So I called USCI-HOWLAMECANTHEYBE-S and inquired yet again about not getting a NOA-2, not getting a update on my case status ( it still reads Feb.26th ! ) and not getting a lousy E mail telling me we are approved. AGAIN, I was told, they will submit a request to God knows who at God knows where and then the person I spoke to AGAIN told me it will likely cost me 200 $...even if the postal lames delivered it to the wrong address or messed up the delivery in any way. Of course, USCIS will not owe up to any responsibility on their end. God forbid ! I cannot for the life of me figure out this highway robbery. Iam wondering if Ken has any fingers for hire???

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

JoanBill, have you called to have them send you the approval notice yet? Nagi, that's what they told me too... Are you going to wait the full 30 days for the request to be sent to CSC or what before seeing if a congressman can get it sent?

No, it will be 30 days on the 11th, and no, I think I will wait on using the big guns, cos ya never know when you will REALLY need them. For something like this, I will just have to wait and see what their next move will be, then try to figure out some battle plan, I guess. :angry:

On the flip side, I already told them to submit the request. I would hope they did and did not screw THAT up , too.

Ditto here. I think I'm going to call them and see if the request was forwarded. If not I'll contact the congressman and explain the problems I'm having and talk them into dealing with it :) Let me know if you hear anything better!

Wow, that sounds like a bunch of bull there...I hope you get it free...two-hundred is two-hundred and I would hate to see you donate money to someone when you didn't get the service you deserve in the first place...

I called three times and all I got was denial that anything was wrong. One woman was totally baffled that I had an MNL number. I am going to be in touch with Senator Akaka's office Monday.

msu17,

You be sure to do the same. The thing is, we already paid for that with the filing fee, or so I thought.

Jeeze, the incompitance there baffles me... The first lady passed me on to someone else who could help me. She was totally confused as well...

' K O Bossy ' ..... 'Moe , Larry , Cheese' !

Uncaring jerks is an understatement, Ken. Friendly and useful is NOT a part of the job requirements there, nor does it have any place in their vocabulary.
