6+ months waiting Club

[laura819 0]

i've been waiting a measly 2 weeks, so i probably have no business in here at all. I feel for all of you sooo much, but to put it in perspective, one of my friends has been waiting for some sort of AOS ((not from K-1)) for over three years. so i guess our wait for this, for 6 months or a year, isnt so bad compared to what some other people go through although it sucks, definitely. i've read a lot of the posts in here, and i feel so bad for you guys, especially sara. i hope i never formally come into this thread, but if i do, please welcome me, haha.

The funny thing is - when I call they say they are working on cases from April 3rd. So do they just pick a date a few weeks before yours and tell you that you are getting "SO CLOSE" just to get you off the phone?

Thats my idea.

thats exactly what i was thinking. they just wanna get rid of you. thats why i hate doing things over the phone. i'm going to patiently wait a bit longer, then get congressman and senator involved. i mean a lot of ppl here have and still see no results...its just a long waiting game.

a previous thread just cracked me up...someone called them and the lady at uscis said, well sometimes these things take up to 20 yrs. that is insane, its just too much that that was the lady's excuse!

I wish i could...i'm Dani and i'm in Bulgaria my fiancee is in USA but he's in IL too far from California, sometimes he wish he was living there to go and see what they will tell him...and what about senators and congressman didnt they do something about it? ...i cant imagine waiting for so long myself, its painful...stay strong

I finally got a hold of someone uscis and he told me they were currently working on cases from july 15 so we're "getting pretty close". I know I'm not the first person to hear that but at least its something.

That's so weird. When I called, I just said, "I believe I'm outside processing dates." The lady I talked to seemed a bit confused because she had two conflicting processing dates, so she transferred me. I even called after it had been six months from the "Received Date" and not the "Notice Date" according to my NOA1. I don't understand how they can say they're working on cases from July 15 when the website says "6 months." It doesn't say, "6 months and a couple weeks." Maybe try calling with your "Received Date" from your NOA1 if that was before July 15.

I know, i wanted to say, 'but people in october and november are getting approved". the guy was not the brightest bulb on the tree and didnt know what he was talking about. he was reading what my status says online in a robotic voice:

"Current Status: Case received and pending.

On July 23, 2008, we received this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E), and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case."

I said, yes thats correct. thats what the website says. Can you tell me anything else, am i in security checks? Then he said, 'well pending means we havent made a decision on your case yet, so its pending." (haha, really! no kidding!) 'I said 'yes its pending, and the website says to contact you after 6 months'.

He was clueless and said, well we are working on July 15 cases at VSC. I said, "i'm at CSC". He said irritably, "yes, thats what i said, CSC."

haha. so idk.

Who were you able to talk to at USCIS? Just one of the frontline guys from the 800 number?

Hi PB&Jam, just wondering, what part of England?

I'm in US. My fiance is in West Drayton....a few minutes from Heathrow. How about you or your SO? Are you in CA?

My fiance is in CA, Manhattan Beach in LA. I'm not too far from Heathrow myself, about 40mins north of London. Come on NOA2s!!!!!!!!!

Well I'm super excited because I just booked my flight for England for 2 weeks in March. Nothing else matters if we are together! I won't even stress too much over the approval cause i know its coming. I'm just so excited to be with my baby again soon!

awe man im jealous of all u guys

aww i'm sorry.

I got another touch today. Well, que sera, sera!

Sara, you are right. Why are we getting more people, instead of being less ?

Have a perfect day/night! (depending when you read this)

Just wondering if they always alert you when they do background checks? Our case still says 'case recieved and pending' does this mean that they haven't decided yet or could it mean they are doing background checks? Our NOA1 was August 1st 2008.

The online status doesn't change when you are in security checks.

Hi Caroline_L! We asked our congressman to do an inquiry and that´s how we found out about the security checks. When we look up our receipt number it still says "received and pending". So I don´t know if it would ever tell you on the webpage. We got our NOA 1 August 22nd. Maybe you are also in those security checks. Maybe not!

Hi everyone else! I´m not in the club yet but maybe soon. It is a shame that it exists at all. I´ve been following the thread since a couple weeks now. Good luck to everyone:star:!

Thanks, I'm sure we're in security checks, I wonder how long they take on average. It's so infuriating that they don't tell us anything! I'm eating so much chocolate!!!
