Question for you all....

I sent a letter to both of my Senators regarding this whole situation May25th. On Friday I got a letter from Senator #1 who contacted USCIS. The OMB pulled my application and told the senator my application was submitted on the 19th of May(actually it was the 2nd of May). The letter then went on to state about the new form that is coming and the pending RFE's etc. Then on Friday I got a call from Senator #2 asking if there was anything they could do to help.
Here is my question. In contacting them I did not ask for help with my application specifically. I just asked if they could get some answers for me. I did not include my case number but yet USCIS looked at my case and gave Senator #1 my (wrong) petition date. I'm hoping I haven't sh*t canned myself in contacting the senators. Is this possible? I'm concerned about "additional security checks or name hits" or whatever it is called.
Next, I am to call Senator#2 back on Monday with any additional concerns. If I have screwed myself
should I go for the full Monty and have Senator#2 contact USCIS/OMB. I'm inclined to have #2 not make any inquires on my behave at this time until I need them later.
What do you guys think?

Do you guys think there´s any chance these RFEs sent by VSC last week are not about IMBRA?

I think it could be people who would get a RFE anyways, and that would explain the nonsense about the order of NOA1.

Maybe it´s their way to get something done while preparing their staff for the new checks.

Just a thought.

My first thought is that is doubtful - I think they have just screwed up royally, again. on handling this. But I sure hope I am wrong and they take of recalled cases tomorrow!

I am hoping that things are getting on track here. My case was moved to CSC and since I got my notice that they received my case on June 14 I have been touched every day. I assume that they are going through the cases and figuring out which ones need a RFE. It is in their best intrest to get this RFE stuff over with soon. They have a backlog of 10,000 cases now and they need to get to it as soon as they can or they are going to be buried for a long time with pettitioners and lawmakers on their a$$ the whole time. Call me an optimist but I think they are going to get things rolling soon.

Actually I"m an Indiana resident with a LONG...... voting record so maybe that's why I got the fast response.
Or maybe the articles in the papers helped to catch they're attention coupled with my letter..I just don't know. I just got a little nervous when they said the OMB looked at my application....

RLT...you could be right on that....maybe since ours never moved..never recieved noa2...who knows..maybe we forgot something...egads..hope not..........but just a thought here...for those who revieved noa2...isn't that the end of line with uscis?....i mean for those who went on to the embasssies/.....maybe after that they cannot do touches anymore....and all your rfe's will be in the mail......well like i said its just a thought....and i havent had my coffee yet....i just hope everyones went out...and the ball gets rolling..

Yaeh, I thought of that too. I hope you´re right.
I think we need to wait until people get their RFEs.

I´m gonna try and call USCIS now and you let you know how it went..

good luck!

I've got a feeling that this week will be eventful. No info to back it up, just a feeling. Here's to all of us for a good week!!

Checked my status and YES!!!! My RFE is coming! Let´s see how long it will take now, I guess around 5 days to arrive, which is about how long my NOA1 took. YES!!!!

I'm starting to get a wee bit jealous of the VSC people who've gotten their RFE emails. Those SOBs better be going 24/7 on processing is all I have to say!!!

Thanks to everyone who have answered any of my questions that I've posted. I'm somewhat new on here, so I have more questions to ask. Will everyone who filed after March 8 receive an RFE?
All those who got an NOA1 of March 6 or later will get one (eventually).
Even if the female is the petitioner?
Yes.
Does it matter if you met each other in person or on the internet?
It matters only if you used a marriage broker or the USC has applied for a K1 previously or has a serious criminal record.
Does anyone have any idea when they RFE's will be mailed to any of the other servicing centers?
The RFE's will come FROM the centers, and they have already started mailing them.
And one more...sorry about all of the questions. I've read a few responses about the processing dates going in order of when the RFE's are completed and mailed in. Is this true, or is it still based off the original NOA1 date?
It gets muddy here. In theory they will be processing and forwarding March petitions before April and so forth, but noone knows for sure.

Well well I finally got through to VSC on my 4th try! And yes my case is back with them, thank goodness. This is good news for the Russia people. She didn't have a timeline for when the RFE's would go out but she DID recommend filing an expedite request. And since we (the recalled) haven't heard anything I'm going to do that at the end of the week if I don't get an email from them and let you know how it goes.

What good would it be if every body filed an expedite request?

i'm wondering if we'll have to put a signature on the RFE letter?!

I know the answers to the questions, but the RFE will be sent to my home, and I wont be there to sign it in person??? do I have to wait until I get home or what?!!

Congratulations Laura!!! I know it will still be awhile before your NOA2, but at least things are moving!

BTW, I think you have now been officially molested by the USCIS!!! There must be a record of the number of touches?!

As we make it more difficult for them to marry an American,

If am not mistaken, you have to send your RFE letter back, which has your name and case number, so you´ll have to wait for yours.

I hope that´s ´cus of the situation, and not for me.
