I'm sorery to hear this gsmclean...i dont know if it will help but if you are close to the local USCIS office, you could get an Infopass appointment...anyhow, i think that's what i would do if i were in your situation, the Cincinnati office is less than an hour away and that way i can vent some of my frustrations a little on a real person...the call center reps are really useless, and they just aggravate you more

goodluck!

oh and btw, still no action for me...now i'm really afraid my case has been misplaced, since they have royally f*cked up yours up, i wont be surprised if they lost mine

wheee...happy thoughts (:bonk: to myself)

Here's what they asked for:

- Tax transcript for 2005 tax year

- Copy of W2 from 2005

- Employment letter from current employer

- Bank letter

- Bank statements

- Proof of citizenship of sponsor

ALL of these things were provided in the original submission. If this wasn't so important, and it was just another government agency I was dealing with, I'd write a REALLY nasty letter to accompany my response. What kind of IDIOTS do they have working there???????

Oh, and the guy on the misinformation line was of absolutely no help - he basically said, "the agent who is handling the case probably just misplaced the file, or didn't bother to read the previous agent's notes, so they are asking for the information again." How reassuring.

Hey gsmaclean,

You can do an Infopass appointment if you want and if that makes you happy but it is not going to work. There is nothing that the local D.O. can do on this particular problem. It sucks that they are asking you for some documents that you have sent them already but the problem is that they lost them, misplace them or sent them out to another department, section or for EAD or AP. The only thing you can do is to re-send them again ASAP so they can re-start working on your case. Trust me many of us before you have gotten RFE’s for documents that we have already sent, not as many as you but they RFE Stina and me for documents we had already sent.

Good luck,

Peter Miami

Yeah, I'm not going to bother with the appointment, I'm just (re) assembling all this ####### to send off to them again.

Interestingly, they don't ask for a tax transcript, they ask for a "Letter 1722" from the IRS, which it then explains is a "summary" of a tax year. I looked for ANY reference to "Letter 1722" on the IRS web site, there is none. I found lots of people on various immigration boards trying to figure out what the mysterious "Letter 1722" that the USCIS is asking for is, but no answers. So I called the IRS, and after 45 minutes on hold, got an operator who told me that the "Letter 1722" was replaced with the electronic transcript (the one you can order over the phone) many years ago, and no longer exists. Way to keep up with the times, USCIS. I wrote this explanation in my (34 page and counting) RFE response that I'm working on right now.

Hi all. Been reading this thread for a few weeks to see how others saga's have compared to mine.

I have been emailed by EAD approval today! I am now awaiting the AOS part. This was transferred to the CSC on Sept 14 and I have not had a notification of arrival yet. I guess I should just wait and I'll soon get touched on that?

James.

Hi Paul.

Yes, it is very close!

I've heard nothing, but then it says you can't chase it up until 60 days have passed from last communication.

I'm happy to be allowed to work again!

Well the waiting saga continues.....my case still hasn't been received by CSC even though the USCIS claim it was transferred there on 14 September. My EAD hasn't been touched since August 22 either so looks like I'm still gonna be the stay at home wife for a little longer...here's hoping for a few touches and approvals for everyone in the next few days!

Wow guys, this is just so depressing.

Gsmaclean, I really hope all that ####### gets sorted out and everything gets back on track!

Kweli, I'm sorry to hear about the mistake on your green card, you'd think they'd be more careful.

To everyone else, every part of my body is crossed and a prayer has been said. I hope to hear some amazing news when I get back from Canada.

I believe I heard last year that the USCIS fiscal year is October, (13th?) so hopefully a swarm of approvals are on their way before they start that!

Hey Katie. Look at my timeline. They sent my AOS on the same date, but I've heard nothing since and my EAD was received there on 3rd August. We're in the same boat for AOS and I would assume your EAD will get touched in a week or a little over. My EAD wasn't touched for just over 2 months!

Hold in there!

Hi James! Congrats on getting your EAD! I sure hope I get mine soon, my NOA date is August 8th so I'm just a little bit behind you. It's weird that our cases were both sent the same day and still both haven't been received, probably lost in some bottom-less pit somewhere. Well, happy job hunting, hopefully that will be me soon!!

Katie

Stina, Hope you have a great trip back to Canada!!

Hi All,

I got back from work yesterday to find my daughters case touched, i also had this email from uscis:

Case Status

Receipt Number: MSC*******

Application Type: I485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status

Current Status:

The interview scheduled in this case has been canceled. You will be notified if the interview is rescheduled.

The problem i have is my daughters case was tranfered to CSC and an interview was never scheduled, so how can they cancel one which was never scheduled?

My question is, do i ignore the email or should i try to follow it up somehow

Many thanks for any advice

Ally
