VSC lose my petition, now I have to refile.

sorry that this happened to you. I hope every thing works out soon and that your application gets expedited since they were the ones that made the mistake.

This sort of thing makes me shake my head and sigh in utter disgust ! What the mess is wrong with this system?? Anyway, I wish you all the best in getting this straightened around. I am sorry this had to happen and all of your wait time was in vane.

Yeah I hear ya. But - Im interested in seeing how fast a expedited petition flies through the VSC! They wont even have to adjudicate it will they? Those boners better skim through it and red label it straight to the NVC!! Poor OP. Its amazing to hear stories like these.

Argh typos!

Thats terrible! I really hope it gets sorted out REALLY fast.

Thank goodness you don't have to pay again (well I should certainly hope not anyway) and that they DO get it approved ASAP!

Good luck!

I thought this word would've been censored. Obviously not. Congratulations!

Well,

As I talked about in my other thread, VSC 'lost' my petition when attempting to mail it to the NVC, back in November. We escalated this to our local senator and they eventually admitted it was lost, but they had an electronic record and they would reissue and expedite it.

They just called us back today to inform us this won't happen and we will have to refile. My fiancee was too upset to make sense of the whole thing but they are apparently emailing us some special instructions.

THIS IS SO UNFAIR, because of their screwup I now have to refile my entire petition, regather all the paperwork etc. I have a duplicate of it all in my house in the UK, but I now have to send this over, she has to get some stuff re-signed and so forth.

This is the most upsetting day ever and I have lost ALL faith in their ability to do a damn thing for us.

Sorry for all the frustration, ups and downs they're taking you through! I bet they will get you thru real quick after you refile the petition. But what gets me is that at this day and age I would have thought they might have actually had an electronic record of all your documents and stuff but I guess not! Maybe its the NVC and Consulate that have their rules to follow and can't just work with the electronic copies. Who knows, thats Government for ya!!!

Hope you get those special instructions real soon! I knew stuff like this can happen but you'ld actually think they learn from all the mistakes they make!!!

Alright mann we're all pulling for ya!

Hmmmm .. if it has already been approved and sent onto the NVC, I would not think it would need to be re-adjudicated. It sounds like they only need the actual paperwork (they may check it over to be sure it is complete) to send on down the chain. I would be interested in how fast this actually goes thru VSC and on to NVC again ... and hopefully they won't loose it again.

Fair only happens here in Maryland during the last two weeks of August

What I find interesting is that these large files we send in, aren't scanned and kept in the computer so they can be easily transmitted from each agency to the other one. To me, this is part of the problem of inefficiantcy. Also, they shoudl have lower paid staff who go through each file and check if the docs are there (maybe they do this already). IF it is Ok, it goes to the que. IF not, it gets an RFE. Then they shoudl have Jr. staff who check the easy cases, and Sr. who go for the harder cases. I think a good business analyst should help the us govt on this.

Additionally I have looked but found no reason for the lopsidedness of Vemont getting so fewer of files then California. It appears to me if I am goign to get a job in the USCIS, apply to vermont, a much easier job then a California worker.

these are things we find in small business that we can not see..but someone looking from the outside in can see. We all need a business consultant, and the US govt is not different in this way.

Well, it happened to me and my fiance also. VSC lost our paperworks...ah.... but anyways, I got the Visa now, so...it doesn't matter much. I hope that you'd feel the same way soon after knowing that your process is being expedited good luck.

I am so sorry to hear about that. But maybe since they are emailing you "special instructions", maybe they are going to expedite your 2nd petition. I sure hope so! Good luck!

Well, my everlasting journey has progressed again!

Originally they called to say they could reissue us, then called again to say they'd changed their mind as mentioned in my original post, and then again to say "Well, wait, maybe it's in Harrisburg?"

So, we waited another two weeks without hearing anything, and then last night my fiancee emailed me to let me know they have rediscovered my file, it's _at_ VSC and the supervisor is investigating, and once she's finished it'll be sent to the NVC (by friday!) where upon arrival our local senators office will request it's immediately expedited to try and help us make the time back!

So good news!

Does anyone know if that expedite request makes it all the way to the consulate in London and bumps me up the interview priority?

OOOo so someone laid it down while they were picking out a jelly doughnut (probably a cherry one that was real drippy with lots of iceing, in the mean time someone else laid their paper work on top of it, then picked it all back up (the paper work was actually the racing forms from the track) then they tossed it into their desk while they worked on the files for the day, forgot about the racing form, cause they werent really going to the track, they were just curious, then had a free afternoon and decided to clean the desk a bit, and VOla, there is the file.....

All over a cherry filled doughnut. Actually, I am sure they feel really really rotten about this. and I bet they take extra care to push your things up. And, they told you the truth, and didnt say..oh its still lost. Gotta give them credit for that. I am sure this is a stressful job they have.

Congratulations!!

Good news - my gosh, what a fiasco!!!

I dunno about the expedite request going all the way to London - but it bloody well should! Maybe the NVC can tell you?
