I will preface this with the fact that I have an appointment with an immigration attorney on Thursday but boy could I use some advice.

 

My wife came here on a K1 from South Africa, we got married in March of 2018 and she received her work permit/combo card thing in August of 2018.  We have since built a life around both of us working and just waiting for this green card interview.  Today I was mailed a denial telling us that on March 17th they sent us an interview date that we never showed up to.  Well.....we never got that notice....we have been here patiently waiting and even calling the customer service line asking when it is and they said just to wait etc.....and today we were denied and she is ordered deported in 33 days along with her work permit cancelled...so now we have to move from our home if this isn't resolved....it was all a mistake...we were waiting for the damn interview and they never informed us.  We also updated our address with them to ensure it was correct because we moved mid process.  I'm surprised this letter actually got to us and the address had typo's in it and fortunately our mail man got it to us or the next thing would have been an ICE agent at the door....ffs......does anyone know what happens next?  I know there is this form we can fill out saying that something is wrong with the decision but any personal experience with this? 

Honestly, I’ve seen this happen already way too much. They also sent my RFE to my old address even though they uodated my case history with the address change. RFE was addresses to the correct address, the envelope had the old address. It’s makes you wonder if a robot is stuffing these envelopes. 

 Hire an attorney to fight that denial due to an error on their part. It can be done. Most immigration attorneys will now do payment plans. Call Lizz Cannon, she’s in Florida. But she is one of the best fighting immigration attorneys out there. I am so sorry this has happened to you.

For something so serious, you would think there would be a more organized notification process!

Yes, I’m seeing this happen more often and recently. It makes you wonder. At least send them certified so someone has to sign for it. I moved, updated my address with uscis, saw that they updated it and they sent an RFE to my old address. Luckily, my friend still lives there and let me know. But what if she didn’t? Our 130 would have been denied for something sent to the wrong address, an error on their part since they updated the new address. And when I called them and told them, all I got was attitude as if it was my own fault. It’s really getting ridiculous at this point. Sorry had to vent about this. Poor guy...it’s really not fair!

On the USCIS app it says that my case inquiry was assigned and responded to. But I haven't received any email and neither has my husband. Do they respond via mail? I've usually seen people getting emails.. Kinda worried..

Did you call? You have me concerned over here.

I would call at this point and ask what they said responded with.

Nope, there is no reason for Congress to get involved with my situation.

So you just have to wait? Why do you think their going to send NOID? I think they will also request an interview from me, but I’m okay with that, I have everything including all the paperwork from when they expedited him at the airport. I Just don’t understand why they didn’t ask for anything with the RFE they sent me originally asking for a copy of something thst had nothing to do with our marriage.

Hello, my case is still with my local office.

Found out last week, our case was transferred to NBC, so I may be called in for interview. I don’t have an issue being interviewed as I have every proof of our marriage and all his expedite paperwork when he was sent back. Have you contact congress to see if they can get involved?

It's now 9 months with no NOA2. Anyone else in the same boat? I was told we would hear something within 10 months.

Oh yeah!! 9 months here. My stuff is all confusing! RFE received, responded and then case transferred to national benefits center 🤯

Just found out our case was transferred to National Benefit Center. Uscis officer told me over phone. However, don’t know why. Our 60 days clock is still on the RFE response received as of 4/24. This has become absolutely ridiculous.

Well now at least you know where your documents are. Good luck! Good luck to all of us! 🙏🏽

Thank you good luck to your guys too! You’re almost there.

Ugh! Be prepared. We are on the NVC stage and experiencing the same. 😓

Our case was transferred to National Benefit Center. I am assuming they are going to set up an interview for me a text a local office. Something must have flagged our case.

You really think so? Shouldn't I wait for my inquiry response? I sent on 1st May and it says expect response by 23rd May. I don't get it, because on the app that I search daily, there are plentyyyy of August cases still untouched. Some people on FB groups from August who still haven't heard anything. So I don't know how they moved on to September on their website. Also, from what I've read, writing to your representative does jack all... all they come back with is a letter that says 'wait 60 days' or 'it's in queue', etc. If there's nothing by the 23rd, then we will have no choice but to write to someone I guess.

