I90 name change denied

I tried calling USCIS today and was connected to the automated system who asked me questions. They said based on all that i do not meet the criteria for scheduling. I feel so lost.

When you called, did you say “info pass”?

I called again and did that. I was connected to an agent who said I've been put in the scheduling queue so an officer will get back to me within 30 days.  Last time I went through this the officer called and asked if there was an emergency. I said no and then he said they were only scheduling emergency appointments. So I don't know what to say next time they call if they're only scheduling emergency appointments.

Book a flight

Would that be an emergency? Wouldn't they ask why I booked one when I've lost my green card? My aunt has cancer and I'd really like to visit her but I don't want to have to ask her for her medical records to prove that. I also would really love for my son to be able to meet the rest of his family.

You’ve described an emergency. Book a  fully refundable flight, get the ADIT, then book a cheaper non refundable flight and go (for less than 181 days).

Happy to get a non refundable flight. Do you have an idea of when I should book the flight for? Thank you.

I have no idea because I do not know when you will get your ADIT.

>30 days later and no call. What a surprise.

very sorry about that, I went through a similar issue that not getting the stamp would interfere with travel plans so I really get how frustrating that is.

 

Have you tried contacting your representative about it? When they got back to me (too late for my trip but regardless) things moved real fast and I got a stamp within weeks and a green card 4 months later.

 

I would also just keep calling uscis for an emergency appointment every day. You get a different person, try for an emergency call back and if they don't do it call again. At some point I was in line for 3 different call backs by sheer stubbornness. Hope something works out for you!

Thank you, it really is so stressful. 
 

we got our lawyers involved and they managed to get me an appointment. After waiting for three months for a call back, they managed to get one within a week. I finally have my adit stamp so I’m pretty relieved.
