Congratulations! I would still report the infopass appointment - once you have the card in hand.

Congratulations!

I find it staggering that you were treated so badly though, and by the very people you would expect to sympathise with your situation! As others have said, you should definitely file an official complaint once you have your greencard in hand.

ok, here's my story: please

I came over here legally last march on K1, got legally married in May, sent out AOS application 2 days after wedding.

Got notified that my file was transferred to california in June.

Biometrics done in July. Got EAD in August. everything went well.

Then, no updates on my AOS til December 2007. So I called customer srvice and they advised me to make an infopass appointment.

Had infopass today and I am totally shocked of how unprofessionally we were treated.

First the imigration officer told us that my case was never received in California. He said that his screen shows that it went to Missouri and it was denied there.

we never got notified or anything.

Then he gave us a whole new application kit to inquire about our denied case but he noted that it might take at least 6 months to get answers. we insisted that there had to be another way, there's no reason that they should deny our case without ever sending us an RFE or any note.

So he came up with a phone number for the Missouri office. So we called the Missouri office still at the infopass place and they told us they won't give us any information. They'd only speak to an imigration officer.

The imigration officer who gave us the number then refused to talk to the guy in Missouri.

So we asked to speak to his supervisor and thats when things got really nasty.

supervisor was a korean lady with very bad english, could hardly understand her.

Whenever she said anything she yelled at us like we were naughty little kids or breaking the law.

she said that we had no right for an infopass apt unless we were waiting for our case to be approved for longer than 4 years!!!!!!

then she said that all the people at uscis are idiots and they have nothing to do with Infopass . she claims uscis customer service would send people to her to beg for food stamps. she even asked us if we were going to ask her for food stamps!!!! #######?????

then she looked back into our case and claimed that my file is at csc and I'd have to wait for an interview up to 4 years!

I thought u don't have to interview if your case it at California service Center?

then she started screaming at us : "you want a fu--ing greencard? you have to go to a fu--ing interview, everybody has to go to an interview"

she got so nasty everybody in the room was scared. My husband asked her to please be civil and not talk to us like that but all she did was scream and ask weird questions over and over like what he does for a living ("u don't look like you work")

we were literally kicked out of there with no answers. I am in shock of how we were treated. We did everything the legal way, we were always friendly. My husband and I are both professionals but we were treated like #######.

I am totally confused about what to do now. is there another instance that we could inquire about our case? Has anyone here ever been denied for their Greencard?

My online status says that my case is pending in California but crazy-korean-lady said that means nothing and it's going to take us years to finally get approved.

I'm so confused and angry and sad!!! I would really appreciate any advice!

That is awful! So sorry you had to go through that, especially while being pregnant. I hope you guys can get things straightened out.

Next time someone in a government office treats you that way, ask to see an administrator immediately.

Congratulations, I am so happy for you! I knew it would all get sorted out once you got your congressman involved! The lady who works immigration at my congressmans office (Chicago area) is the nicest and really helped me too with EAD and AP. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and put up some pics once the baby is born!

Congratulations! I am glad to hear the good news!

I too would suggest that you should file a complaint about that lady. She was out of line.

[zqt3344 21]

Hate to say it, but that is why I recommended you go see the Congressman's office, amazing how suddenly and amazingly after you go to see Congressman's office and file Congressional inquiry, things just happen to get moving all of a sudden again for you and surprise you get the GC. ahhah Good work on your part, nice to hear it is all working out for you.

The Korean woman you unfortunately met at the Infopass needs to be fired. She verbally abused you, treated you appalingly, and clearly doesn't understand the immigration process or her role within it. I would certainly lodge a formal complaint and if you can afford it, get a lawyer on her a$$. She might reconsider her actions when she is unemployed. With her attitude, its not like she is going to get a job anywhere else, nor deserves to.

oops sorry - forgot to add "Congratulations" !!

here's an update on my dilemma: we went to our congressman in New york City and the lady who helped us was sooooo nice! She called CSC and they confirmed that my case is at their office. They said that the average processing time is 270-300 days though... But that's fine with me as long as they're working on it - I can wait.

Just got home and the nice lady from the congressman's office called and said that she just got off the phone with the supervisor in CA- they're doing my name clearance as I'm typing this and the supervisor was positive that I'd get the GC in the mail within the next 8 weeks!!

My online status doesn't show an update yet but I am sooo happy and exited that we finally got some answers!!

Also- the congressman said that they hear about the craziest stories of peoples' Infopass experiences every day.

crazy korean lady should be smacked in the face for causing such trouble!!

thank you for all your encouraging mails and replies!! I feel so much better!

thats a great news! wow Congratulation happy for you!
