Waiting on the VSC to make a decision?

[amrssnowangel 0]

Any new approvals posted today??

Also are Faith and Mirla MIA??? Anyone heard anything from them?

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???

Hey Steph......How long did it take them to start processing your petition after they recieved the information????????

What do you mean? After they recieved my RFE evidence or my initial petition?

when you sent in the RFE how long was it before the website showed that they continues to process the petition.....I sent my 1 week ago and nothing

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.

Forget them......Do the rfe thing and act innocent about how you got there....that was what made mine move....of course I got an RFE but at least I knew they had it..........Customer Service just runs interference for USCIS

That's what I do, but I get different answers about my status every single time. It's with them on the 24th Nov, the 28th Nov, soon, wait two weeks, soon, wait two weeks, the 28th DECMEMBER.

last updated on website? June 14th. I have ceased to believe them whatsoever.

I understand believe me......I was told mine was with an adjudicator from Nov. 1 then Nov. 17, then Nov. 28th, then Dec. 12.......Finally touched Dec 12 from a change of address.....this really old lady talked with me rustled paper and started talking to me about my application.....I think she was the adjudicator......that is why I think she pulled the crate from June first week which we are all in and is slowly.....very slowly breathing and working on them.....Virgil said the same thing that he got a touch after changing his SO's address............This is so bad and so frustrating we all should be bald from pulling our hair out..........Lora

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?

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.

I have spent the last 2 days trying to fire my lawyer for unresponsiveness....but I can not get him to respond .....I can just cry

[OsLoraTamm 0]

Hey Bill I am confused.....I have been so upset at the lawyer I called VSC and had them send me a copy of the RFE.....after 2 weeks the lawyer responded and I overnighted the completed form to him but have been unable to find out from him if he recieved it and/or sent it to VSC.....Would it be O.K. if I overnighted them another set of forms and my copy of the RFE? Will it be bad if the lawyer had sent the forms and they recieved 2..........I am so distressed

If you send in the exact same thing as the lawyer sent / will send and you label it as "possible duplicate" I think it may be OK but I have no way of knowing for sure. If VSC has not noted the return of your RFE in the online system I am thinking he has not sent it in yet.

I know this doesn't help much, but remember that you have so many people here who care and can understand at least part of your feeling of helplessness. Even though most of us have not faced the insane delay that you and your love have been forced to endure, I hope it is some comfort that so many people from all over have heard your story and sympathize with your plight.

None of my friends and family, no matter how well meaning, can really understand what this is like to go through without experiencing it themselves. But others here who are going through their own versions of this fight can understand.

So though you may feel lonely... you are not alone.

Sorry Mirla...I had a little medical setback and had to delay the trip then we got this STUPID lawyer and I can not fire him so the RFE info just went in...and I am starting to think that March is looking like when the interview would be possible so here we sit......####### Mirla why is it taking so long for them to finish this.......This still sucks......

Mirla,

I am pretty certain that means your NOA2 is on its way. We were approved way back on the 12th and the site still has not updated even though our petition will reach the embassy this coming week.
