Lost I-130 application at London?

[bignije 0]

So we filed DCF in London, and got our NOA1 dated March 18th. The embassy processing date is now past that, and we have heard nothing. So I called the £1.20 a minute line to see if there was any news, and they told me they have no record of our application?

Please tell me there is a good explanation for this, and not that they have lost the thing?

You got your NOA1 so they obviously do have a record of your application, so I would just shut your ears and ignore what they tell you. Even if they approve your application "on time" you may not hear anything for a few weeks. Some London DCF files were sent to Rome for processing, don't know if that would affect anyone's knowledge of what was going on. But honestly, I wouldn't put much stock in what they tell you on the phone :-)

You called the Immigrant Visa Unit probably which will eventually get your case sent over from the USCIS London field office (once the I-130 is approved). Call the USCIS office at 02074950551.

OK so my wife called them, they confirmed that they had not lost it, we hadn't heard anything because it was under review, something about an 'A' file? does this mean anything to anyone?
