Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Hello everyone,seems we are all in same boat. I am looking in these forums since a while, ever since the 6 months VSC promised are over and nothing happened with our case. I started to be nervous about and started to google timelines, personal experiences and such. maybe is selfish to say so, but not being alone in this situation helps. if others can be patient, so can I, I guess. so what I really think is that they r giving some rough timelines on that messed up USCIS site, and if u call them , is the same. after many atempts, my husband got someone to talk to there. and woman said they were working on the files from 4th march. this was like a week ago. honestly I think she didnt even check. I think they tell u a date that isnt too far from yrs so u dont lose hope and think yr case will get in their lazy hands soon, and also not too close to yrs so u dont call them everyday when u realize nothing moves. I bet if we call again, someone will say they r at 5th or 3rd of march. just some dust in eyes, to pretend they do their best. it cant be that an officer there knows instant what files they r processing, but their site never updates with real data. what I think is everything depends on the officer u get assigned to, of how they wake up in the morning, of their headaches or distractions and so on. but hang on in there, everything comes to an end. this long wait will too. yes, well all be older and on valium, but we'll make it.

Lisa, have you ever contacted McConnell? I know I really do not favour him but I wonder if later down the road he may help me? Just in case I end up waiting for a year like some. I can't use Yarmuth as I am not in District 3 and the District 2 was Lewis and he stepped down and Guthrie is Anti-Muslim. So, what to do? I now McConnell is married to an Asian lady now. Do you think he may be Anti-Muslim too? I do not know much about him other than most Dems do not care for him.

I did email him when I sent the letters to the oversight commitee. I havent heard back from any of them.

I dont know about Guthrie, but I'd write to him anyway. Even if he is what you say.. they dont look at the ben. country..they just contact USCIS and say... "whats up with case #______?" lol

Honestly, I dont care about their political background... its their job to assist their constituents. :D And Im not tooproud to ask anyone for help if I think it will get the hubster here faster :)

I liked Yarmuth because his constiuent people were so fast and helpful. and it doesnt hurt that his brother owns the company i work for ;) I made sure and used a work fax cover sheet LOL

Lisa

I got a letter back from mcconnell today... asking for a letter explaining the problem i am having with USCIS... :blink:

Isnt that what the lengthy letter i sent explained??!?!? I was so annoyed. It was a generic response, clearly they didnt even READ the letter I sent.

whatever, we are in the stupid que and inshallah,god willing,please god help us... we will hear something soon. :)

Lisa what's new? You alright? I hope so. *Hugs* I hope everyone is in good spirits. I did ok today just had to realize I am not in control over my own "visa destiny" and bite my tongue. Just looking forward to my trip now. I know when I get back I got some more time on my hands. I just want him here by Ramadan 2009. We already spent two alone and I want to spend 2009 together. So, I pray to Allah that a miracle will occur which we all so desperately need here in Dustland.

Appreciate you sharing your story. Umm...are you already on the valium or you think we will all need it come next year when we are still waiting on VSC workers to stop eating bologna sandwiches and potato chips all day instead of workng on our files? :blush:

Haha. not on valium, just increased smoking for now. I get on laptop and search and look into other's experiences, and see oh, more waiting, and winter holidays r coming (with last visits of my husband I sent a lot of my winter wardrobe with him, because I was sure wont be here this winter, and seems now he has to bring some of it back...hilarious, no?).and what can I say?is not fun. is not fun because my life is in stand by. Is a weird feeling. makes no sense to move here, to evolve at my job, to buy anything I like for now because would just add to the bags when I am going, and so on. I cant start anything here because I have no idea for how long Ill be here, and also we cant make any plans for there, because again, who knows when Ill get there...and we are both tired of computers, and skype, and trips, and airports and good-byes and such. but I bet all of u already know this. as for now, I think I can already make Christmas and new Years plans for here (again). next hope is to be together for our wedding aniversary there. but again, who knows?

I think I'll write a letter to Santa asking for a visa this year. and for those who dont believe in that, I'd just say is probably not less delusional than trying to contact USCIS.

good luck to everyone.

Well we all have to believe in something. So are you the one in Romania or him? I tell you I never anticipated to spend what feels like an eternity away from my dh. This is pure torture. I want to start our life, yet it is placed on hold. I think these people are seriously not doing their jobs. Wonder how they would feel if he shoe was on the other foot. It burns me up. But, oh well I am not going to get depressed this week! :blush: I realize I am not the only one in this position now!

good luck to everyone.
