Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / July 2005Last written notice returned as undeliverable - please advice
Hello, On July 6th we checked my wife's status online, and noticed that the usual "We received your applications..." message was changed to the following: "Our last written notice in this case was returned as undeliverable by the post office on July 5, 2005. To update the mailing address so this notice can be re-sent, please call the National Customer Service Center" This after I sent the AR-11 and I-865 right after we moved. We even called to let them know (more than once) that we had changed our address when the biometrics appointment was sent to the old address. So, when we called the following morning to ask which address they had in their system, they told us that they had the new address and didn't know what could've happened. They said they would send another letter (but couldn't tell me what it was) and to call back if we haven't received it in 1 month. So, what do you think we should do? - Wait one month and call back if we haven't received anything? - Get an infopass now? (I would hate it just so they can say: "we told you to wait one month!") - Wait one month, and either get an infopass or hire a lawyer if we haven't heard from them? I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you so much. Alex > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > Alex This one. Ian I'm sorry, which one? I don't see your response. Thank you. Alex >> Hello, >> [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > >Ian Hi, Changing addresses with the CIS does seem problematic. It took three attempts to get CIS to change my address on their records, and even then, the Washington DC district office still sent my AOS interview letter to my old address. You've probably already done most if not all of this already, but here's what I would do: 1. Send another AR-11 to the DHS. 2. Write to the local CIS office that is handling your case, telling them of your new address. Also tell them that you have sent an AR-11 to the DHS. 3. Wait out the one month and make an infopass appointment, take copies of the AR-11 and the letter you sent in (2) above. This *eventually* worked for me. Good luck, I hope you get it sorted out... Cheers, Steve. Thank you Steve, I appreciate the information.

Alex, Ian said 'this one' in reply to your ''Wait one month, and either get an infopass or hire a lawyer if we haven't heard from them?''. He quoted you, but since he posts through the British Expats website, the quote didn't show up for you (since you go through Usenet). Elaine  SignatureHelp Find Jason! Missing since 2001. Read his story at http://tinyurl.com/bvt4l Thank you Elaine, maybe I should start posting/reading from the British Expats website so that I don't miss anything :) Then I will wait and then get an Infopass and if that doesn't help me, then I will get a lawyer. Thank you again for the explanation. Alex >> Thank you Steve, I appreciate the information. >> [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > >Elaine > Thank you Steve, I appreciate the information. > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Cheers, > > Steve. Your most welcome. As for your EAD question, going by my experience with the Washington DC office, about now would be the right time to submit the renewal to get the new card by October. I was holding off on renewing my card in August last year (it was due to expire in October) because I thought my AOS interview was imminent. I decided to renew it, and a good thing too, because I didn't get my AOS interview until just last week! BTW, I e-filed for my renewal, it didn't seem to come any quicker than when I snail-mailed the original application. Just wondering why your wife needs the EAD for her driver's licence renewal? Does she not have other means of ID that she can use? If she isn't working I'm not sure why she needs an EAD... Cheers, Steve. > Your most welcome.

Hi Steve, Many states base the expiration of the Drivers License on the expiration of the EAD. Arizona is one of them, also.

You learn something new everyday! Thank you Steve and Rene. I will be renewing her EAD tonight for sure. Thanks again. Alex R. >> Your most welcome.

You need to notify any District Office and Service Center where you have a pending case to update your actual mailing address. InfoPass might be necessary for whatever you missed, and you can *double check* at that point that they've rc'd your WRITTEN mailing address change. If you search the forum on 'change address' or similar, you'll see a list of about 5 or 6 steps that you need to do to get your addy change through. Thank you. I probably should've said that I moved about 2 years ago, and that we notified the District Office and Service Center (more than once). Even after we called the 1800 number to change our address we called twice more to make sure they had it in their system. I still have no idea why they would have problems sending it to the right address. Another question, if you don't mind: My wife's EAD card expires in October. Would it be wise to start the online renewal now? Even though we may hear from them regarding the interview soon? She doesn't work, but needs it to renew her driving license. Thank you.

Hi Alex, Yes, I'd go ahead and renew the EAD now. Seems lately they are taking right at 90 days to process, so now is the time to renew. You never know if your interview will come sooner or later, and as you said she needs it to renew her drivers license. We did the same for my alien husband...he used the renewed EAD to get his new State ID, but never needed it for work, as our interview came just before his current EAD expired. Oh well...better safe than sorry! :) Best Wishes, Rene Hello, Well, today I checked our status online, and guess what? Another " Our last written notice.." message was posted, dated July 26th. Exact same message, even though they told us they had the right address! What are my options at this point? I will be calling on Monday, but I'm afraid they will ask me to wait another month, and I don't know if they will see me even if I get Infopass (they will probably tell me the same thing "wait another month"). Does anyone know of a good lawyer in Virginia? (especially Fairfax, or even the DC area). I just don't know what else to do at this point. Thank you for all your help.
