It doesn't surprise me that the timelines are different for Cubans...the Cuban-American community wouldn't stand for it any other way...

Thanks guys......obviously they've found that lost crate! I hope they'll keep on working on it now and clear out the rest of our June and July petitions

Congratulations

I hope somebody who gets approved from july or later calls and asks what dates they are processing, and when they say may18-june 18 says, umm, but mine is from november and i was just approved?? duh

In your timeline it says that Ombudsman filed a formal inquiry...could you explain what you did and what he is doing???

I filed form DHS-7001 with the ombudsman. It's for people seeking an immigration benefit (like I129f) who are having problems with USCIS. It's a simple form where you fill in your info and describe your problem.

Ombudsman takes it up with USCIS and you get an answer within 45 days. Much of the ombudsman's work is aimed at fixing the overall problems and I think he uses the complaints to get an idea of those so I am afraid it may not help much more than congressperson's inquiry. But what else can we do. I tried to add a link to the form below. Also it has to be mailed, not e-filed.

If you experience problems with a pending USCIS immigration benefit, please submit your case problem using Form DHS-7001, CIS Ombudsman Case Problem Submission. This form is attached to this message, and also available on this website: http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/cisomb_dhsform7001.pdf. If you submit a case problem on behalf of another individual with a pending USCIS immigration benefit, please obtain the individual’s signature in Section 15: Consent on Form DHS-7001, CIS Ombudsman Case Problem Submission.

For any stat-happy people, I posted some comparisons of filers left, CSC vs VSC, over on the CSC thread. You can find the post here. Enjoy!

Hey All,

Happy Friday.

Just a quick question:

i sent back my RFE with the requested documents early this week. i know it arrived and was signed for yesterday morning. How long should i wait before i contact VSC to see if they've resumed my case? i've been scrolling through the posts and i've noticed that for most couples they resume processing almost immediately? Should i just breathe and try to wait it out till Monday?

Thanks!

Should i just breathe and try to wait it out till Monday?

Yes, I recommend breathing. The alternative can cause undesired ramifications.

A couple of thoughts:

1. If you call, you will obtain 3 possible outcomes; no information, misinformation or accurate information. If it is either of the two latter outcomes you won't know which of the two you received so it will be useless. On the other hand, if they give you no information the call will also be useless. So the 3 possible results are all useless. Therefore, I conclude that it will be uh, what is the word I am looking for... oh yeah, USELESS to call.
2. If things proceed normally, you should see an update soon in your USCIS website online status that says that processing has resumed. Once that occurs you can call VSC customer service and they will look at the same information you can see online and read it to you. This is the ONLY service that customer service provides. They provide this very valuable service for people who cannot read it for themselves because they are illiterate or visually impaired or don't have computers.
3. If there are no additional complications you might see a decision within a couple of weeks. It is also possible that you will not see a decision for a long time. The only way to know which of the two scenarios applies to you is to wait and see what happens. There is absolutely no way that VSC customer service is going to tell you in advance because they do not know.
4. In the time it took you to post this question you could have called VSC. Wouldn't it have been better to have just called and conserved the valuable space in the forum for members with big huge billboard sized photos of themselves in their signatures so that we can all see them over and over and over again?

Sorry for the sarcastic tone. I know what you are going through. Try to relax and be patient. The chances are good that you will have a decision soon. Good luck!
