Casa case sent to Rome

[Always+Forever 7]

Well it turns out that our "missing" case was sent to Rome instead of "returned to USCIS" like everyone had been telling me for the last 2 months. And noone had a clue until I pressed the matter. So now they have to get it back from Rome...who knows how long that will be since everything "takes time". So looks like it will expire well before it gets back to the US, which defeats the purpose of the expiration being extended for review. So the fight continues!!

Left a msg for the Senator, will hopefully talk to them tomorrow. And they I'm assuming they found out with the pouch #. They gave me 2 numbers. The Consular Chief said the first was return for some reason (was sent June14) and so they redid it & sent it out June 16 with a new number that (according to the pouch tracking ppl for DC) that # was not one of their tracking numbers, which makes sense why now....it wasn't going to them...lol

It sounds like you were able to speak with the chief. What was that like? Was he helpful and/or did he provide you with specific reasons about the denial? I'm sorry this is so stressful for you

Yes...i was able to speak with the Consular Chief....well the temporary one...the previous one got reassigned & the new one won't arrive for 2 months. And he was very helpful & suprised about how the case was handled. So we will se what happens. He knew nothing about the case though, since he hadn't viewed it. He started with the "it was returned to USCIS" speech, until i informed him that I had called the diplomatic pouch tracking company (not UPS/FedEx, etc...lol) and it was not in the system. So he made sure they checked their office & mailroom to track it down. And I got a call the next day. Was pretty cool actually Except the 5am call...lol I don't really sleep much anymore anyway.

when visas are denied becuase of inadmissibility and a waiver of inadmissibility is filed(I-601) the file is sent to the department of homeland security in Rome which has jurisdiction over Morocco. It was a simple mix-up that cost you way too much time. Happy that you know where your file is though. Good Luck!

no no no! Most people are thinking, how the heck did it get to Rome. I'm just explaining how it likely got there. Someone made a mistake when sending files to Rome. Your was likely included by mistake or some dummy sent it there instead of to the US wbere it was supposed to go.

[msheesha 548]

No I think he's saying that it was just a mailroom error - that inadmissible cases (another category than simply denied) go to Rome and yours got mixed in there with them.

yeah...cuz it was returned & then sent out again...not sure why

ok...just talked to the Consular Chief again, who i must say has been VERY nice & helpful...anyway...lol He received a reply from Rome, and they said they sent our case to the Westerm Adjudication Center, which after Googling is the California Service Center. So know I'm wondering...does that mean it will still go through NVC & USCIS or will it go straight to CSC?? Cuz Rome received it 6/28/10 & sent it out 6/30/2010. So I guess we will see where it ends up. I guess I will start calling NVC tomorrow & my senator to see what we can do...see if we have any options of being pushed up the line since it was sent to the wrong place. I know...I'm dreaming, but it can't hurt to ask My mom always said, "Make people say no." Hope everybody is doing good & having a nice week.
