What Next :(

[Allie 5]

Hello all

Just a brief history so you won't have to read the time line to see our story

Sept 19 K1 application sent

Oct 5 NOA1 sent

Oct 23 returned by Postal Service they thought it was Lorry that moved instead of the people in # 5 didn't leave it in her mailbox took it back to Post Office

Nov 27 Lorry calls and is told the case is still in progress and NOA1 will be resent to her

Dec 12 Nothing yet so she calls again told by rude Supervisor to wait 45 days and if nothing arrives then call back Don't be wasting thier time She asks can you tell me if the case is still being processed He assures her yes everything is still going even though the Document was returned by theb Postal Service

Dec 19 decides to call It's almost a month since they said it was resent. She's told that the Document is being held in the mail room and can't be released until they recieve notification to do so

She tells the Lady on Nov 27 she was given a reference # for the Document to be re-entered and resent

The Lady tells her if she was given a reference # then 45 days from the 27 of Nov would be Jan 4

Lorry asks again while this waiting is taking place is our case still ongoing ? She's told no that has stopped when the Document was returned

She explains that on Dec 12 someone there told her it didn't matter the case was still being processed and is told then that she should not have been told that

The Lady told her on Jan 4 if you haven't gotten the Document then call again and they"ll re-enter it and red flag it too let them know in California it needs immediate attention

Then wait another 45 days to see whether it comes "Then she says If after 170 days and nothing is sent your case is closed and cancelled"

This is so tough we have 3 months in now and didn't get anywhere and still don't know what if anything is going to progress with the application USCIS inquiry phone are of no help very inconsiderate people They don't give a damn about what they're puttting people through

We have an appointment set up with USCIS in Spokane Wa on Dec 28 to see what the heck is going on and to see if someone there can get them in Calf. to get processing our case . I'll be there for the Christmas Holidays and will be going with Lorry to see them if they'll let me sit in with her.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can get this moving again USCIS doesn't seem to care whether it gets going or sits in that stupid mailroom

It wasn't our fault the Postal guy screwed up big time and has cost us a lot of suffering and extra heartache for his mistake

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks Allie

Wait, let me see if I understand your case. You had a NOA1 sent to you but some postal service error had it turned back. You called and inquired and it was resent but never got there? And they say your processing has stopped, and is now cancelled? When you made those calls, how did they find information on your case? How did you know when your NOA1 was coming? Do you have a case number assigned to you?

If you do have a case number I don't see why the lack of a NOA1 would stop your processing or cancel your petition. More info is needed in order to understand your case.

I'd almost be inclined to send the petition again, with Lorry's new address, and start over. Don't see how it could be any worse than the mess you're in.

Thanks for the reply

To help you understand a bit more. We didn't know the NOA1 was sent unil finding out on here from Kath that there was number on the back of the cheque to inquire about your case

We put the number in on the USCIS site and it said "undeliverable Document Filed "

On Oct 23 your document was returned to this office undelivered to call thier number to update the address

As far as they were concerned the address didn't exist When what really happened is the Post Man didn't leave it in Lorry's mailbox he thought it was #6 that had moved not #5

Why he did that is beyond both of us. Usually one has to go to the Post Office and inform them they have moved and fill out a change of address form it takes awhile

Lorry had work done at the dentist They called her telling her dental statement had been returned also

She called USCIS on Nove 27, we sat all that time not knowing the # to follow your case was on the cheque

If not for the info from Kath and Mybackpages on here we would still be sitting wondering and waiting

Yes we still have that same case number

She was told yesterday when the Document was returned it had to be re-sent to start things going again

That was suppose to be done on Nov 27 when Lorry called explaining what the Postal Service had done and now caused

She was told if she was given a reference # that day the info had been entered to re-send and could take 45 days from that date Jan 4 is 45 days

If nothing then they told her call again they'll re-enter and red flag it and could be another 45 days to get it going again

If after 170 days and no activity takes place our Petition K-1 would be cancelled

Everything we have been waiting on gone and no refund which sounds so silly to tell someone Who gives a ####### about a refund we want our K-1 to be finalized That's all we're asking from them

Is there anywhere else we can turn to in order to get our K-1 back on track. The process is tough enough this happening is all so disheartening it's a sick feeling 3 month gone by and still thye haven't moved from square 1 and we have to wait till thye do so.

Thanks any advice would be appreciated

Thanks for replying

Lorry doesn't have a new address it's the same as when we filed the Post Office caused all what has happened to us

I don't know taht we could start over we have a K-1 application there now and pending Also if I remember I think one of the questions on there went something like Have you ever filed a previous Petition before

You're right we don't see anything being any worse that what has happend up to now

Thanks Allie

If your check has already been cashed starting a new petition would be loss of money.

I've never heard of a similar case and I trully don't know how to help you. You could try contacting your congressman to see if he can make a formal inquiry with USCIS and have things moving.

Thank You We are at a loss for where to turn as I said this is so disheartening USCIS is of no help what so ever It seeems they couldn't care less They are playing games with our life and only adding to this tortuous process

Thier attitude is "Oh well we'll see how things go and if nothing moves tough luck "

We don't understand why when Lorry calls explaining the situation all over again to them. Why they couldn't just inform someone in that mail room where our Document is sitting with no action on going until it's re sent. To what has happened with the Post Office error and get our process going again

It's like we have hit a dead end with them We both are just sickened over this and thier lack of help in getting everything back on track

We have considered the Congressman route As I stated we do have an Appt. on Dec 28 with the USCIS Office in Spokane during my Xmas visit

Hopefully we'll find a compassionate caring person to speak with there

Thanks so much for your input on this sickening matter

I sure hope nobody else ever has to go through this with them
