Would it even be worth my time to contact USCIS and ask them what to do about this?

I noticed THEY your lost 864, a travisty for anyone! ( I post this for all )

After reading many very good , uscis walk thru's written by a lawyer's and others,

I have this advice:

when you send in the info , do it using the 2 hole federal binding way. ( officedepot.com)

this prevents loss of papers.

second.

one each page put our GreenCard (GC , for newbees) A# (alien number on the top right corner of each document.

then whey they drop the papers on the floor , the can identify them.

imagane chaos and you are there.

for other people , at diffent steps , use your newest assigned number

case number , or CSC# ,

on every cover letter , you have all numbers, always, that why they can never get confused. (no excuses)

up to receiving our GC , the our last docs had our Case# on "EVERYTHING". ( photos on the back)

including all checks , always send two checks if there are two fees.

never combine checks , never. ( think about that , how could they subract an amount from a check, bingo )

always , go the the web site (not here) of question , and check the fees , just before sending something in.

if you are really paranoid call them and ask. we were paranoid. :blush:

I hope everyone finds and has love blossom, it has for us , (2years now) and it was all worth it in retrospec,

retrospective:

but every one is correct, ins,uscis,HLS,et al. , < are all crazy as loons, Tell me, do you feel safer? sorry for politics :wacko:

Everyone Break a Leg !

UPDATE: On Jan 23 we received the letter extending my wife's conditional residency for one year. We also received the biometrics appt. letter in a seperate mailing, but they both arrived on the same day. So it looks like they accepted the new check I sent for $205. FYI, her biometrics appointment is scheduled for Thursday, Feb 1. Guess they don't give you much of a notice. That's less than 2 weeks from when we received the notice, so keep your schedules clear once you mail out your I-751.

We've been through the same thing. We mailed my wife's I-751 on Dec. 16th w/the $205 filing fee and photo ID. Check was cashed and we received our NOA extending her permenant residence status for one year on Jan. 9th, the next day we received the Biometrics Appointment notice and she was scheduled for Jan. 22nd. We have since been to her appointment which took all of 20 minutes (5 minutes wait time, 15 minutes processing time) and her Appointment notice was stamped and initialed by the USCIS worker. Now we wait until we receive further contact/instructions. I was nervous that they may request the additional $70 fee so i brough the checkbook with us to her appointment but there was no request on either the NOA or her Appointment notice and they processed her without asking for any additional fee and I assume they would not have processed her at all without receiving additional money if required.

K1 Process

6-28-2004 Submitted I-129F Petition for Alien Fiancee

8-16-2004 Called US Embassy in Manila to verify they had received my petition for my fiancee and inquire as to approx how long before she receives her K1 packet. Nice lady informed me they received my petition on July 30th and that my fiancee would be receiving her packet in about 1 week and that her K1 interview date at the embassy was October 22nd.

8-27-2004 My fiancee Ann received her K1 packet

9-16-2004 Sent my I-134 Affadavit of Support (and supporting documents/evidence) via FedEx to my fiancee. Was delayed 1 day because Mail Boxes Etc. didn't tell me I needed to declare a value for the photos I was sending as additional evidence.
