringing him or her back to earth.

This is a very slow process. Yeah, I know it can be done faster, much faster. But we are dealing with goverment, an entity that has two speeds: Slow and stop. There is no solution but to put up with the very slow speed. There will be other steps along the way that will take longer than they should. Get used to it because this is the reality of this process.

The good news is that waiting for your I-797 (NOA2 as it is called here) is the slowest one of those steps.

I was the beneficiary and never once was denied on a phone call. As the beneficiary I was the only one to call my husband never called. So yes you can call, it depends who answers on the other side.

ppl worldwide, why be pissed remember its a

privilege not a right, anxiety takes a hold at times

but pissed? hope you get good news soon
