But he did give me the name of the Vermont director, and suggest I write directly to her to find out what has become of our application. I'm drafting the letter now.

The Vermont director is a she? I thought the VSC director's name is Paul Novak?

I was given the name Susan Buschie.

Hmmm. It seems that Sandra Bushey is on the website as the deputy director. He didn't even get her name right-- what a helpful guy I spoke to... :blink:

Just one more thing:

I checked OMB website and the I129F is no longer listed as a PENDING REVIEW application as it still was this morning.

:)

Everything´s been done and approved.

We only need USCIS to send the RFEs.

I couldn´t talk to an officer today but will try again tomorrow.

As we know they all say different things, I´d appreciate if you guys could call them and ask if they have already sent any, or when they will start doing that.

I called and was told You need to wait until they send you an RFE... I asked when that might be and was told that info has not been addressed yet :unsure:

Here is my opinion on the answers you received from the service center today. They always like to give you the worst case scenario, because they don't want to be liable for giving you the wron information. Just like the timelines they list. Things always get done before the actual number of days they state. SO when you called them today, they don't want to tell you, yes you will get your RFE this week or next week, because if they told you this and for some reason you don't receive it then you got major beef with them. The other problem is they need to send out 10,000 of these, and who knows how thye are handling this issue. So they really can't say when each of us will receive ours, because I am sure they can't send them all out at once. They probably have some system set up. Maybe they will send all those with petition dates in March there RFE's the first week, and so on and so on. I don't think they want to send 10,000 out at once, and then receive 10,000 in the same week. They may stagger them. I am just very optimistic about them saying IMMEDIATELY, because they always give you the worst case scenario.

Wait until the first person gets their RFE and posts it. This will cause major stress for those who don't receive their RFE's that same day. Where is our RFE? Why did he get his and we didn't get ours? I feel just like the rest of you on this, my nerves are shot, all I think about all day at work is, when am I going to get my RFE, what are they going to request? I just can't wait for this to be all over, and our cases are on their way. We are owed an apology, and the consulates and embassies better expedite our cases back to the original postition without further delay.

Good Luck Everyone!!!

The new I-129F is out. Not the draft. The actual form.

The IMBRA thing didn´t even add too much to the form.

If they had paid attention to this earlier, none of this would be happening now.

I just wonder if they will process the cases received with the new form before getting the RFEs back..

We better start getting the RFEs soon!!!
