Hi Everyone:

I called in 10/15 and 10/16 (both touches by me) and said it was over 180 days on my app... then it also got touched 10/17 (checked with my wife to see if I went crazy or not and called 10/17, but I didn't).. the first person on 10/15 didn't help much, but the person on 10/16 said they will send an email to the "officers" to look at my case... hopefully it will get approved in a week?? :whistle: I'm also going to check tomorrow to see if there is another touch... yay.. at least now it's moving along..

just keep bugging them everyday after the 180... tell them it's over 180 and send an email to the "officers" to take a look at your case..

When you call the USCIS 800 number or mis-information line there is an option for RFEs.

Is this used to force them to inspect the case in case of an RFE? I had one and it has been awhile since I have heard anything from uscis. If I call up and mention will it have any benefit?

My understanding is when you call USCIS when going through the options there is one for RFE's

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong (I know you will :) )

This is what I found in another post:

1-800-375-5283 Prompts 1-2-2-4(RFE prompt)-2-1-enter Rec't # 1 (to verify)

Yea I just did that and got transfered to a customer service person who was unable to tell me ANYTHING about the case at all. She didn't have access to even see if anything had been received to begin with. So essentially a useless gesture to call in.

Welcome to the club. The only useful information I have ever received from calling is when the USCIS printed the wrong receipt number on my check. After some convincing the person gave me the correct receipt number.
