Waiting on the VSC to make a decision?

[Steph1973 0]

I understand completely. I was a nervous wreck when I heard I was getting an RFE and I knew what it was about....

I am not sure when you are getting back, but mine took about 4-5 days to get to me. Good luck and keep us posted!!!!

i am getting back in about a week and a half, inchallah.

The time has flown by!! How come the time when we are apart goes so slowly and miserably, and the time we are together is like sand in the wind?

Thanks for your support, and of course, i will keep you posted.

Best of luck to you and a speedy NOA2 for you, i hope!!

hz

Thanks. I check the USCIS website 50 times a day like a crazy person!!!!

I overnighted it on a Friday, 12/14 for them to get it Monday, 12/17. The site reflected they received it and resumed processing on 12/18. On the advice of others on VJ, I wrote RFE all over the envelope. I am not sure whether that helped.

Anybody know how to file of a formal request for service? You have to wait a month after 6 months to do so, yes? Well, that's Sunday. So, any tips guys? My congressman has been no help whatsoever. Once, they gave me the same line that the Customer Service folk did, and the second time I received no response at all.

This is what the website says:

If at any point your case should become more than 30 days outside our normal processing time, and you haven't received a written decision or update from us within the last 60 days, you can help us by calling customer service and letting us know. We will research your case, see what needs to be done to get it processed, and get back to you with an explanation.

CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE????? What a $#$$ joke!

I had the form, but it looks like they removed it-I can't find it. Bastards!

Yeah, I wouldn't call CS and ask for help. They'd just tell me somebody had it, don't complain. Nevermind they've been saying that since November.

TADAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Im around...just needing to breath...I watch you guys from the sidelines...we are STILL at NVC in AP. So we really are still waiting with you all..Just because we got our noa2 doesn't mean we moved very far. Most others approved from Cairo are getting their packet 3's and interview dates while we sit. If you think the customer service is bad here...NVC is nicer...but they are only nicer. We still get NO information..and we still get 293874923873874 different answers to the same question...I just needed a break...

I will be leaving to go to Cairo Jan 21 for our visit...IF NVC hasn't forwarded our case by the 7th or so. By the way..anyone wishing to travel...expedia.com....iberia airlines...GREAT travel deals...NY to Cairo...$640.00!!!

Anyone heard from Mirla???

Actually, Ric, it might work to try customer service. That is how it is supposed to work. They can do that over the phone. They actually tried to do that for me after telling me I was outside commit time on december 19, but said computer forced transfer to vsc (maybe a lie i guess?).

At vsc I got the idiot who claims they are up to may 19, so i hung up and used the rfe trick to change the address the next day with different officer who acknowledged they were processing july, etc. but said i had to wait 30 days beyond 6 mo.s.

That is monday for me as well, so I will try customer service again and try to start an inquiry. I'll let you know what they say ... this is ridiculous isn't it?

[Bill y Bella 0]

Yes, it is ridiculous! I feel terrible for everyone who has been skipped or who is in RFE limbo. It is obvious they are not processing petitions in the sequence they were submitted and they refuse to correct the situation. In addition the so called customer service is a joke and an insult. It is obvious they have no ability to help anyone.

My heart goes out to you guys. I wish I could do something to help.

As for us, we made it to NVC and down to Bogota fairly quickly. We sent in our package 3 response on Dec 27 (we did not wait to receive package 3) and now we are waiting for an interview appointment. If things proceed normally for Bogota, we should have an appointment in February.
