Folks,

I am in a dire situation. I received on Sep 15th 2008 the dreaded email "request for initial evidence sent case placed on hold". Neither my lawyers nor the employer has received that letter and now its being 45 days and now nothing yet in spite of repeated requests from lawyers and employer to the USCIS.


What are my option here?
 
Additional details please help!

140 (substitution) filed February 2007 using previously approved labor via Nebraska service center (EB2 category)

Applied and received 485 receipt number in October 2007, went for finger printing in November, EAD cards arrived.

employer changed office space locations in March 2008 no update was provided to USCIS as we just shifted certain operations to a bigger space and older address still valid for receiving letters

May 2008 140 case transferred from Nebraska to Texas service center

September 2008 dreaded email from USCIS automated systems "RFE request for initial evidence case placed on hold"

waited 10 days no response Lawyers called 1st time to USCIS help line received response that about duplicate notice sent. re-verified addresses for both lawyers and employers

15th day from RFE notice employer called USCIS (applicate cannot speak as 140 cases pertain to employer)updated address for employer provided

20th day from RFE notice Lawyers called again help line same response indicating another notice sent. Lawyers also send letter out to Nebraska service center indicating not receiving of RFE letter

28th day from RFE notice employer calls again (this time 800 number found on immigration portal website belived to be the 800 number for Texas service center) same response. USCIS officials issue a tracking case # and indicate that employer would either receive email within 5 working days or notice within 2 weeks.

30th day from RFE notice Lawyer call USCIS again about not receiving the RFE documents. New letter drafted and sent to the Texas service center.

Lawyers ask for assistance from ALA (American Lawyers Associations) for determination of status of RFE

Today we stand at the 43rd from the date of email from USCIS about RFE and no letter has yet being received by either employer or Lawyers

what am I supposed to do? what are my options?

Please help if anyone has had a similar situation with delays of RFE notice and how they responded. If you request to reply privately please send me a Private message with contact detail and best time to call or contact
