: (((((((( Dec 18th filer .

[LovenHope23 6]

Im sure there are people in this forum that are going through struggles with their Fiance. You know, they won't ever understand how it feels to be away from your loved one. I feel so bad for the little beautiful girl that is away from her father.. and keeps in touch through "SKYPE".. That is true.. SKYPE is not the way we should see each other.. why dont we just get our approvals... LORD... IM GOING TO PRAY FOR ALL OF YOU.... I couldn't sleep lats night...Pray for me... Please : (( everyday it gets worse.... i lose more hope every single day.... I keep getting scared that it might take 9 months, but my Senator said that texas told them i should hear something from 7-14 days. Yesterday was day 14, any inputs? Suggestions? Opinions? Please help..... I need someone to make me feel better.

Thanks guys.

LovenHope, if your senator told you 14 days, and that time has passed, I'd call them again. Maybe you can ask what the basis for that timeline was, and see if they can make some more inquiries. Also, I think Angelina suggested infopass up there somewhere... You guys are all in my thoughts and I continue to hope every night that we see your approvals!

[LovenHope23 6]

I don't know what to do anymore. Just contacted my Senator. Apparently they have been in Training in texas for two days... AGAIN! They are going to have to call them tomorrow to see the status of my case. Ok this is the letter from Texas: "Your Constituent shall hear a response within 7-14 days, please contact us if you have further questions..."

Day 14 was yesterday? And......... they are in TRAINING??? ARE YOU KIDDDDING ME??? THANKS A LOT VERMONT,, THANK YOU.. THANKS FOR KEEPING US WAITING!

tHIS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND... WHO SHALL I GO TO... THERE IS NOTHING TO DO BUT WAIT.. IM TIRED OF WAITING THOUGH.. I WANT TO HUG MY FIANCE (

Sek298: Thank you. You have been very helpful. God bless...! Do you think that the infopass appt will give me a lot of information? My local office is the headquarters in D.C.! How do i set up an appt? On the uscis site?

Another day passed with no approval!

Checked numbers around me and 2 petitions that used to say no info available got an RFE yesterday. More than half of the about 20 or so petitions around mine either got approved or RFE (with 1 denied), and I'm still waiting. Sigh.

[LovenHope23 6]

How do you know that? Is it randomized numbers? How can I tell if they are near my case?

[Eric-Wulan 5]

OMG I thought that it would be giving my hopes up to think that we would get approved tonight since we got the response to our service request today BUT IT HAPPENED! I wish it wasn't 3 in the morning in Scotland so I could call my fiancé.

Your Case Status: Post Decision Activity

On June 26, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

Best of luck to the rest of the transfers! I am so grateful for everyone who posted information and words of encouragement. <3

Congrats!!!

They're not randomized. They're in order. All petitions of the same type received on the same day get numbers right after each other.

Keep the fight alive everyone and remember why we all started this process. We knew that the trenches here would be deep, but we would push through them. Keep pushing and remain positive and tell yourself that toxic thoughts have no place in your relationships. If you are over 5 1/2 to 6 months processing time start contacting (call, it's quicker) your Senator's or Congressmen's office, pick one or both. I went with Senator Toomey here in PA. Being over the processing time gives you a right to inquiry about your petition and to have a government official become involved. So get them involved, and tell them about how your petition is past the processing time of the original Vermont center. Tell them how you were transfered around, communication muddled, and how you want to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Talk with them about your case and how you feel, they are here to help you. After all you may/may not have voted them into office and so it is your right; you could about face at the next election and either decide to vote for them this time or against them. Do the infopass if you are within driving distance of a center and talk to them (USCIS) face to face, as calling them on the phone is too easy for them to be abrupt and vague.

My heart does go out to those who are still waiting, and ones who are waiting even longer than we did. I want to be excited and happy, and start planning for the next step, but I find it more difficult knowing that many of you are still waiting. So get proactive, and get the information you seek. Start knocking on the doors of the USCIS and your Senator's office. Emotions may be running high right now, but remember kindess goes a long way to getting what you want. If you have already been knocking, keep knocking to the point where they will do what they can to get you to stop.

This may be easy for me to say in retrospect but it's something I was thinking while waiting for my NoA2, with each approval I saw everyday I knew that was one less petition in my way for our approval. So keep the fight alive folks, and you will get there too.

Guys i am in tears..... Sorry for posting depressing things.. but I dont know what to do... I feel so bad for myself .. and everyone waiting.. its getting so hard on me.. its almost 7 months..

[St&Sv 33]

Sek298: Thank you. You have been very helpful. God bless...! Do you think that the infopass appt will give me a lot of information? My local office is the headquarters in D.C.! How do i set up an appt? On the uscis site?

You can set up an appointment here: http://infopass.uscis.gov/

Though I would contact your Senator's office again. If they were told 7 to 14 days and you are outside that window, then that gives them reason to inquiry even more on your petition.

[LovenHope23 6]

I just called them. I wrote what happened. I just checked the Infopass.. and the next available appt for the Washington Field Office is july 10th!!! I wont be here.. Im going out of the country.. IDKKKK...... Apparently Texas is in TRAINING.. AGAIN.... : (

If they said i should hear something in 7-14 days.. does that mean my case was finalizing? .. hm....

Did you call the Senator's office or the USCIS? The USCIS customer operator will probably just give you a generic answer they've been told to say. You already know that petitions are being approved, so they are working on them and have been trained. If they are doing additional training then that is a sign they are putting even more on the cases, which long-term will be a good thing. Also you would want to talk to someone on tier 2 or higher at the USCIS. I recommend you contact you Senator's office, and if they are the ones you contact, I would call them back. Tell them you are well past all processing times (Vermont, California and the National Goal) and you want answers as to why this is. If your emotions are high right now, go off and do something to center yourself before calling. These things go better with a cool head. I hope for the best for you.

EDIT:

As for the "hear something" it sounds vague to me, and I would ask for something more concrete. Also have you heard anything from them? If not, you should be contacting the Senator's office again (if that is who told you this). Let them know you hadn't heard anything like they were told you would.