 

Do you still not know where your petition went after transfer? This is ridiculous.

Hi, I just hung up with uscis. Our case was transferred to National Benefit Center. Most 130 that get transferred there are set up for local interview for petitioner....all I can say is bring it on..:they can interview me a million times, nothing to hide. Ugh...

Yes there are unfortunate updates. Interviewed and asked questions about him (spouse) mostly. I didn't have "detailed" responses and facing a NOID. 

Not sure if you’ll see this. But I am wondering if the same thing is about to happen to me. Husband was expedited at airport and tourist visa revoked 4/2017, they saw a picture of him on his phone at a machine shop and he told them he was helping my uncle move his shop, they said that was considered working. Inadmissible  212a7aii. Fine, done. I moved to his country with my daughter, lived there 10 months, got married. Came back and filed 130 on 8/8/2018. TSC. Received RFE, responded and received by uscis 4/24. On 4/30 case updated that it was transferred. However, we have not received the notice so we have no idea where it went. Hopefully it was just for work overload. But I am fully prepared if they want to interview me honestly. There is nothing to hide. Where is your case at now?

Maybe the new office is in the notice but if you called USCIS, they shld know where it is

I am certain it is on the notice but you know how it goes when you call uscis, they don’t tell you much. You might get someone nice who gives a little more info. I called twice both times same answe, “I can’t see where it was transferred to and if you don’t get the letter by May 30th, call us back.” Not much help.

Hi everyone,

 

We just received our NOA 1 and our case got appointed to the Texas Service Center. I was wondering which Service Centers currently work the slowest? Thanks! 

We’ve been at TSC for 9 months. Received RFE, responded and now they transferred, waiting to find out where it went and why. Weird it transferred after they received RFE response. 🥴

Just now, Kartinee23 said:

And theh did not specify exact office where it was transferred? Was it not in your notice? 

No, I haven’t received that notice yet 

5 minutes ago, Kartinee23 said:

Maybe it’s possible they transfered to another service center? But theh shld know where it is. I’m confused. Let’s wait and see if someone can read your post.

This is what I got on the update.

Wait, your papers are still at USCIS?  You just started? 

Our 130 has been pending 9 months at TSC now

Have you called NVC? 

No, i called uscis and they said they couldn’t see where it was transferred. Wouldn’t they have just said approved? 

Hello,

Hoping this has happened to someone else and they can give me some insight as to why? 

We responded to RFE and TSC received 4/24, then received update on 4/30 that case was transferred. Have not received notice as to where it went or why. I’ve never seen a case that was transferred after the RFE response is sent in. Thank you.

Yeah then wait for the response to the inquiry. After that write congress. I’ve seen a lot of approvals go through because congress was involved. It also depends on your states political status, as odd as that may sound. I have no idea where my petition is or my RFE response is. It’s very ridiculous as this point. And on my status update says if I haven’t received the notice of the transfer by May 30th to call them. I mean come on, may 30th??

No news here.. no online updates or mail. People at Potomac who filed in February are getting approved. Heck, people who filed more than a month after us at Texas are getting approved. I'm happy for them but it's so unfair... I have no words.

I know it’s not fair. It is definitely a challenge to our mentality. At least me, I start thinking of the worse scenarios in my head when I see all these people getting approved and here we are. Especially when someone else on here responded to their RFE in Texas and got an approval 10 days later. And then mine gets transferred. I think you should involve congress at this point. I can’t because of the RFE, the 60 days clock started on me as of 4/24.

Omg I was so happy about TSC too! lololol 😅 

Any updates? Nothing on me. This is killing me. At 9 months now. They receive the RFE response and then decide to transfer. I have no idea where it went or why. Nothing. I hope you have better news. 🙏🏼

Hello,

We received an update that our case was being transferred to another uscis office. This was 5 days after they received our response to an RFE for another copy of my husbands divorce decree. I can’t find information anywhere of Another case being transferred after uscis receives an RFE response. I just find it odd. Our attorney says, they most likely transferred because of work overload. However, the update doesn’t say where it’s being transferred, I called and was told we have to wait for the notice to arrive in the mail. Did you guys find out where it was transferred on the notice thst was mailed? Thank you!
