It is Sunday, we need to relieve tension, and, for both reasons, here is our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke (in multiples!):

====================================

SEVERAL SICK JOKES

 

"Mommy!  The power mower just cut my foot off!"

"Stay outside till it stops bleeding, Dear.  I just mopped."

 

"I don't care WHO you are, Fatso.  Get those reindeer off my roof!"

 

"But Henry, that isn't our baby."

"Shut up, Dear -- it's a better stroller."

 

"Hey -- watch your shooting, man!  You almost winged my wife."

"Dreadfully sorry.  Do have a shot at my wife over there."

 

"Mommy, I hate my sister's guts."

"Shut up and eat what's put in front of you."

:P

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

Nope.

It's not a bad sign neither a good one . They sometimes forget to send it.

You can still send them a letter requesting a new one.

In that Mail do not forget to add a copy of your receipt notice of action, your ID and a signed cover letter requesting the new PF.

I cannot imagine such a n error on your attorney’s part..and I would expect her to make an argument that nothing was lacking in the proper filing. You can review the entire rejected packet and look to see if every page of the submission bears a USCIS stamp. 
NO matter if RFE was in or not, you have grounds for I-290 B… full speed ahead . Within a few weeks you will know if filing another I-485 is warranted. 

I just checked both packages, she did not include the RFE NOTICE in both packages😭😭😭😭😭 that’s why uscis returned it as not needed I think. I don’t want to be rude to her, what should I do?

After I emailed her about that the reason why my i601 was returned because she didn’t include the rfe in it and didn’t include it in the package to the local office, she responded like this “We do not include an RFE notice when filing an I-601. Would you like to find another attorney to represent you? You seem convinced that this is our mistake. If your trust in my work or my office is broken, I cannot continue representing you"

Please remain calm and make sure you're not overly emotional in your email communication. Do you have copies of everything submitted? If not, try getting everything ASAP for your records.

 

You can also gently remind them that you can file a bar complaint in case if the issue is not fixed for free or the fees are not refunded to you.

Yes I ask them to send me everything they mailed to Vermont i601 office and to the local office. And realized that they didn’t include the RFE notice itself in as per @Family advice . @Family advice me to check for that and the rfe was not included indeed. So my lawyer saying they do not file i601 with RFE. I asked her how uscis office will know that I have an RFE for i601 if the notice wasn’t included? And I told her that that is the reason why my application was returned with letter saying that “ the i601 is not needed at this time”

Ouch. She not only erred but doubled down on her error. 

Since she now refuses to represent you , she may refuse to give the I-601 packet ( maybe claim work product?..) but stand your ground…you can get it .

 

You can do an I-290 B on your own, as that is your priority. 
In the I-290 B , focus only on the proof of mailing and show the receipts ..do not mention the missing RFE. Worth the effort and the filing fee…

 

After you file I-290 B , you can file a state bar complaint and yes do ask for your $$ back.  In your complaint also highlight the reason she “ fired “ you as client after you brought up her error that resulted in denial..it’s unethical.
 

Thank you 🙏🏾

This is the stamp I saw on the returned i601 form . What does it mean? They returned it accompanied with that rejection notice saying “they do not need the application at this moment “

Her assistant sent me both packages they mailed to local office and Vermont . I have a copy of them. Maybe she may refuse to give me the original

I believe every RFE contains language that instructs to include copy of this w response. try reading through yours..that applies both to I-601 and receipts mailing to Field Office.
