Folks,

I spoke to IIO last evening. She told that my case is assigned to an officer on Feb 19th and I should hear something withing 30 to 60 days. Chances are tt may get approved before that. Mine is 01-270 case and I did not get RFE so far. I feel a little optimistic here.
 
Your case is old you will get an RFE for empl. verification.

Mine is 01-280 and I got this RFE in mid December.

No news since them... 4 faxes sent within the last 6 months
 
Also talked to an IIO

I've also talked to an IIO last night (2/27/03).

After about 15 minutes of repeat dialing I finally got though ... to waiting for about 20 minutes before my call was picked up around 5:45PM.

The IIO seemed bored to death and the info she gave me was completely useless.

1. "Your case has not been pulled off the shelf"

2. "There is a possibility your case will be assigned in about 2 weeks" ... but "call back if you don't hear from us in 45-60 days."
How encouraging ... basically they give you the same standard message to get rid of you.

3. "You know that it could take up to 2 years from the ND to get the actual plastic card in your hands"
This is a first - that means that it could take up to (it could be more, it could be less) another 9 months to get the card - again very useful info :(

4. I've asked her to address the slow processing. She said that they're getting trucks full of mail every day that they need to handle. But of course no comment in response to my statement that if they won't touch our cases then they'll end up receiving exponentially more mailing from each of us for fingerprints expirations, AP, EADs etc.

By the way, what's up with the fingerprints expiration - I always thought that's a unique identifier - has that changed with INS?

Overall, I won't waste any more of my time to call the INS - it certainly won't speed up the processing.

Happy waiting y'all :mad:
WAC-02-041-5####
ND: Nov' 2001
 
Caviar,

Is it necessary that all old cases get RFE? my WAC is 01-296-xxx
I haven't got any RFE yet.

I spoke to the IIO yesterday and he asked me to call back in 3-4 weeks to find out about the by which time it should be done. When he said "done", did he mean that I'll be getting an RFE?

Its all very confusing... God bless INS....

Junior,

IIo answeing my call also sounded like in your case. I also understood that my case should be approved without RFE
within 30 days from the way IIO had said. Now, I did not want to bring the topic of RFE unnecessarily.

Folks,

Has anyone got approved after one year of waiting without RFE at all?
 
Yeah... your case got assigned. So what? Mine got assigned last November and it's now back to nowhere. Everybody is a lil bit optimistic. Yuck.
 
Saying something with this certainty ("You will get RFE") is stupid. I would rather say "The chances are that you may get an RFE".

I know atleast one guy who got approval without RFE and his case was over a year old.
 
there were 2 guys on this forum who got approved with out an RFE with WACs 01-296 I think... (Don't shoot me if I'm wrong)

My case is one such example

I got approved after 16 months that too without any RFE. So, it is not true that you would definately get RFE if case is older than 1 yr. Chances are that these people are just sitting on applications, and sometimes they send your files to storage facility assuming it has been approved (as they did in my case).
WAC 01-268 approved in Nov 02.
 
INS CSC works only between 9 AM and 3:30 PM PST

I just tried calling INS (or whatever it is called now) CSC and heard that we can speak to an IIO only between 9 AM and 3:30 PM PST.
