I filed I 130 may 20 2009, transfered to los angeles sept 26 2009. I received letter to make appointment with info pass to Los angeles request more information. I went to los angeles today. Waited an hour before I was called. They said my case was in transit. They did not have my case there. I showed them the letter from uscis for me to go there in person to give more info. she said she did"t know why but my case was in transit to a storage facility!!! She tells me she guesses someone was having a bad day when they sent the letter to me! WHAT??? She said she would get my file back to los angeles and come back in 3 weeks! I asked how will I know if my case is even here in 3 weeks! I asked to speak with a supervisor, was told they are all in a meeting. She did take my number and says!!!! she will check on my case daily and call me when it arrives 3-5 weeks. She said I can call the 800 number, I told her that was useless, she said don"t speak to the first person that answers that is only contractors working for uscis, I must ask for an immigration officer, I never Knew this before!! I thought when I called I was speaking to a uscis employee. She said they are contractor and U must ask for an immigration officer. 11 months and still waiting for approval

That's why in the army acronym "SNAFU*" the "FU" doesn't stand for "fouled up."

It's the government's way of saying "have a nice day."

*The "SN" stands for "situation normal."

That must be extremely frustrating. Out of cuiosity, why did you wait so long to figure out why it was taking so long?

You're even behind in contacting your congressman. Contact him/her NOW, don't wait another 2 weeks!

After my case went to los angeles I called the 800 number and was told I had to wait 6 months after transfer to request an update!
