Where For Art Thou USCIS?

It's been one month since USCIS received our country change request. I realize in USCIS time that's not really long, but it still makes me nervous. It might be easier to be confident if it wasn't so darn difficult to get a hold of these people.

The toll free number is maddening. The online case search says my receipt number is not valid (this is the receipt number that is printed on my correspondence from them, mind you). I did manage to get an e-mail address, but it says you should only use it if it is an emergency. I have to wonder if I chose to use it for a non-emergency, would my case get moved to the bottom of the pile as punishment for my inability to comply?

Anyway, not that it is currently an urgent matter, but now that my dossier is off my plate it would just be good to have that updated I-171H in my hot little hands. It would also cut down on the incessant stalking of my mailbox every day between noon & 1...

I really do not understand what this is but hope it comes soon or you find out what you need.

Ugh...I share your frustrations! That 1-800 # is useless! I am on a fingerprinting update frenzy with no luck getting responses until I emailed....after about 15 calls, being on hold, hearing a fake voice, etc....I finally got a human. And found out I needed to make a request in writing for an appt. Seriously?!? Still waiting for the response....
