On February 14, 2005, we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence or information in this case. The notice explains in detail what additional material is needed. If you have questions about the notice, what is required, or if 14 days have passed and you have not received the notice, please call the National Customer Service Center at (800) 375-5283.

I still didn't receive my RFE and I'm kind of worried. Although 14 days didn't pass, I called them at the phone number provided. However, they said that if the 14 days have passed, call the office were I submitted my application. So, what is the phone number you have to call?? I’m assuming Nebraska. Anybody knows?
 
What is your timeline nofreedom?
I would say wait till Monday. you'll get it. Did you ask the rep to give you the phone # of nebraska service center?
 
didn't talk to the rep. It said on the phone that rep should not have more information than the one on the web site and that I should call center directly.
 
I've had the same situation

My wife and I got separate e-mail notices on Feb 11, 2005 that on Feb 9, 2005 they sent us an RFE notice. Well, my wife received it on Feb 15, 2005 but i didn't so on Feb 18 I called them to inquire just like you and they told me to wait 14 days and call again. So on Feb 23, 2005, around 10:00AM I called them at (800) 375-5283 and they entered into their system a request to resend the RFE and I got an e-mail notice the same day that they re-sent the RFE the same day. Ironically I received the first RFE they sent the very next day on Feb 24, 2005 exactly 15 days after they have sent it.

Hopefully this is the light at the end of a very, very dark tunnel. According to other people's exepriences my wife and I should, God willing, be approved within a couple of weeks.

Trust the postal service(my employer)..IT wont be lost! Sometimes if even if a last name is spelled wrong, manual key entry is required to find if the addresse is really the addresse it is going to.

If it can determine your address..it being the computer or the manual entry clerk then it will be sent back to the USCIS within 3 days..In the 14 days, someone should have it back..You or the addressor..."unknown mail" is sorted out in 2 business days Flat...
 
true wantmygcnow, we will wait. after all, it takes a long time to receive a letter from the USCIS sweat shop somewhere in third country. Outsourcing is the answer to our prayers :D

hey imagine if they have outpost in philipines or china, they would start approving 2010 cases by now :-)
 
Off the topic

My brother in law sent me a post card from Austria last year and as he doesn't speak english and is not familiar with the addressing format used in US he messed up the address completely.
The ZIP code ended up being the house number, the house number ended up being a ZIP code, the city ended up being a portion of the street name, and another portion of the street name ended up being the city.
Only the country (US) and my name was right.

However, after some 6 weeks I eventually received it. I guess USPS has some connections with NSA as they were able to decipher it. I was really impressed.

How about

How about if their salary is based solely on commission? If they get paid on the number of applications they process, I guarantee you there will not be any backlog.

Outsourcing, commission-based compensation, other ideas anyone? I think capitalism will be the best solution to the INS problem.

Cheerio

California case

Did you guys read about the case in California about a year ago where a manager of the processing department there decided to solve the backlog by shredding some 50,000 employment based applications.

Unbelivable!

If I remember right he was fired and there were criminal charges or something brought against him but that didn't help poor people who had to file everything again after waiting for so long

Good Suggestions

Good suggestions Tort Feasor,
I think there could be another suggestion to make them work on the weekend (Mendatory) without any extra compensation until they catch up. If they don't like it fire their ass. I'm sure USCIS can find a lot of cometent workers (Especially foreigners) who would love to help them out.
 
I think they already use outsourcing (according to my lawyer) Wouldn't be surprise if my RFE goes to some dude in Fed Prison somewhere for processing :D
 
samoel! no your attorney is wrong. The only outsource Mail contractors, who deliver mail.

Once there was an article on ilw.com that a group of attorney went inside the Texas service center, Mesquite and Nebraska Service center, Lincoln. They said that the buildings looked like prisons where there were no windows and old fashioned steel doors. One attorney says that worker's have to put their belongings inside a locker room before they entered area where they would work on applications. So they have their desks assigned to them where they would process applications. In the evening, they would leave empty handed and pick their belonging outside the premises.

One attorney says that there was a picture of statue of Liberty and underneath it said "If you steal from this facility, you steal from her". The applications were adjucated under a very tight process.

So if all obove is true, then why CIS is so pathetic in processing applications??? The attorney said that the mail brought in every day was so big in volume, that it had to hauled through those trailers (has anybody worked for a manufacturing plant). He mentions that workers had to work continously from 8-5PM. Attorney also mentioned that all the staff was obviously overworked. There was an environment of slight chaos. He said that after seeing all this, he wondered why more applications are not lost.

So all these attorneys reached a conclusion to which we all should agree. Culprit is not CIS, it is partly US Congress who does not allocate sufficient funds to CIS to operate efficeintly.

HOnestly guys, after reading this true story of group of attorney, I had developed some sympathy for CIS. These are mostly minimum wage workers and I wonder myself now why more applications are not lost.

Also I am more than sure that they would have to process all 33,000 additional visas without any additional help and with the same work force. God Bless US.
 
How about taking out the human factor thing..and make it all automated. For instance making RTD For approved asylee automatic..2-3 days. Its not hard to do..if you are an asylee and RTD=Not in possesion, Issue you a new one...

Also the work authorization..can be automatic. There are so many things they can automate....which can cut the load by 50% but after working for the GOVT I have found out that THEY LOVE PAPER! Everything has to be ON PAPER. From Timesheets to Sick Leave to Vacations..Paper is a way to prove thing..a signature..Which means development of ONLINE signatures which could reduce all this paperwork...I could go on and on..but!

can you get a postal job without a greencard? i was granted a political asylum july 2004, thanks :)
 
You dont need a gc for postal job however you have to be present in the U.S.A for 7 years. They do sensitive clearance which doesnt require u.s citizenship but requires 7 years of presence in U.S so that they can run through your background.
