Waiting for a NOA2 from VSC for your I-129F?

[MKCT 0]

Alright, I just called my lawyer and I'm kinda scared about contacting Pat's congressman. I told him that some friends had recommended me to contact Pat's congressman if we don't hear anything from USCIS by the 6 months timeframe.....and he said that it could work or it could delay things more cause USCIS doesn't like when applicants get congressman involved with this, he said he wouldn't do that. So I was very pissed off and just wanted to get off the phone cause we payed him for nothing.....anyways, I asked him very straight, what do you recommend us? He said, Wait for the notice and don't send any letters.

The @sshole said that in case USCIS exceed the 6 months, they will let us know and I asked if he has any idea for how long more could that be in case it happens...and you know what he said!?!!? I don't know, I'm not the government, it's up to USCIS.....

MOFO!

Now, I don't know what to do......I only hope I get my NOA2 ASAP!!!!!

Awhile back I had written a letter to the NYC Public Advocate (Betsy Gotbaum). They passed it on to another person (Ralph Perfetto, Ombudsman) who wrote a letter on my behalf to:

Andrea J Quarantillo, Director

US Citizenship & Immigration Service

26 Federal Plaza, Room 14-102

New York, NY 10278

Now I've received a form letter with checkboxes from that same NY address as above, saying I need to provide:

"The alien registration number, if any, of the beneficiary."

Does anyone have any idea what this number might be? I looked at my NOA1 hardcopy but it doesn't seem to say anything about this. Any ideas?

You don't have one yet. You can't register if you don't even have permission to enter the country as an alien yet. They suck! Stupid bureaucracy!

Oh man! Stupid catch 22!!

well, thanks for the info.

God, there are ###### idiots!

Everything I have read and heard is the USCIS is very responsive to congressmen; they (congress) approve budgets and have the power, use the power available to you.

Oh, so you pay them for the entire process up front? Ah, gotcha. Didn't realize that. Lawyers are almost as bad as the government.

Mirla - your lawyer is a chopf##k who doesn't know what he's talking about. Stories on VJ directly contradict what your lawyer said about congressional involvement. I hate lawyers who try to instill fear in their clients. Very unprofessional.

You're right....I'm gonna wait today and see if I have any good news otherwise I will talk to my fiance about trying to contact his congressman......I just know he's gonna be more pissed of at USCIS....

Actually I think it depends on the lawyer. We didn't pay ours up front, and have only paid 25% of what we will eventually pay. She has it spread out so I think the last payment is once we have the interview for the Green Card.

Either way, though, I agree they can be as bad as the gov't. I'm not sure ours has really been helpful, aside from taking some stress and time off my hands.

I see VSC is still treating us like ####### and so far CSC has already cranked out 11 NOA2s to VSC's 0. Damn, this is insane. How did we get to this point where the government treats us (US Citizens) like #######. Even the IRS provides better service than this. Big business is ruling America as shown in Employment VISAs given much faster processing times and even offered 15-day premium processing as well to thrown sand in our faces. They make me want to puke.

Big business and government are in bed together. This will take years to change, if ever. Makes me sick!

Hey!

I saw that some of you were wondering about why we got approved so fast . And i can only answer...I have no idea! My fiance is not in the military, we didn't send any nude pics , we didn't contact a congressman. Actually we did nothing exept waiting. And we were also prepared for a much longer waiting.

I can only explain it that we maybe had a very good organized petition, a lot of proofs and we both had no "complications" in our past, like previous marriages, children, a lot of relocations and so on. Or maybe we just had luck .

And ja, you are also right that everything is in the moment very fast for us. I have already received the pack 3 from the embassy in Germany.

I hope this helps a little bit!

I really wish you all that you will get approved soon as well! I know how frustrating it is .
