Just to add to my other post....this is what my Senator sent me.

I just followed up with the Vermont Center and they informed us that they do process the cases by date. I talked with the supervisor there and she said the only reason those other applicants would have received their approval notices before you is if their case had been expedited. If this is not the case and you know this for sure, she suggests you provide us with the receipt # and name of another applicant you know that received theirs before yourself but had a later received date and they will look into this. You can email me the information if you like….

I am not quite sure how to go around that BS claim that they process cases in order they receive them with the exception of the expedited ones. We all know it's a bunch of BS. There is no way bunches and bunches of people who got approved before you were all expedited. Additionally, we all know that expedited cases usually take 1-2 months to process vs. 4+ months for regular cases, so it's really easy to tell the difference. I don't know if people would be willing to share their receipt numbers since it's a sensitive information, but maybe tell your senator to take a look at Igor's list and when they see last 20 filers who were approved were all July/August filers, common sense will take over. Hope this helps at least a little bit.

Thank you so much for your response. I included the latest of Igor's list with my letter. But without receipt numbers that the supervisor at Vermont can look up its just "hear say."

Well, I think they are just trying to not-so-politely shut you up. Don't get off their backs until you get a clear answer! Igor's list is a hearsay? Sure, you must have made it up yourself to make them look bad. And I'm pretty sure the supervisor in Vermont has the ability to look up last 20, 50 or 100 approved cases and see the filing dates for those. Ask your contact person at the Senator's office to point it out to that wonderful supervisor.

Good luck!

My fiance and i are really getting tired of waiting. I see others around me with same filing date give or take a few days getting approved. I really hope something happens soon because i am really getting restless here

Well, ask the bunch of April/May/June filers still waiting how they feel. Not restless, but rather very worried!!!

We cry ourselves to sleep most nights and the rest we just spend worrying. So much for that.

Sorry for venting. USCIS system just sucks.
