Hey Kelah.....Have you been talking to your Senator;s and Congressperson or the Omsbudsman....I think I bugged the hell out of them until they finally could not stand it anymore..........I have so much empathy for you guys.....It is probably the hardest thing I have ever been through......because there is no recourse....no help....no caring on USCIS part.........and it is very stressful on the relationship........I have been reading on the various thread about couples that do not make it and I can understand why....this is STRESSFUL....I hope you get your approval soon......... yes.gif yes.gif
Lora



I have talked to one person at my Congressperson's office who said she would see if she could do anything. That was 2 weeks ago and I haven't heard anything since. My lawyer has contacted USCIS to make an inquiry since our application is now 30 days beyond the processing time posted on the USCIS website for CSC.

What is the Ombudsman? Please tell me what you did and I will do it! We had a touch today, but who knows what that is for. Probably because our lawyer called last week. Our file has been in security check for at least 2 months now. Maybe more. Everyone says that there is nothing we can do. I would be grateful for any ideas...

We couldn't stand waiting any longer and I am now in Argentina with Ramiro. We decided to wait together, but its still frustrating to both of us to have our lives on hold (work, school) and to be waiting to start our lives together. Of course, you know what I am talking about




Thank you, Lora, for your support and advice.

Kelah and Ramiro



The omsbudsman can be reached on the department of homeland security website.....look under the USCIS section and look under omsbudsman section download the form and fax it in.......Virgil has done the same thing......I worked both Senator's and my Congressman.....they were sick of hearing from me.......I called emailed....called the customer service and directly to Vermont.......what a nightmare......inept is not even strong enough to tell you what I think about them.........I am so glad at least you can be with Ramiro........I found the separation the most difficult......Good Luck....Lora

OsLaraTamm,

You win!

Race you to the interview!

I guess it's just hit or miss when USCIS decides to do security check on the file. Most of the time people don't get checked. Days when there's a full room and the temperature is exactly 16 degrees I guess they play eenie meenie minie moe and pull a file outta their a$$ to do a sec check.

We should buy lotto tickets actually. We're the lucky ones.

silence and crickets over at CSC while I'm here cursing and placing voodoo spells on them

Never once was I touched.
My lawyer who was paid over $3G couldn't do jack $hit. My fiance's a lawyer, so we have every right to call our BIG LAW FIRM incompetent fi$t f$ckers.
Our congresswoman is pretty much a waste of tax dollars. Thank goodness we didn't make a donation to her and waste more money.

Lesson learned: next time I get married, no lawyer required. HA!

Jan. 30, 2008 oh looky loo! A f$ckin approval after oh, what, only 243 f#ckin days!

Who can beat me? I don't wanna hear no bi#chin on this forum no more from people who waited 160 days. Oh boohoo, poor you! God didn't see you through this time, now did he?

Bwahahahahah

Don't mind me, I'm just a little pi$$ed. You will be too in my shoes. Trust me. I'm actually quite pleasant and great to talk to irl. Like to keep it real, know what i mean? Cuz i don't believe in God and I don't believe in sugar coating and gushing is alright, but come on, who uses "beloved" anymore? HAhahahah[/quote]


I waited 251 days from mailing in to VSC on May 26th until approval on Feb 1, 2008......I used a lawyer also.....and fired him after January 1 because he could do nothing.........You can see from our time line that sometimes you can do nothing to make this process easier and better and sometimes you are just lucky.....lora

I just looked at your timeline...what was your RFE for? If they've just gotten it back, it shouldn't be long now..seems most are approved very quickly after the RFE info is sent back. The bonus for you is that your file is at VSC..they send them to NVC very quickly where CSC waits for 3-5 weeks to fill a crate before sending to NVC. Best of luck and keep us posted. good.gif



they asked for another biographical profile on me........My lawyer...who I fired....took 2 weeks to answer my calls and I just filled out another with my maiden name on the other names used......I have no clue what the problem was......but they recieved it and I got a second touch today....so very frustrating

i actually talked to a real live body today at the VSC and I said to her I felt my petition was lost and she said "Oh no dear at least 1/3 of the case workers are on leave sometime during this time of the year..........I am Noa1 June 5........that be 193 days....so I am think our are on someones desk on leave.......Ouch

Well....I found you information interesting.....[...] I just hate USCIS.....the bottom line.......


