Still no card
Hi All,
Seems like everyone is having the same issue. I wanted to share my experience and hope it helps to know that we are not alone in this struggle :).
Its been 181 days and I still dont have my card. here are the details
-Sep 29th 2017 USCIS (National Benefit Center office) received my application (through marriage to US Citizen, i-485)
-Oct 28th they asked for initial/additional info for the i-485. Like some ppl have said, this was complete BS because we had already sent the things they asked for. so we sent them again(nov 8th) anyway with more clarifications. seems like they do this intentionally to buy more time
-Feb 8th Expedite request submitted because i had two job offers by then. Feb 12 they asked for proof of job offer and i faxed it the same day. didnt hear anything back regarding that expedite for 3 weeks so i faxed it again just in case.
-March 5th Ombudsman office request submitted online. i got a response from them on march 21st saying they contacted uscis on behalf of me.
-Called 1-800 number dozen times since begenning of feb. called level 2 as well. they just all keep telling me to wait.
-march 19th i did get an email from uscis for one of my service requests saying that they are now reviewing my case.
- i lost one of the job offers already because of the delay.
-its been more than a month and a half since my expedite request and i still dont have the card or a formal approval of the expedite request from uscis
I dont know how they work. According to this forum some people who submitted couple of months after me had already gotten their cards. so it doesnt seem like they are processing applications in the order in which they received them. Only thing i havent tried is the congressmen. i thought ombudsman will be enough.
