Hi All,

I need your help and suggestions. In November of last year my wife and I submitted our medicals and AOS applications. Our checks were never cashed. I informed my lawyer after a month of not seeing the checks cash and raised the question then. They replied that there is a lot of mail going through that room and just wait a bit more. Another month went by, nothing. Then another.

Here it is March 2009 and my lawyer finally contacts USCIS to find out that they cannot find my original application. (no receipt notice was issued) During the entire last year and right up until March my Prioirty Date was always current. Now there is SEVERE retrogression and my PD date is now not current.

We have to refile. I re-wrote the checks and we are submitting the package again.

How can we demand that our application be accepted based on the original filing date of November when we were current?

would the dated medicals prove that we submitted in November. Who would get their paperwork done then sit on it for months right?!?!?!

How do we challenge USCIS based on their error. My lawyer said they have a delivery confirmation for the original application however I have not seen that.

thanks!
