Gurus,
Please read my story and help me on my situation.
1) In 2003 I filed I-140 EB-1 EA
2) USCIS issued RFE and my lawyer replied to it in Feb-04
3) In April-2004, I-140 denied along with I-485 etc
4) I filed I-290B (Appeal) on May-02-2004
5) On May 24th 2004, I received a notice of action from USCIS which says:
"This is to advise you that we have forwarded the above appeal, motion...to the AAO in Washignton DC. That office will inform you of the decision on appeal"
6) That was the last info I heard from them. I did not use a lawyer to file I-290B because he asked me $2K just to file the appeal (after doing a bad job initially).
7) After the fraustrated wait till Jan-2005, I called USCIS (as the AAO processing time for EB-1EA is 8 months as on Dec-28-2005), and today I recived a letter (in response to my call) from USCIS which shows as follows:
" Our records indicate that we denied the underlined case and a notice explaining our decision was sent on Aug 16, 2005 to the address on file. On September 09, 2005 an I290B (WAC052445XXXX) was filed. To this date, your has not been returned to us from AAO. As soonest we receive a recommendation from AAO, we will contact you."
My Problems are these:-
A) I filed my I-290B in May 2005 (not on Sept 09, 2005 as mentioned by USCIS).
b)The I-290B receipt # mentioned in USCIS letter is not my receipt #. When I checked that receipt #, it shows that USCIS received it on October-18th 2005, where my original I290B is has a RD of May-02-2005.
c)In this same letter that I received today, USCIS mentioned my original I-290B # on the heading, and the filing date on the heading is May-02-2005. Thats means in one letter they mentioned 2 different I-290Bs with different receipt dates.
I don't know what is going on. Anybody who know the USCIS procedure, please advise me what to do. I am not using a lawyer, and I depend on this forum to get answers. What are my options? Should I write to tell them that you are looking at someone else's I-290B, not mine?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot
