Messed up EAD case
Need suggestions on what I can do.
I sent my EAD papers on Nov 1st. RD 6th, ND 21st. Since then, I haven\'t heard anything.
I waited waited waited .. waited .. and one day I decided to call up IIO. The lawyer did that for me, and the lawyer was told that there will be an RFE. I was like .. Ok .. fine .. RFE big deal, my case is clean and clear, I\'ll reply to the RFE, and everything will be just fine.
So I wished, the RFE never showed up, we sent a fax request .... 1 month later nothing came up.
A month later, I called again, and was told that there has never been an RFE, and the case was assigned to an officer on April 8th. I was like .. Ok it is assigned, in 1 month, I will get it. Big deal. One month later, I still hadn\'t received it. So I decided to take a day off work, and go get iEAD. Went to san jose, stood in line for 5 hours on a cold friday morning, only to be told .. I need to go to Los Angeles. *(&#$(*&#(*$&#.
Fine .. I\'ll comply by the rules (so INS can screw me further), I took two days off (one day to go to LA, and one to fight with the WORSE lines down there). Only to show up to the window and be told .... THERE IS AN RFE on your case .. sorry we can\'t give iEAD. I said, but I never got an RFE, they verified my address, which was correct of course, and neither me nor my attorney, has gotten an RFE. So I came back with no iEAD.
Called up INS, spoke to IIO, and IIO told me, that an RFE was generated on 3/12/02, we sent it twice, didn\'t hear back, so we are putting your case for cancellation. CRAP !! I FIND IT HARD .. to believe that .. 4 peices of mail, were lost .. all four of them, sent at different times to two different addresses. I know USPS looses stuff at times, but I know they are NOT THIS BAD !!!
So .. we sent an URGENT level 2 fax enquiry, asking them not to cancel the case and if possible fax us the RFE or atleast send it again. (The lawyer did, and I know he is not lying because I have seen the fax transmittal sheets).
So .. to get another opinion, I recalled INS. And the INS officer told me .. that we never mailed out anything. No RFE has ever been generated your case hasn\'t been processed.
So .. moral of the story .. .. to date .. me and my lawyer have sent two faxes,
Talked to five IIO\'s gotten 5 different answers.
Been waiting for close to 7 MONTHS (YES SEVEN), for EAD .. I-765 employment based. No RFE, no Card, No Approval, No Change in AVM, no iEAD even.
I have written this same story to Senators and leading newspapers. Especially since INS claims they have processed all 765\'s before January 2nd.
But ....................................... crux of the story. I am still waiting, with no hope in sight.
Anyone has any better legal ideas what to do? Any help appreciated. Thanks !!!
