Can the Beneficiary call USCIS?

[KristiAnn 0]

I'm very frustrated....we haven't heard anything about our NOA1 yet. We sent our package 2 days short of a month ago and it was receved on Feb. 5th. It seems like most people on here are receiving theirs in a week or 2, so this is very frustrating to have it take so long! My husband (the USC) called last week and the person he talked to told him that it was still somewhat within the timeframe that it should normally take, but if we hadn't heard anything in a week to call back. Well, it's been another week now! My hubby was sick at home last week, which is why he had time to call, but this week he is back at work. I have a day off tomorrow, and I was wondering, can I, as the beneficiary, call USCIS or does it have to be the USC? Will they just not give me any information? Just curious...I really want to get this taken care of ASAP! Oh, and our cheque hasn't been cashed yet either...despite me looking every single day I've never been so willing and anxious to part with $355!!

Any advice is much appreciated!

You've got to be kidding! This is madness, how could they take so long? I would have your husband call back and just keep bugging them

USCIS won't talk with beneficiaries during the petition process. Ironically, during AOS, USCIS won't talk with the original petitioner unless the beneficiary is also on the line.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Looks like I'm a nobody at this point in the process eh? I can't talk to anyone! Well, my husband was able to call USCIS again on Monday, and they really had no information for him. They pretty much just told him that it's been very backlogged, more than usual, and they are having a hard time keeping up with the volume...so call back again in a week. Well he's going to try to call back in every couple of days instead. Because this is really disgusting...it's been 2 days short of a month from when they received the package! That's crazy! And this is just the freaking receipt....all I want is our cheque to be cashed.

I'm really frustrated.

I'm really frustrated.

Fully understood, si man. Look at my signature under this post: it took 3.5 months before I got the NOA1. Others have languished even longer. Keep being the "squeaky wheel" vis-a-vis USCIS, and keep the faith.
