How do I send an email to USCIS?

[TucsonBill 0]

Hi, I notice from reading the posts that some people email USCIS.

I have been checking other applicant signatures on this forum, and I notice that many get 'touches' within a week or two after receiving the NOA1, its been two weeks for me and not even a touch. (I know some people have waited much longer etc).

I also notice that sometimes an email has results.

At any rate, I don't see a link for sending emails on the USCIS website, how do I do it?

Honetly, USCIS is up to their eyeballs in old petitions. People email USCIS when thigns are wrong - nothing is wrong with your case. 2 weeks is nothing in the scheme of things.

Good luck & be patient.

Bill, just to make sure you know how to recognize touches, read this thread: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...c=22852&hl=

Apparently, CSC has stopped accepting e-mails. In any case, there was only one guy in charge of replying and he wouldn't add any info to the one you get online by checking for updates.

Just out of curioisity I went back to see how patient you have been, here your appliation was just sent:

I'm so annoyed, I sent my app on Friday for Saturday delivery, paid extra for that & they left it in Omaha til today. So it's not there at NSC but should be by 10:30AM. I'm so angry! Not about the money, which I will get back, just the timing, because, as we know, it's all about timing here.

One month:

oops, I meant NSC to CSC.

Did anyone get touched after the June 1st mass transfer besides me?

I'm more hopeful things are moving there now...

Less than two months:

No freaking RFE. NO online update. My senator's office called CSC's DIRECTOR on Monday & STILL hasn't heard back.

Feeling very very depressed & pissed off.

Yes, I know some are coming but it freaking feels like it all will take much longer, every damn week is more wasted time.

Hehe!!

You'll also find CSC's e-mail address there. Good luck.

Since I have joined the USCIS site I have never seen where I have been touched . I checked daily almost on the hour. I do not think being touched means much, but this is just me speaking.

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY

Nice to see you stalking me.

If you notice, after 2 weeks did I do anything about contacting USCIS? NO. It was more like 6 & even then it wasn't to USCIS but to find the staus of apps post-IMBRA.

Once again, 2 weeks is nothing.

Bill, it's not uncommon for people submitting to the CSC to go the first 4 months without anything being done. Especially those filing in the middle of summer/ early fall because there is a large volume during that time.

As to email, generally sending an email does not change anything or ensure your file is looked at. In some cases you will get some useful information since the person who responds has access to the real computer system, not the one used by the slugheads at the national customer diservice center.

Finally, from my and other's experience the last service center with email appeared to stop reading them and respond with a generic letter requesting to call the national customer diservice center as of the first of August so I'm afraid you're out of luck anyway.

Um, I 'stalking' might be a little strong of a word. I'm simply researching timelines. I also notice that there are people who submitted thier applications in march '06 still waiting, and you got your NOA2 pretty quickly in comparison! If anything, it adds to my theory that 'maybe the squeeky wheel gets the grease'...

At any rate, I just wanted to show that saying 'just be patient' is easier to say when you start seeig the light at the end of the tunnel.

Yes, it's creepy that you go back to research my posts from when i began.

I know I received it faster than many of my March friends. I'm lucky.

However, 87 days is still a far cry from your few weeks. And there was no light in this process until last Monday.

Um, again, it was just out of curiosity - all I did was click your member name, and click the profile button, and 'find members posts' - it took me all of 30 seconds to do. Sorry if you feel 'stalked' but I think you're over reacting - just a bit...

Regarding the email address at USCIS:

I sent an email over an hour ago, and I did not get an 'auto reply' so I do not think the email address has been 'closed' - I think that 'maybe' people are getting canned replys depending upon the context of thier inquiry.

I put only my case number in the subject line, and simply asked if there had been any progress made on my case, (very vague).

My thinking is that if the person getting the emails can from the context, just 'assume' that the email is just a standard 'why is this taking so long' email, they get the canned reply. If the email appears like it could be some sort of reply related to the case, perhaps it gets more attention...

We'll see I guess!

hehe!

OOPS! Within 5 minutes of my last post, I got TWO canned replies from the USCIS, so either the email address is closed, or the guy reading the email's is 'stalking' me on VisaJourney.com...

HEY USCIS GUY! If you are reading this, can I get some props for creativity?