---
Lora, I fantasize about being elected President, and -- not during the first 100 days, but the first DAY -- going to CSC (their processing date is April 29!), chewing some butts like a Marine drill-sergeant, bashing heads, throttling throats, and making sure that none of the survivors ever get jobs anywhere again. Then, the procedure would be to handle applications from U.S. citizens FIRST -- none of this "H1-B visas take priority, and then spousal visas for the H1-B awardees" insanity. If the Center can't immediately track down the very NEXT application chronologically, all activity stops until it is found. If it is not found within 15 minutes, heads roll. Now, THAT would be payback for losing our right to "petition our government for redress"!


Well I find that a wonderful fantasy but you have to include VSC also just to help the other half of us....O.K.....I got an email back from the ACLU asking me to write up the whole situation and how I feel my rights have been violated...OMG....let me count the ways......by the way TBoneTx I met Oscar in Quito, Ecuador though he is Peruvian....One of my favorte places I have visited........My favorite resturant overlooks the old bullfighting stadium in the old section of town...good food and what a view at night....beautiful.....You know we all should be spending time with our SO instead of fighting our own government for the permission to be happy.....THANK YOU USCIS....for your concern for your "customers"


sorry I have been blasted lately on VJ for being so negative but I have just about lost my mind and I am an emotional person......I have a hard time being patient and happy when I feel I have been wronged......sorry...Lora

It's 180 days for me today. Whoopee! I called the CDC (California Disservice Center) to wish them a happy anniversary.

The automated line said "You are required to provide the information requested." "Good grief -- an RFE!" I thought. I continued and immediately reached an actual Immigration Officer.

This ImmigOff was the only truly helpful, sympathetic person with whom I've ever spoken at USCIS. He did not argue with me once; he actually provided meaningful information without pull-teething; and he said that he gets enough calls like mine that he is absolutely obliged to respond with courtesy and respect. Would that the other b*stards there had the same approach!

He said that his records showed no RFE at all, and he considered it curious that the recording said that there was. My file is "not in the file room; it's in the Division, between officers' workstations at a transit station." I queried him; he surmised that a junior officer couldn't make a decision and referred it to a senior officer, OR approval/denial could be awaiting a supervisor's required signature.

Helpful poop for all of us: He said that 90% of fiancee petitions are ultimately approved. He said that the official holidays off for the "workers" (ha) at the CDC are the day before Christmas, Christmas Day, & Gnu Year's Day; of course, folks will also take personal time during this period. Case Status Online is NOT always updated because [1] "It would distract the folks from processing files" and [2] "There would be so much strain on the computer system that it would crash it."

He did volunteer that my fiancee has an Alien (whoops -- "Administrative") Registration Number (assigned shortly after the file was received -- thanks, USCIS). He projected early January for action on my petition. (Whoopee -- my VJ date is October 29, 2007.)

Now, dig this: At my request, he promised to send the "black hole" (his words) an e-mail stating that the Case Status OnLine flatly says "We process cases in the order received" and that July/August files have been approved before mine. He said, "I can't promise what reaction it will evoke, but we can try." I asked, "Will they cram my file at the bottom of the pile out of spite?" He said, "They're not SUPPOSED to, but we're all human." He further added that it is probably better NOT TO CALL USCIS MORE THAN ONCE A MONTH. He added, "The last call of yours that I have on record is in September. The people you talked to thereafter probably did you a favor by NOT logging those calls." I asked whether the workers were flat-out irritated by "too many" calls, and he said, "Well, I won't say that they aren't, so try not to call for at least another 30 days if you haven't heard anything by then. This is one reason that they have us (contractors & ImmigOffs) running interference for them."

