I suggest to engage with an Immigration Liason Staffer Human at one of the 3 Congressional fellas that yer zoned for.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Yea I signed up to receive emails but never go one. My finance has got email from them but only NOA1 and email confirming she had called them on August 15th. We are going to call our congressmen tomorrow as I emailed his office and they said to call them. People may think I'm mad but I run 3 businesses in London and I am never one for sitting around and waiting. I know its a long process but to be made to wait a month for a letter is not on.

If you are the beneficiary, then you can't do anything. The USC must be chasing all this down, and contacting her congressman. You don't have a congressman... A congressman isn't going to care about what a foreign national wants. You've got this all mixed up.

AOS for my husband
8/17/10: INTERVIEW DAY (day 123) APPROVED!!

ROC:
5/23/12: Sent out package
2/06/13: APPROVED!

My fiancée who is the USC is calling the congressmen and dealing with them not me. I've just been getting all the info and sending it to her as she is at work at moment.

Should i Get a lawyer involved because of RFE fiasco? RFE was issued on July 30th (which we only found out by calling the USCIS!) and still not received anything is post even tho its supposedly been sent twice now. Have a infopass meeting on Monday but got a feeling it will be waste of time and they will just give us the same "we will resend" rubbish they said before. This has turned it to a fiasco and has added a month to our overal wait time unnecessarily.

Hiring a lawyer wud be waste of money!! since you already called USCIS nd they did a service request for you nd service request takes 30days to be finished.. my adivce wud be to go on infopass they can print out that RFE notice for you, it took me 2.5months jst to get my biometric appoint letter cuz at the first time post office sent back tht notice to USCIS, i made 2 service requests, eachtime i called them i talked to tie2 twice nd they were like you will have to wait 30 days to be finished in order to make a new service request.. so its better jst wait for monday to come nd go to on infopass nd have them to print out that RFE notice for you, at Infopass they have Server Connected with other Servers at USCIS wherever they are nd they can access data, edit, move or print it out if ppl like us are suffering for any notice to come. Good luck!! btw i jst got the same biometric apointment letter today the1 i already got from infopass they printed out for me :S:S:S:S:S

I am very confidant that the congressman will have an answer for you soon. In this case he would definitely accomplish more than a lawyer.

Wishing you a speedy approval !

From experience I can tell you that it can be just the case of a wrong zip code. My fiance' called USCIS and waited for over an hour to speak to a tier 2 and have the address checked line by line and as it turned out the zip code was incorrect simply because the person was too lazy to enter the correct zip code. There is also no point in involving a lawyer he can not help you anymore than you can help yourself. Speak to a Tier2 and check through your address.

Okay, so that doesn't say RFE.

It just says the online thing isn't working for your case (which is not a problem).

I really think you are chasing a phantom RFE. ANyone else think so?

How did you come to believe you had one? A Tier one person said this?

I totally agree with you. For being so familiar to RFEs, I too think there's no RFE.

BTW I only got things done when I called late at night and had a supervisor on the phone.

But both times we have called and spoke to a tier 2 officer they have said a RFE has been issued.

My fiancée in America calls them and then has to wait for ages for a tier 2 officer to call back.

No I trust what my fiancée is saying they said.

Also my fiancée emailed me over the email they sent her after the 2nd phone call and it states in that email the RFE is being resent.
