I contacted my congressman a week ago and haven't heard anything back. Yes, I was calling the

USCIS information line. Who else can I call? Someone help me. I am going crazy

I am now 235 days into my I130 and when I called yesterday I was told it could be another 2 to 3

months. What a bunch of #######.

Why are you calling the service centre ?

why don't you get your congressman to ask on your behalf ?? or better still, get them to put the pressure on for an approval .... at 235 days, I wouldn't mess around with calling the misinformation line anymore.

They have to reply within 48 hours to your congressperson ..... some are not helpful, and some are, it just depends on who you get.

certainly worth a try

comardada,

Did you contact Kay Baily Hutchinson or John Cornyn??? John Cornyn is a gret guy, try him. He has a webs site , everything you need there to contact him. Good luck.

Don't bother with Kay Baily Hutchinson. I sent a note in January and got a canned respond that they will contact me back. Never heard from anyone in her organization. She's a two-face politician (like most). She's too busy to be bothered with. In fact, I haven't had any luck with either senators nor congressman.

Chet, according to other Vj postings, those who ask for their congressperson or senator's help and are not out of their timeline, will usually not get the help. Some are told this and to contact them when they are out of the timeline.

Now what others have gotten help thru some of their constituents after the 6 months have passed. So, which is it? Don't know.. but according to your timeline and depending on when u asked for their help.. this might be why you did not get them to step in yet. VSC is not really approving lots of K-3's the trend is to adjudicate the I-130. let's hope you won't need their help and u get approved soon.

They said, well the web site says.....

completely no information at all.

It's a complete closed, unaccountable, piece of ####### organization.

And rude.

At least the rep DID back up my feeling that the dope on the phone from USCIS who recommended I file for K3 was WRONG. She said she wouldn't recommend doing that at all at this point.

I tried to get her to give me some kind of timeline... 5 years? 10 years? never? she wouldn't budge... no idea she said.

Its a conspiracy. They are all hiding some big secret. A royal screw up. Although i do feel better that a sept. filer was FINALLY approved... it seems like maybe they might be starting to backtrack and hit all of us that they missed.

That Sept. Filer was a K1 I thought? I havent seen any CR/IR1 I 130s approved since Amaster. If they keep their filing dates at July 30th when they update the processing times im going to scream. I need to just relax and focus on my upcoming trip to Brazil but I just cant. I have been getting back in to working out though, trying to atleast get back to 140 pounds. I lost 30 pounds from stressing over this and it does not look good, I still have to force myself to eat though. I just dont get hungry. I really would like it if that the people at USCIS could see and understand the stress that they create on the people that are waiting. It would be nice if they would have a heart and understand that the frustrations that some people might have because they didnt get their citizenship in time to vote or the companies have to wait a few more months to bring over that new employee are nothing compared to the heartache we all have to live with day by day for an unknown amount of time.

If you read the ombudsman's report you'll see that USCIS responds in a way that is deliberately evasive. There's something very rotten in that organization. They behave like guilty parties, obfuscating truth. Double-talk, lies, nonsense.

I am just not understanding all the ####### they are putting us through. I am one of those poeple who contacted my congressman and Senator but that is becuase I am 239 days into this and know nothing.

I am trying to be positive and hold on to hope but this is crazy. I called immigration AGAIN yesterday and they told me that by Monday the website will be updated with new processing dates and the dates should change dramatically. We will see. It seems like they are refusing to approve anymore cases. Good luck everyone.

Nice use of the word obfuscating, I mean come on, be honest, how many times do you get to use that word ;) and it fits so well for them.
