Building my file up and I still don't know how to contact USCIS from here in the UK if I need to:

The 1-800 number is only for the USA

thought I saw an overseas number somewhere last year...

We are filing direct with Nebraska as the London Embassy won't touch it for US Citizens who are resident in the UK for less than 2 years...

Does anyone know the number or is it necessary to go through London even though they are not handling the case ?

I reckon the USCIS don't accept emails - nor do they answer letters

thanks alan

Don't know if there is an "international #" to call.. but regardless, the USCIS reps suck big time.. the USCIS helpline is better known as the "Mis-information line" on VJ. Once you get the NOA1 with the USCIS case #, you should sign up at the USCIS website for automated case status updates. The information you find there is pretty much what the USCIS reps will tell you anyway.

Use Skype to call 800 numbers in the US. That's what I did! Good luck!

really !!!! I will try it - good thinking - thank you-alan
