Have you ever heard of this? Where do we go from here?

[Dylan'sWife 2]

After our I-130 petition was approved and the IV bill was paid and the DS-230 was sent in, we waited for our case to be be completed by the NVC and to be sent to Montreal. After about a month my husband called the NVC and they said that right as they were going to forward it to the consulate the USCIS requested it back.

My husband called the USCIS and they said they have no record of this.

My husband called the NVC back and they said it was sent back to the USCIS on Aug 17th.

A friend of the family works in the US consulate in Toronto and he made some inquiries but could not come up with anything as- his boss also spoke to my husband and said he was completely baffled as to why the USCIS would request it back in the first place. My husband had a job for the DND so he already had special security clearance. They also has my police certificate showing I have never been arrested so I really doubt there was any sort of hit on our names. Not to mention that we just had a baby together and there there isn't high instances of immigraton fraud with the US and Canada.

Our lawyer advised us to cancel our still outstanding I-129 petition thinking that may be the cause, ironically enough her letter to them requesting it be canceled crossed with out letter of approval). So again, it couldn't be a false hit, as they wouldn't have approved it if they felt they approved the I-130 in error

Nor have we received a letter stating that we are in any sort of administrative review.

A few weeks later, there was a "Touch" on the USCIS website in regards to the I-130.

Today, my husband met with an immigration officer who said that the she has no record of the USCIS ever requesting it back- nor does she have a record of receiving it from the NVC.

She seemed to think it went to a storage facility they keep applications in for people that are currently in the US on other visas while they await the process. #######?

Could be this but it doesn't make sense if you've already paid the IV fee.

The IV bill was definitely paid.

We didn't pay too much attention to the I-129 not getting approved as we were going to pursue the I-130. I kinda assumed the I-129 got lost but then after 10 months they just sent the approval and currently dated.

A congressional inquiry would have to produce an answer as to where the case is instead of the back and forth you are getting now.

How do we go about doing that? Is that the same thing as getting the Senator involved because my MIL has Sen. Boxer working on it.

[Dylan'sWife 2]

I'd like to add that I am NOT in the US, I am in Canada with our daughter. Our frustration is compounded by the fact that our infant ( who is a USC through her father) has a serious neurological disorder and we are trying to get her into the US asap so she can receive early intervention therapy that is offered by the state.

[Ta Ta 1]

The USC has to sign a release form and his senators or congressman can do the inquiry.

I just saw that the senator is already working on it in your post.

Best wishes

So after a third info pass appointment - my husband was finally able to convince and officer to contact the NVC to find out who requested the case and why. Hopefully, they will find something out.

My husband also said that the officer told him that I have an Alien number assigned to me...does this make any sense because from what I have read that happens when you apply for your Green Card or when you do you AOS. Which we have not done since I am still in Canada waiting for my visa. Does this make sense?

[rika60607 215]

You could have A# assigned to you without ever applying for GC or AOS. I have one, because I applied for employment authorization (EAD) while being in the US on F-1 visa.

I suspect that A# would be assigned to you if you request any kind of document from USCIS.

So yes, may be this part makes sence...

But we haven't applied for anything other than submitting a I-130 petition and a I-129F. The only thing we ever requested was a replacement IV bill since the first on was lost.

You will get an A# from your I-129F application approval. Look at the approval notice, it is on it.

Your A number should be on the NOA2 for your I-129F, directly above the beneficiary's name.

yes- thank you. I talked to my husband again and he said it was on the I-129f not the I-130.

[Dylan'sWife 2]

Just an update, the immigration of officer my husbands been dealing with - in additional to the hotline have told my husband our I-130 has been shipped back to the NVC on Friday. There is no explanation as to why it was requested back in the first place but I imagine it was an obvious error and part of the K-3 problem.

What upsets me more is that it can take another 30-60 days to REACH the NVC, so that will be a totoal of 4 months wasted because of THEIR mistake.

Hopefully, they will take this into consideration when we request a medical expiate because pf the situation with our daughter given the fact that had this not happened, I would be getting ready for my interview right now.

Hi,

Well I am glad to hear that someone has your application somewhere! However, as you say, it is disheartening to know that it might take quite a while to get to NVC (hopefully they will send it right away since as you mentioned it was their mistake).

Hoping for a quick trip to NVC then on to the interview
