This process is getting very horrible. How has everyone kept their spirits up? We got approval letter from USCIS on April 23 and the NVC STILL doesn't have our case. I call every day, always hear "wait a few more days." I've been waiting 2 months for something that is supposed to take 15 days. We've had NVC research look it up, and my congressman. My wife's in Ukraine and this is so stressful on both of us. So any secrets anyone has to speed this up or at least keep us filled with hope would be much appreciated.

Wow I can't believe how long it's taking for the NVC to receive everything from USCIS (it took ours like 3 weeks to make the journey about). I'm so sorry you are having to wait so long. Lucky for us I stayed in Canada with my hubby while we are going through all of this so we haven't had to be separated.

If you are not hearing back from your senator do you have another senator you can contact? I contacted both MN senators awhile back, 1 phoned me the same day I emailed them (I was surprised) and the other one took like 2 weeks to send an email off to me.

So if one is being slow to try and help you out another may be quicker ;)
