I sent the paperwork in for my husband March 8, 2013. We got our NAO1 March 14, 2013. Since then, I haven't heard a word. I have tried to use our code to look up our case online, but it says that the case can't be found, and it has been like that since March. I have called numerous times to the 1-800 number and have been told repeatedly by tier II officers that we need to be patient and that our case is in their system and that we can't view our case online because of a computer issue that they are working on. Does ANYONE know what our next step should be to find out what's going on with our case? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.helpsmilie.gif

I applied for my wife in march as well. Although i totally put applying for her behind me i just never checked and beginning of this month NOA2 came and case for forwarded to NVC. Sometimes it is too stressful if you keep looking and logging in. They never give a time frame so i don't know what would you expect with logging in. If you have doubts about your petition then there is a concern but otherwise i say don't stress about it it will eventually come. I didn't even signup for uscis website. Immigration matters are always random. A person can be done in 10 days another in 100 days.

As Boggy1974 said you can ask your Congressperson or Senator to query about the status.

Though our case went from A1 to N0A2 in a good amount of time it seemed to have gotten stuck at the NVC and that was frustrating. Eventually I asked my Congresswoman to simply make a query about the status and voila! It showed up in the system within 24 hours at NVC and was off to Manila in a few days.

You have good reason to be frustrated you're pushing 8 months--that's a long time. Check in your country forum to see what others have experienced and if it still seems oddly long try your Congressman first.

Snags can occur anyplace along the line, we submitted the wrong proof of divorce and got a 221g. It's now pushing a month since they received the proper documents. We know of two couples here who had been delayed for the same reason and both are in America now while ours sits who knows where. Once it hits a month I'll ask my Congresswoman to intercede, if that doesn't help I'll ask my Senator to intercede. Beyond that all that's left is to as God to intercede..

Good luck.

There's no country preference in course of USCIS processing. It can be harder in some countries with AP and stuff but way down the road.

I'm the beneficiary.

Don't have a timeline? Don't know how to get started with it? Do it for the statistics sake: VJ video guide

Filing for a USC spouse visa (IR-1/CR-1) and not sure what comes next? Check out the VJ IR-1/CR-1 guide

Want to know what's happening with your case? Here's the USCIS tracking page (get an account and see if the case's been 'touched'!). Don't get your hopes up though, some cases never even appear there despite being successfully processed.

I do remember the servers went down for maintenance over the weekend. Maybe they are trying to fix something. Our case was suspended because the check bounced, and though we have paid it off now, it's still showing the same message. We haven't had any mail advising us of a new priority date, but on the other hand, we haven't received notice of rejection either. All we can do is wait. They're in control.

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

You live in Dayton, OH? Contact congressman Turner. Read what he says on USCIS and fill out the authorization form. Here is the link:

You've been waiting far too long! Contact him via this form ASAP!

No, I honestly feel there is no light at the end of the tunnel anymore and that this process will take an ungodly long amount of time, like 2-3 years. I'm a total pessimist when it comes to USCIS.
