I. Called Vermont Service Center to find out mailing address error
On May 23rd, my fiance and I called Vermont Service Ctr., USCIS at 800-375-5283 to check the status of my J-1 visa waiver case.
On our first trial, we failed to talk to immigration officer but just got opereator's answer that she can't help us as I didn't have USCIS case number (of course i don't have coz i didn't file USCIS case myself but DOS filed USCIS case for me!).
The next day we called them again and fortunately the operator passed us into immigration officer. The officer kindly answered to our questions and was patient in her attitude. She asked my name, date of birth and address as personal verification process. I told her my name, birthday and my fiance's address coz that was mailing address i used to get all the responses in my application for J1 visa waiver. But she said because the address is not correct she couldn't help us anymore to check case status.
Being puzzled i tried every possible address that i've ever used in documents (my home address, my address in US-although unlikely the one what they want- etc.), but none worked. She gave us hint that all other information (name and birthday) is correct and she said even in verifying address there's is minor differnce. What a nonsense!
As I was sure that i wrote correct address of my fiance, that couldn't be possible unless someone in the DOS or USCIS made mistake in transcripting the address during communication between the two parties.
We started to get worried really :-(
