Well, for those of you that dont remember, my wife was denied adjustment to permanent resident because I lost my job, was given time to get a joint cosponsor, got the joint cosponsor and paperwork in given time, but was denied anyway, before our joint cosponsors paperwork was looked at and/or considered. (Even though the guy that we recently talked with at Garden City "claimed" that our cosponsors paperwork was considered at the time of decision...but I think he just did not want to admit they dropped the ball)

Anyhow, a few weeks ago we went back to Garden City to look into our case, point out that we got the cosponsors paperwork to them in the time given by our interviewing officer, and to try to persuade them to change the decision.

The person at the window "claimed" the supervisor had all the paperwork, including cosponsors affidavit of support, etc, and did a "service" motion to reopen on their own, but were going to give the interviewing officer, that they "claimed" was not there that day, the opportunity to look over everything again and come to a conclusion and decision.

This was 2 weeks ago and I havent heard anything since.

WHAT THE HELL COULD TAKE SO LONG? LOOK AT THE JOINT COSPONSORS PAPERWORK, DECIDE IF EVERYTHING IS THERE AND THAT THEY CAN OR CANNOT SUPPORT MY WIFE IN AN EMERGENCY AND MAKE A DECISION! IT DOESNT SEEM THAT DIFFICULT.

Anyhow, the guy that we spoke to "claimed" that my wifes I-130 was approved but the I-485 was still pending a decision because of my employment status and/or new information (cosponsors paperwork).

But at the USCIS website they both still say "case received and pending decision".

And, we were not given any new paperwork to "prove" that the case was still being considered, and not just simply disapproved as the final written notice (the decision) had stated.

What does it mean that the I-130 is approved but the I-485 is not yet?

Why havent they at least given us something stating that?

How can I be certain the I-130 was approved?

Should I wait longer or pay them, yet again, ANOTHER visit to politely push them along?

Hello:

Yes I remember you. Glad to hear from you again. It seems from what you are saying that they are working on your application. They might be correcting your situation. In any case, you would need to allow them 30 days before getting too upset. If they have approved your wifes I-130, then they are reviewing your I-485 again and may remedy their "bad decision". Maybe you should call the toll-free number and frustrate them again! (they deserve it!). But dont give up. It feels like everything will work out for you now that they have the co-sponsors information.

WHY should it take them 30 days or more with ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS in their possession when it took them only 2 days after the interview to disapprove my wife for change to permanent resident?

It seems like they are TOTALLY READY to get off their freakin asses as long as they have bad news to give you.

And HOW DO I KNOW FOR SURE they HAVE approved our I-130?

And HOW DO I KNOW FOR SURE they ARE reviewing our I-485 again?

HOW DO I KNOW they are doing something and I am not waiting around for nothing?

bump!

anyone else?
