I opened an enuqiry in the middle of Jan and get an mail saying my case is with in processing time. Also got an lud on 2/14. As per I remember your RD is same as my RD.
I think USCIS knows everything. As I have called few times related to my son's EAD, AP and 485, I received almost all information.
You are absolutely correct, yes they have ability to check, but it all depends on their mood and our luck that day and time.
I just called and was told an inquiry was set. Let's see what will happen. Maybe nothing.
My receipt date was 7/26... wonder if they are going to send me a letter claiming that my case was still within their processing dae. The service rep said he is going to send a message (don't know how he is going to do that?) to the immigration officer. Anyway, hope this will draw someone's attention.
The service rep had access to only very general information... if they told you something other than that, I doubt you can take it seriously.
The inquiry initiated by Customer Service reps is pure BS.
I called when my 485 became one month beyond processing time and the lady asked for receipt number, full name and A#. She only acknowledged that it was out of processing time and offered to place an inquiry. I Got LUDs the day after and the next day after that. A week later got a letter from USCIS saying that they are "actively processing this case" but have had to perform "additional review" which will result in "increased processing time". The letter went on to say that if I don't receive a decision within 6 months of the date of the letter, I should call back.
I have a feeling I could be doing this dance with them for years, inquiring and getting this stupid form letter every 6 months, and in the mean time forking over cold, hard cash for EADs, APs, etc...
Hi NIW Engineer ,
I totally agree with you , my case is pending since Jan. 2004 ( more than 3 years ) , and in the last 8 months i've been calling CS and plenty of infopasses , inquieries ...etc . , they just refuse to give me an answer !!! They also reconised that my case is long way out of status , but the response is the same " you have to wait ......" , same BS all the time !!! I don't know if my NC is finished , but i wonder , 3 years + is not enough for them to do that ??? I'm just fed up with their system , and hopefully one day i'll get an answer , but i'm still continuing to pressure them , because this is just out of order , and i think they still do not do their job how suppose to be !!!

Hi NIW_Engineer,
I have had a long experience with USCIS over the past year and I have initiated inquiries on every single petition of ours before. In return, I have received letters before with the exact same language as your letter. I have come to discover that this language is very much standard and generic. It really doesn't mean much.
