Fresh-mint USC, with wife and new-born baby

Thanks again Loto.

I guess I will be waiting for the snail mail then - no apparently I didn't do good homework as you have done, did not even know this G-1145 thing,

You should get the snail mail on 25th or 26th

Thanks, just want to give you a quick update - received NOA1 on August 26th,

Now trying to get USCIS to expedite it - called in and explained the situation. The lady put through another expedite request via internal email, and told me that if no news from USCIS by this Friday then just give them another call.

Will see how it goes.

Good luck! It looks like the predicted date and your NOA1 arrival date coincide

indeed. so finally today i got to speak to a 2nd-line officer, and he looked up my name and my kid's name in the system but could not find anything.

Did you 'do the expedite' in the manner that I described, in the link way above?

If not, will take some herculean effort to get the expedite done now.

If you DID, then the mailroom has 'f@#$ed up', somehow.

Hello Darnell,

Yes I did exactly the things as you have described in the link.

The only logical explanation is that yes the mailroom really messed up w/ the case - it took almost one month just to get the NOA1 (July 26th confirmed delivery -> August 20th NOA1 sent from USCIS)

It is sad to realize that how how helpless and powerless an individual is while dealing w/ the malfunctioned bureaucracy.

OK - alrighty then.

Time for an Immigration Liason Staffer to jump in, this week.

There are 3 you can use, 2 at the US Senators in yer state, and 1 at the US Representative's office.

You should call around on Monday, try to talk with each ILS person, get some idea of:

--are you an intern, or not?

--2 years or more of working the ILS position?

-----

you don't want an intern, you don't want an ILS with less than 2 years of ILS-service time.

When you 'get the right' ILS person, send off the release form via fax, then sit back, watch the fireworks. You should get some response back within a week.

Now - for 'what to ask' -

--What's the status of my expedite request? My wife's I-130 was approved, and I filed an I-130 for my child AFTER her I-130 was approved, as my child is a NEWBORN, born AFTER the I-130 approved.

Good Luck !
