Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

Update: Congresswoman's liason with USCIS called the Vermont Service center directly and they agreed 15 months is a long time waiting for a decision (HELLLOOO?!?!? tell me something I don't know) The USCIS officer told the liason they would physically go find his file to see whats going on and that they would contact the congresswomans office within 10 days.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

Thanks for being angry for me... I wish our anger would get things moving faster but it doesn't

My husband is going to England/Wales in about 2 months to visit his family and see Blur, I just want it to be sorted by then so it isn't hanging over his head. I am also concerned because I won't be going with him and I am afraid something will happen and he may get held up or something on his way back in to the US.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

Update: We have been assigned a Consitituent Service Representative that with our local congresswoman. She sent an email to USCIS on our behalf and their response was 'The case is currently with an adjudicating officer and pending at this time (as of 4/8/09) and you are welcome to periodically check for status.'

I explained to her we were well out of the processing times and we received a letter in Febuary stating our case would be resolved within 60 days, then another letter (after we hadn't heard anything within 60 days) this past week stating the exact same thing word for word what the first letter said.

If we don't hear anything in the next few weeks I may contact the Ombudsman. Has anyone had any experience with that service?

I just checked our mail and we got a letter from USCIS saying that our case is pending and that a decision or other action should be made within 60 days. This is the same letter we got the beginning of Febuary!!!!!!!!!

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

Well, we contacted USCIS around the end of January once it had passed a year waiting, they said it would be forwarded internally and we should hear back from Vermont within 45 days. We then got a letter about a week later saying that our case was still pending and we should wait another 60 days. Well 60 days passed and my husband (the GC holder) called USCIS to find out what was going ontter. They said they would forward another request to Vermont to find out what was going on, that was on March 27th.

I tried contacting the idiots at USCIS on 4/2 myself and was told the request he had submitted on March 27th couldnt be expited because it was already in their system and I would have to wait the 45 days.

I sent a request to my Congresswoman Ginny Brown-Waite on 4/3 to see if she could contact USCIS on our behalf to find out what the heck is going on. We got a letter from her office yesterday saying they had assigned someone to work on our case.

Based on the USCIS website there have been no touches on our case since 3/2008 which I assume is when they received my husbands biometrics. We have not received a request for RFE or Interview since his case was filed.

Hello out there I started this topic as a way to vent our frustrations out if you, like myself have been waiting over a year for your I-751 to be approved.

I would also encourage those who were approved and waited a year or more to explain what you did if anything to get uscis to move your case along.

I just looked @ the processing times from Texas, which is where we sent the I-485 to and it says they are processing from August 2001.

?

So, does that mean we are ok ?

I did have all that here at one time, while we were doing all of the initial paperwork, I was on this site every day for a year. I forgot that ID and password =/. Our local office is Tampa. I made an appt for Friday so hopefully we'll figure out some good news.

I didn't move here, I am American Thank You. He's not. I am doing the asking, not him. I ask questions because I do not know the answers, I also made a mistake by not going to Canada. I don't appreciate ANY tone in this situation. If I can't freely come here to ask a process question - what is this site for?

John/Marlene - We filed for AOS immediately following our marriage, which was 2 years and 4 months ago. We haven't heard a word since. I asked someone roughly 6 months ago if our interview should have been scheduled and they said it could take up to 5 years.. ??

Now Im a bit more confused.

Filed a K1 then got married. I just didn't want to explain it all, it was a long process, but we did go thru it all so far, except AOS. Anyhow, why would selective services want you to register then? If someone could just atleast explain that part of things, my mind could half be at ease.

We are wanting to move to Canada for other reasons than a draft scare, we've been talking about it for a year or so now. So, what Im asking is, we've decided to go to his original country, instead of mine, whats the best, possibly faster route to take from here?

I apologize, I really dont mean to sound like a complete moron, my brain is just really stirred up over this selective services bit. I didnt explain well enough b/c I wanted a quick answer.

I am sorry.

It did. But selective services are doing their reporting again. I am not trying to be an idiot, I just really am not sure what is going on. In any case, I do need answers..

This is a two part question.

A. Can you be military drafted if you have a green card? (I.E. - From Canada and in US. w/ GC)
If you do not yet have your green card, can you be military drafted? (Obviously, if the first answer is no, so is this)

B. We are 1/2 - 3/4 way through our process, he came here, we got married, filed K-1 and now awaiting Status of Adjust. and our interview, he's lived here for three years roughly. We now want to put it in reverse and he move back to Canada and I go w/ him. What is the most painless process to go through? Do we have any sort of headway since we have come so far in one side of the process, or are we even more behind because of it? Hearing draft rumors has got us even more motivated to go back to Canada.

Any sort of response would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I had heard, long before now that Canada Immigration was much much painless than US.

It was sort of ironic on the phone the other day - I was calling US & Canadian Consulates for info and I must admit the ONE Canadian officer I spoke with was 10x more helpful and polite than the 4 US officers.

It just sort of made me giggle.

Thanks for all of the forum links, there is nothing better than experience when it comes to immigration!!!

Again, thank you all so much for your responses.

Today we actually found out they had the wrong A number on the denial paper, and we also happen to find the same incorrect A number on a previous document.

Hoping it might shed some clarity we frantically called USCIS and were quickly discouraged after making our way thru three "lovely" immigration officers.

Not only did they completely shrug off the errors that were found on the denial letter but said there was nothing they could do.

I pointed out that the I-765 denial letter had a 2005 denial date which NO ONE seems to know where it came from.

I also questioned how could they have possibly denied the I-765 in August because of the AOS denial if they didnt deny AOS until 9/14/07????

They of course had no clue. They just shuffled it all off as errors and typos.

At this point, even if there was a chance in hell we were still pending I would write a letter to stop all action on the application. I have had it w/ US immigration.

I have never felt so screwed over.

Thanks for listening to me ramble..

...and of course, thanks SOOOO much for the advice.

Thank you so much for all of your input so far.

I think we are going with the idea of Canada mostly because we have been down the US path.

I think I am going to try to apply outside of Canada.

Thanks again!!
