hi samath,

I sincerely understand your frustration,because even I went through the same phase.Again it depends,According to INS ,the maximum time is 60 ...


My Application was upgraded to PP. After 13 days of upgrade, RFE was generated. It has been 2 weeks since the lawyer sent the response, but the website does not even show that INS has received RFE response.
 
hi sumit,

By post,it takes maximum 4 days to reach the INS.The INS in a day or two updates the site .In ur case,looks like u will have to call INS and find out.
 
I did, and and they say that they have not received it. I think they have misplaced it, because the lawyer claims to have a proof of the receipt. I am pressurizing my consultant to ask the lawyer to send it one more time.

hi sumit,

Actually ur lawyer can track using the reciept number if the response has recieved the INS.If so,u can produce proof to the INS.
Sending the response again is not a good idea because the INS requires u to
send the original RFE form sent to u by the INS.Since u have already sent it with the response,sending the response again will not work.
 
hi eugseb,

thanks for the information,but in PP also some cases moving slow,i have noticed that.so i am thinking about that,any way i don't have job offer right now.i am not able to decide about PP(because some PP cases also slow) but
waiting from long time with out guaranty of approval is very painfull....:(


Rgds,

looks like it is common that cis does not update all the cases.... hopefully, they don't misplace/lose it......anyway, ur 15 days is nearly over after u sent ur rfe. if u don't get a response within 15 days, get ur money back!..keep us posted...so shall i.
 
I suspect that CIS has misplaced it. I am calling my consultant on a daily basis, inorder to pressurize the lawyer. Nothing seems to be working. Will let this forum know if there is any movement.

The consultant says lawyer is non responsive. He has asked me not to contact the lawyer directly. I do not know what he talks to the lawyer, but so far the online status does not even show that they have received the RFE response. I fear they have lost my paper.

after 15 days of rfe recd by CIS, the status was updated late today afternoon as below....

"On November 17, 2006, we received your response to our request for evidence or information. However because preliminary processing was complete, the remaining processing time will be less than the maximum stated in this message. You will receive a written decision on this case. You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done. Follow the the link below for current processing dates".

the update may have happened after my lawyer followed up with CIS today...looks like CIS were not sure whether they had my papers; so they did not update...after my lawyer called, CIS realized they had all the papers!!!...i can't understand how this could happen!! anyway, hopefuly, my petition should get approved soon....
 
my status was again updated today as below...has anyone ever seen such an update after rfe or is it only done whey they have to do thorough fingerprinting/background checks ..... i am worried about (a) the processing time (2 months or even more) and (b) the petition getting approved without I-94 (as I have read in these forums) that would require me to go out of the country for stamping....any feedback would be appreciated.
