Yes.... I see your point. I was unaware of the emails you had received. At this point, I don't know what you could do... I don't have any contact information for CSC personnel. Hopefully it will be rectified by the 1st of March.... if not...... I would send an email to I-130Inquiries.Tsc@dhs.gov I'm sorry I can't do anything for you bro..... All I can do at this point is to pray for you (everyone). Don't get me wrong.... you could always SPAM the ####### out of the contacts I sent you.... what are they gonna do..... transfer you back to TSC???? :rofl: Sorry..... we have to find "some" humor in this craziness. But..... if it's any consolation.... I received my hardcopy NOA2 yesterday (approved on Monday) and I don't have an NVC number yet. I know that didn't help.... but.... hey, I'm tryin' LOL

Thanks bro, I'll keep you guys posted :)

Sounds just like Ron doesn't it???? "Someday I'll take over the world... but until I do...... I'm rooonnrrrreeeee" :rofl: :rofl:

:rofl: yeah, exactly what I was thinking

Saleem,

Is your status still showing as "Post Decision Activity"???? If so, then that gives you an "open door" to request and EXPEDITE due to USCIS error. That's what I did. Please Saleem.... you need to email the ####### out of them until they do something. Look at the message I sent you and use it to your advantage... if you email them with the concern that your application is "on hold" because of their mistake.... then they have no choice but to rectify it..... that's what I did bro..... will you please try it? I hate it that your petition is not moving. :( Email ALL of the contacts that I sent you.


Hi Erick, thanks so much for your insight. Just like your case, my case status had been "demoted" from "post decision activity" to "initial review" on February 11th. After that I waited until day before yesterday, February 17th, to email Mr. Badgers who, in about 45 minutes after me having sent my email, wrote back telling me my app was at CSC (confirming what Ms. Barrows had said in her email reply.)

If that's the case, who am I to email at this point? :(

Thanks to the status change, I don't see how I may qualify for an expedite.

I had contacted my congressman's assistant a couple of weeks ago prior to the official "we screwed up" USCIS bulletin, who had told me to give them 30 days to contact the USCIS, thus far nothing has come out that.

I really feel like I've exhausted all feasible options at this point. I'm thinking all I can really do is wait until, God-willing, I receive my NOA2, or alternatively an RFE.

In about 2 weeks I can phone the congressman's aid again and in all likelihood be told the same thing, which is to wait. Also, around the same time it'll be March 1st, by which date we're all supposedly to have received some type of update.

This whole process has been quite an experience.

I just received the RFE in the mail today and they want me to submit evidence to establish the marriage is bona fide. I am furious!!!!! I sent 2 dozen pictures from several different cities with me and my wife. I send cell phone bills showing all the phone calls between us. I sent my marriage certificate. What else do they need??? I am not living with my wife helloooo!! How am I suppose to have the following?

*Documentation showing joint ownership or property
*A lease showing joint tenancy of a common residence
*Birth certificate of children born
*Affidavit sworn to by 3rd parties
*Any other relevant documentation to establish that there is an ongoing marital relationship

I am not living with my wife! Helllooooooo How am I suppose to have a lease or property??? We don't have children yet! So I am now freaked out!!! I will get 2 affidavits from 2 people (relative or friends) does it matter who I get it from? What else can I include??? I thought the telephone statements and the pictures from several different trips would have been enough. I can't even prove that my marriage is bona fide! Please help people I don't know what to send.

I HATE OFFICER # XM 1117 !!!!!

I am so sorry to hear about your RFE bro. I cannot fathom HOW the stuff you had sent could not suffice. Honestly, it simply makes NO SENSE. I had come across a thread on VJ once called something like "the stupid RFE thread"... it seems to me this would be yet another case of an extremely pathetic RFE. Really, utterly, pathetic.

This is EXACTLY the kind of ####### I'm afraid I'll be receiving... I was told I was transferred to the CSC a week ago, haven't heard anything yet...

I cannot believe the error they made with your petition. Unbelievable. If we were to even misspell a name on an app, we would get so much grief from the USCIS. They make a flagrant mistake like this, there are absolutely NO repercussions. :no:

Don't lose hope, we'll get there eventually :)

Hello, all. This is my first post in VJ.

We are July filer with priority date July 19. Our petition was transferred from CSC to TSC on Nov 3. The last touch was on Nov 24. After then, absolutely nothing happened. We tried many ways to get response on status and we just received generic message. We will get into 8th month within few days. Really really hope to get approval before teh end of this month (Feb).

Welcome to our refugee camp annie&sam... you guys are in good company :)

Carlton baby, go with your bad self!!! You better be next celldoc...hes ready to dance the night away

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCSC to TSC to NVC: the Saga continues

for us it went like this

sif on web page
2 days later case closed phone message
3 days later email with interview date
1 week later (aprox) phone message changes to case mailed to consulate
start tracking on dhl using these directions from this wiki --

http://www.visajourn...The_NVC_Process

How to track your valuable originals?


Listen to NVC's AVR message, it will clearly say “Your case is completed and forwarded to the embassy or consulate in XXX on MM/DD/YYYY…” Once you hear this message, immediately go to DHL Tracking by Reference and track your shipment.

For example, if NVC's AVR says your shipment date is 06/05/2008, NVC actually called DHL one day before this date to pick up the shipment. So your reference date is 06/04/2008 ( though mine was same date as AVR message ). Then enter EXP 04 JUN 2008A as your reference in the above DHL website. Then scroll down to your consulate link.

To be sure you can try a date range between 06/03/2008 to 06/06/2008 in the date range

once its delivered give them a few days then you can contact the consulate about case....we are asking for faster interview date as sydney isnt that busy..

Thanks SO much for the details above!

Once we have an interview date, I'll try phoning the embassy as well and see if we can somehow be moved up. My understanding is that currently it's taking an average of 50 days to get an interview in Mumbai :unsure:

Thanks again for the info, and best wishes to you and your loved ones :)

Hehe, Saylin is here :)

The only thing you can keep doing is calling the AVR whenever possible to see if they update saying your case is complete. I'm guessing that because you got your SIF today, that your AVR will change tomorrow or the day after. And of course, keep calling the NVC operators once a day to ask if your case is complete.

You're almost there, you should have a case complete real soon. And then you're in queue for an interview date to be scheduled :)
