Since the stupid fax wouldn?t work today as typical. I called and said could I get a mailing address...Has to push for call back from someone hgiher. So really cant mail stuff to NBC now. NBC is protected like a **** * fortress I guess.

Not done. It's a long story. We submitted our request with the applications on 03-16-18. They simply ignored it and probable tossed away the evidence of the emergency. So now 13 phone calls later, finally the request was acknowledged, but they need evidence - not ADDITIONAL... but evidence. In other words, some mailroom worker tossed what we mailed on 03-16-18. I have been trying to fax to those 2 numbers at all times of the day and night. Nothing.

The Senator inquiry got all messed up because we changed our address, so now the USCIS congressional unit told the senator there was a discrepancy with our address. Ok, fine. Yes, we did move but we maintain both addresses. I have been in Minnesota since 2010. I am registered to vote there too. SO WHAT if I want to have 3 homes or 4 or 9?

Instead of acknowledging that USCIS made an error by ignoring the requests, it seems the congressional unit is looking for ways to dismiss the request. The whole thing is backwards. And of course, both senators in NC are republican. LOL

So I am just hoping that whole thing about my case being assigned to an officer for response of 06-13-18 does in fact mean that we are in line for interviews. I am thinking that "interview scheduled" updates will start going out between tonight and next Monday.

Do you have the same fax number?

insanity is the USCIS method...ill pm you...

There are many levels. The level 3 also reached out to his supervisor (level 4) while we were discussing my case. I just keep getting my call escalated until I get someone who has answers that make sense. Telling me that the Case Inquiry date of May 20th, 2016 is the date of the cases that the Raleigh office is processing, is a giveaway that the officer does not know what he/she is doing. So I keep escalating after I explain to them that is not what the case inquiry date is.

Disclaimer: "Do not try this at home"

Either way, they are not immigration officers. They're all at the contact center "out-West". They're not at the NBC.

All the best,

USCFFS

Thank you. I feel sometimes the operator just say something to comfort people but they know nothing about your case.

Yup, they?re reading off a script like robots.

Interview done!

Hi everyone!

So we just had our interview this morning (Raleigh, NC field office). After waiting for a bit, we had a very young officer greet us. He asked the standard questions and it was all over after just 10 minutes. Unfortunately, we did not get approved on the spot. He said that he would now review the documents but "everything else looks good to me." I've already received updates about my I130 that the interview was concluded and the form is now "under review." I really want the "card being in production" update soon! I am relieved but also not.. a clearer answer would have been nicer (he gives us the standard "if you don't hear back from us within 30 days, do an InfoPass appointment).

UPDATE: At 3:14, I got another text update for my i485 this time. "we ordered your new card" YAY - my GC should be on its way soon!!!

is copy of Interview Notice sufficient?

Hi Forum Experts,

This may be a dumb question and given the lack of knowledge I have on bar/scan codes, I am trying to figure out the significance of the bar/scans codes on the USCIS notices.

My lawyer always scans the USCIS notices sent to his office and then forwards that to me through email. Now someone told me the Interview Notice gets scanned when you enter the USCIS building. If thats is the case, does scanning the original copy and printing it out affect the ability to be scanned?


Thank you

I guess some states do things differently but upon entering the building I passed through security check and they asked to see ID. It's like at the airport where u put your belongings (including belt) in the plastic container that gets scanned and then I entered a room looking like a lobby where there were long lines and seats. That's where u give your interview letter and ID. They scan it and give u a ticket. They keep it. U don't get it back.

Disappointing Interview

I had my i485 interview, EB2 employment, Cross chargeability to ROW.

The interview started on a stern tone, and once all the job and marriage related questions were asked, the topic of cross chargeability came up and I explained how it's applicable to me. The officer said the dates for both the countries are not current. I explained that I have checked the USCIS visa bulletin last week and it was currently, the officer said it is not current now.

I could not hold the argument on the priority dates as the interview was pretty intimidating

And after going through all the documents, I was handed off of a notice which stated somewhere on the lines, the interview is completed, however the priority date is not current, the application will be sent back to TSC or NSC and they will take the decision once the priority date is current.

Any ideas, thoughts from the forum experts will be much appreciated. I know the dates are current, how to proceed in having USCIS acknowledge the ROW cross changeability and make a decision?

Thank you