Well, THIS information is an eye-opening kettle of fish. "Petitioning your government for redress" (Article I, U.S. Constitution) does not apply to USCIS. This must explain why Congressional inquiries on our behalf, which used to result in action (see thread from former NSC Adjudicator), are no longer heeded.

Comments, anyone?

Well....I found you information interesting.....they must of been in a talkative mood today because....Elizabeth.......was just as informative....she actually did not read off of a script.....I am Lora and I filed at VSC June 5, 2007 so that puts me at 191 days.......anyway I explained to her frustration I have with 1. no recourse for the petitioner on the breech of contract with USCIS....2. the change of the processing date not being accurate to the reality that customer service says they are processing...ie website say less then 6 months but for 4 weeks now it has been May 19th....in fact at one point they went backwards...and 3. they are processing out of order.........she tried to override the system to get through to someone at VSC but was unable to but had her supervisor come on to the line and I talked to her she said she would write up a request for clarification........probably nothing.... about 2 of the issues.......DHS complaint line...which I downloaded the form and sent it off but I have no hope for any of it.....they are in control and really could care less....sorry to say........I have called or emailed Conressman, Senators, lawyers and I have a call out to the ACLU but nothing nada, nil.....I just hate USCIS.....the bottom line.......

O.K. guys....my morning has been on the phone so here is what I have found out.....First I did my obligitory call to USCIS customer service...I use that term lightly....and I told them that today I was at 170 days.....on December 1 I will be at 180 days and past there stated service dates of 6 months....she told me that on 181 days I can make a formal request for service.....I ask what recourse do I have as a customer who is getting bad service from this agency has....she said after they are 30 days past the 180 days making it 210 days I can put in a formal complaint which they have 60 days to respond....so I said o.k. and moved on......I called the lawyer we used and this is where I got the most information.....It took me a while but he finally came on the line to talk to me....He told me that his office had gotten at least 30 applications filed less then 45 days ago approved from Vermont....I am thinking that couple that we got from 2 weeks ago where from that group.....He said the immigration lawyers association is meeting with VSC head counsel today and hopeful will bring back some explanation of the violation of there own policies in processing these applications out of order...even if they are for training....He said that there were about 1000 pending application that are within 20 days will be outside of there service targets for K1's which then triggers some kind of internal review......He suggested that certified letters to the director of the service center from as many people as possible be sent diplomatically complaining about....1.length of time to process..2.priority of famly based application due to service to American citizens instead of work or study visas for non citizens...3. the apparent violations of there own policies of taking applications out of order to either decrease there wait time ratios or as they say training....He cautioned me to not be aggressive in the letters just ask for reason for these breaches of policy.......He also asked that we contact our Senators and Congressman and ask the same questions.......so I called both Senators offices and faxed inquiries to them and to my Congressman......I am telling you they all say the same thing about this agency......I am also composing a letter to Mr. Gonzalez and the ombudsman for USCIS.........Can you guys help.........I know some of you all are moved past my stage but this is not getting any better very quickly without pressure.......Lora

Hi everyone just wanted to share some news with ya'll. We called the service center using the RFE thing yesterday and got a very rude lady on the phone (i would like to call her something esle though) anyways, she told us that she cant give us any info on our case because we had call the PROBLEM line, HELLO???? I think we are having problems with our case mad.gif That good for nothing person didnt even asked for our case number and after minutes of feeding us some BS she just hung up on us. headbonk.gif Well, we called back again and had a nice guy this time who was really patient and had a look on the computer. He wanted to do an other service request but the system did not allow him because they have done one on dec 4th. He said that we should hear something very soon and also told us what to do when we get approved. Of course we already know what to do but we let him talk, at least some was willing to talk so we just let him. I am tired of hearing "you will get something very soon" but there is nothing we can do at the moment. The letter we sent to Senator Webb yesterday already has been delivered so maybe they will be able to do something for us.

Wow Mirla, you got touched today? I am sure thats a good sign, your approval is surely coming soon.



