ellis-island Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) I've had a few people report to me that VSC has reaffirmed their petitions without any NOIR/NOID letters being sent. That speaks highly of the VSC adjudications staff. They are reviewing consular refusals and finding some are legally insufficient to justify revocation proceedings. So they reaffirm the approvals and send the petitions back to the various consulates that should have never refused the visas in the first place. Thumbs up to VSC adjudicators! They know what they are doing. This is nothing new with Vermont. But I hadn't seen it in awhile. Suddenly, I've seen several pop up. Let's hope CSC takes note. That is a sure-fire way to clear up the backlog of expired K-1's at CSC. Edited June 17, 2009 by ellis-island (see edit history) Link to comment
ellis-island Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) A gent called me from the US today. He's not a client yet. His lawyer had referred him to me. He said, "Mr. Ellis, I just got an approval notice for my K-1 from Vermont Service Center. The consulate had sent it back. Now what do I do? Do I send in a rebuttal?" Nope. Don't send in rebuttals to approval notices. "Congratulations," I said. "You won. Now get her prepared for next interview that's coming down the road." VSC had - like I mentioned in my post above, reaffirmed his petition approval without sending out an NOID. It found the consulate's memorandum legally insufficient, and it reaffirmed. Service Centers have the authority to do that. I wish CSC would start doing it more often with I-130's. Edited June 19, 2009 by ellis-island (see edit history) Link to comment
