I took my withdraw letter to the NSC in person. They took me to this office where I had to wait for about 15 minutes. There were stacks of files all over the floor. They were labeled I-145--denials--approvals-etc. I thought of Humbados. But I did'nt know his real name so I could not take a peek and see if his were in there. On the wall they had a board that had the amount of I-145's they had to do that year. Over 4000. By this month of september they are about 1000 in the whole. So, I see now why everything is behind and even why a few things might get lost.
The guy finally arrived. I was suprised he genuinly seemed concerned. He took my letter and told me he was afraid that it would get lost amongst all the paperwork he had. He asked me to e-mail him the letter, and he promised he would respond. He immediatly assigned someone to find Thai's alien #. It is not an easy task, even if you have an SS# on the guy. If I would have had that simple #, he would have filled out a denial letter right then and there. But, he told me the whole thing would take 2 to 3 months. The most important thing I need to do ,he said , was to stay in contact with him, and make sure it does not get lost in the shuffle. He said to e-mail him once a week and ask how things are going.
If anyone is ever having problems, or is a little weary of their marrage, make sure you have that alien #. It's very important. I got lucky, I got the superviser in charge of I-145's. The sob has a freakin masters decree. I thought you only needed an associates to work for the ins.