I heavens name, what kind of bull you guys have to listen to!!!

Yep, here's some good news from Frankfurt! My visa was approved yesterday! The Consul just took my fingerprints and that was it! I'll stay in Germany until mid June to sort out some things and will be traveling to Washington on 06/18.

The most exciting part about the whole "interview" was when I was handed a booklet called
"Welcome to the United States- A Guide for New Immigrants" biggrin.gif

Can't wait to finally become Mrs Nieto ! luv.gif

Hello ALL, Natasha and her daughter had their interview on Friday August 15 2008
she said that the man giving the interview was very pleasant, and asked Only a few questions, One of the questions was if she was taking language classes, she told him that she was and he started asking a questions in English, Natasha's daughter
had to translate for her, and the rest of the interview was in Russian. The interviewer did not ask Natasha's daughter (14 years old ) any questions.
Natasha said that she had the impression that they had already decided to give her the visa before she arrived.
So next thursday i am flying to Russia to bring them both back to the US, it has been just over 1 year and 1 month since we have been together.
I feel like my life can finally start.
I would like to thank all of you for your help. Even though i do not post very much i learned a lot from reading all of your posts, questions, and answers. biggrin.gif

4 September filers approved

Lame.


Very. How many days do you have to wait to file a formal request for service? I'm at 200 days today. helpsmilie.gif crying.gif crying.gif



Ric I am on hold with VSC because my lawyer seems to be missing in action and I think the RFE notice was sent to his office.......what a waste of money this guy has been.......so I am trying to find out about where they mailed the notice and I will ask them.......OK......God can this get much more aggrevating and insane.....September filer.....great


My very annoying cousin insisted that she could call in a favor for me to get my paper worked at because she knew senators and whatever. (she's military) I told her repeatedly that if my congressman wasn't going to be able to get anything hers wouldn't either but she was so .. rude. She was then saying she knew somebody that worked at DHS and surely they'd be able to do something- something I highly doubt. If the ombudsman puts out annual reports that go unheeded...

I had to work really really hard not to be mean, or leave the table. Not the best Christmas ever.

Are you going to keep the lawyer for the AOS and following part of the naturalization process or dump him nce you have your NOA2?




Wow....I am sorry Ric.....believe me if calling in favors from people in the government would work I would of had my Noa2 months ago....Half of the people I know work for a federal agency here in Washington.....I had a simular Christmas with my family but my rude person was my sister who decided to invite my ex husband to Christmas dinner ( he came) then proceeded to talk about illegal immigration and my inability to find a American man.......I wanted to choke her....but I reminded her that Peru is in the Americas just South America............My brother finally told her to shut up..........Now the lawyer...well he has all my money.....I paid him for everything through citizenship for Oscar.....but OMG did I get screwed here.;......I have now been on hold with the VSC for 31 minute.....but I will tell you when I talk to them........Hold on Ric....I know I know I know how hard this is.....No one understands unless you are standing in our shoes........Lora


Wow. *hugs for Lora*



Hey Ric....Officer Frank told me to have you call through to Customer Service VSC after Jan 1 because there are very few people in the office and it probably will not update the service times until after January 15.......Insane...I then asked him about September filers being approved and got the standard answer of well we are training new people ....so my suggestion to him was approve the May/June ones for training.....he said all of those crates have been assigned to officers not being used for training and apoligized for the wait..........At least he was not rude..........anyway I did have them send me the RFE notice and they had sent it to the lawyer.......this sucks.........HOLIDAYS......augh....Lora



I'm sorry, but that sounds awful about what your sister did. I can never imagine. I'm really sorry that happened to you unsure.gif



Dysfunctional would be a good word for my family. I had hoped that Christmas would of been different for my children but NO she has to preach the evils of divorce to me even though it has been since 2005......Oh well.....I can only hope that my sister has to never experience tramas in her life......Oscar is a strong loving man........and 2008 will be our year so I am hoping for the best.....thanks

But I still think this system of obtaining visas is crazy and something needs to be done.........Lora
