i don't know why i bother replying to these types of questions but i feel obligated somehow. my noa1 was sent feb. 7 so that makes 125 days. if you include the time it was received that makes 223 days of nothing. no one even looked at our case yet except to receive it.

no answers, no help....

i've kept my positive attitude this long, but it is getting difficult. my wife is so depressed, i am having a hard time keeping her head up. she almost has me feeling the same way.

i hope we all can get some answers soon.

everyone remember, however bad your case is, there is another who is waiting longer. for every case you see that applied after you approved, don't lose hope. you will probably get yours done before someone else who waited longer too.

see, there are people that waited longer..

well, I am going to call them everyday now and bother the hell out of them.. I also initiated the "writ of mandamus" and that is in progress.. the demand letter ( 30 days has passed already) was not responded to (even the lawyer said so), and they will file the complaint now and they will have 60 days to approve the case.. with a 30-day extension.. for those who haven't followed my story, I also wrote letters to congressmen, vice president, president (white house) and other people (about 100+).. and also received a local office interview and "passed" it (also brought my parents - February 2008).. they said everything looks ok and said that I would get approved, but I never received the NOA2.. they keep delaying, so I decided to hire a lawyer and do a lawsuit.. I wrote a letter to President Bush and he (or his office) forwarded to Dept of Justice (with a letter sent) and also forwarded to FBI (where the Records Name Division wrote back a letter stating there were no security checks on my case)... haha, I have been through a lot and still fighting.. now I am not even nice to them on the phone anymore..

seems there are a lot of people that are under security checks =( I just called them today, and they still don't know what is going on with my case.. I hope that I can get approved soon.. I don't know why they are doing it based on processing times.. maybe they are, they just looked at everything ONCE and that's it..
