OK guys, check this out.

On march 23 I received all my original documents that I sent for RFE back from USCIS with a letter stating that my case (my wife got the same thing) was approved and that the official approval notice was sent in a separate envelope. My online status didn't change however, just the last update date changed on march 18, 2005. So, I happily waited checking my mail-box every day and going online to check my status every 10 minutes. The days passed, then the weeks. I started eating my finger nails and pulling my hair out. With doubts on any success I called USCIS customer service someday around April 7, 2005 to inquire about my case and, of course, they told me that I have to wait 30 days. Today I realized that I'm going nuts and cannot wait anymore so I called again. As soon as I started talking I said "a month ago I received this letter ..." hoping that they will not ask me the exact date.
The very nice lady, Bonnie (bless her heart) took my LIN number and...

she said right away "Oh, I see what happened, we never sent it out. :eek: The person who approved your case didn't push the right buttons :confused: and never requested the approval notice to be sent out :mad: . I'll contact him and we'll send it to you right away :) ."

What a relief :p

OMG Alex_e38-

I wish I could say I am shocked. It is so sad how unphased I am by the incompetent actions of the immigration officers. They have no clue that they are dealing with someone's life. "didn't push the right buttons"...my $#^#!

Don't worry - the approval note will have the date you got approved in March and so your GC should be backdated to March 2004.

Please keep in touch - let us know what is happening with you. And don't disappear from this forum like countless others after they got adjusted. :D

Again - congrats to both you and your wife.
