Hi guys,
I have been disconnected from this forum. I was tired, angry, frustrated and.... I better write my history of the last 3 weeks:
02/25/10: Went the the Appointment. Form the beginning she told us that she doesn't know why our case is on this office because we moved and now we are supposed to be attending to another office. Well, she continues and everything was smooth, everything normal but The officer "needed to verify that we have not been illegally at any moment in this country".. WT..??? Why if I have been under a H1B during 7 years and with a new renewal on the way.!!! Well, this is what she wanted. The I-94 was not sufficient nor the information that she found on the system about me. BTW, is Thursday afternoon, she doesn't work on Friday and Monday the office is closed, and because we moved recently, she will submit the case to the other office.
We waited one week and went to the new office (Infopass): the file have not been arrived. They told us that they will call or send a notification by mail in less than a week.
We waited again and nothing arrived the next two weeks. We took another Infopass on 03/26, and talked to a super nice Brazilian guy who was shocked when he heard our history and verified the case on the system. He notified the supervisor and we waited until they called us to talk. The supervisor explained to us that it was a gross mistake to put our case to wait because everything is OK and she was passing our folders to her best officer to proceed with our interview immediately. And there we go, talking to a grandma who was like an angel, and in less than 10 minutes they came with the verification of the visa availability and we have our passport stamped and all the information in the system. Finally the supervisor and an another lady came in to ask who was the officer and to tell them all the details about the first interview.
In the afternoon I received the confirmations via email from USCIS, then on Thursday the confirmation of card production and today Saturday we received the welcome letters. I guess next week we have our cards.
Moral of the story : Carry with you every single piece of paper that can be useful to demonstrate all the single points that they need to verify .
