missing notice recovery · for petitions in our network

USCIS went quiet. We open the file back up.

Filing delivered. Notice never came, or came once and stopped. The case sits. The recovery work is operational — the right inquiry into the right channel at the right time — and it doesn't need to be expensive. $250, one filing, run to a result.

The four shapes of a stalled case

i
Delivered, not charged
Courier received. Fee never processed. Case may not exist yet.
ii
Charged, not receipted
Card hit. Receipt notice never showed up in the mail.
iii
Receipted, then silent
I-797C arrived. Later notice — RFE, approval, transfer — never came.
iv
PP past 15 days
Premium Processing clock expired. Nothing from USCIS.

What recovery actually means.

It means working the inquiry channels USCIS provides — Contact Center, e-Request, lockbox support, service center, Ombudsman, FOIA — in the right sequence for the case's posture. Each channel has its own format, its own response window, its own quirks. The recovery is not a single phone call. It is a sequence, run by someone who knows which call to make first and which to escalate when.

This is operational work. Not legal work. The fee opens an administrative engagement. There is no attorney-client relationship. If the recovery surfaces a merits problem — an RFE in flight, a denial requiring response — that work is referred to immigration counsel and quoted separately.

Honest answers about how this works.

Is this a law firm?
No. This is an administrative recovery service. The work is operational — phone calls, electronic inquiries, FOIA filings as a designated third-party requestor, status tracking. No attorney-client relationship is created. If the case needs legal work, it's referred out.
Why is this $250 instead of more?
Because the petitioner is already inside our network, there's no third-party engagement step and no G-28 cooperation problem. The case team can move on day one. Cases with outside petitioners need a different track, at a different price, because that work is legal — not administrative.
My petitioner is not in your network.
Then this isn't the right track. The outside-petitioner cases run through DC Federal Litigation as a limited-scope legal engagement at $500. That track handles the G-28, the petitioner outreach, and the FOIA work on a different legal basis.
What if USCIS produces nothing?
The fee is for the work, not the response. USCIS pace is not in any provider's control. The recovery team runs the available channels, builds the audit trail, and either gets the file back or identifies what comes next. The fee covers the work either way.
How fast do you respond?
Weekly, in writing. Same-day responses and phone consultations are not part of this service. The cadence is set so the case team can do the actual recovery work without interruption.

O1DMatch does not provide legal advice and is not a law firm. This page describes an administrative recovery service available to beneficiaries whose petition was filed through our service network. The service is operational; it is not legal representation. No attorney-client relationship arises from use of this page, payment of the fee, or completion of the intake.
