First I was going to title the post "I don't believe this!"...
But that is oh-so-common of exclamation when dealing with the immigration process...
The EAD (I-765) for my wife probably wouldn't have gone through otherwise because of the "stop check" on the fees (see older post from me (http://immigrate2us.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1548)), but we had the entire packet, with uncashed checks, returned to us yesterday. Mind you this was sent in at the end of July, including a letter of what was then my impending deployment date of November 1st (it has now moved forward by a few days, to October 29th). The letter on top is stamped October 10th, and states:
"Per the USCIS announcement issued on June 21, 2007, USCIS instructs applicants that on or after August 29th, 2007 to direct file their forms that were transistioned during the 2006 Bi Specialization initiative... mumble, mumble..."
Translation: If we delay your processing we are just going to tell you the new way that we changed the process during the delay, and you have to refile an already delayed petition.
The kicker to me is the bottom of the form:
"Sincerely,
[no name or signature]
Director
Texas Service Center"
How can someone be sincere if they don't put their name on it?...
Give me a name! Grow some and talk to me like a man! Lack of being able to be around sharp things like pens or pencils leads me to develop a theory:
There is a few scribbles in the corners (AO's 3-year old sister maybe), everything stapled (be careful with that dangerous thing!), and stamped (it could be an adult that changes the date on those, and hides the approval stamp because the kids will probably want to use it as much as the red rejection and disapproval stamps)...
Whoops, we'll have to tell the applicant their packet was incomplete for that form you made into a paper airplane...
It explains a lot!!!!!
