long wait

[jab1976 0]

i just got back to miami from the philippines a few days ago, well as soon as i got back to the

states, i called uscis at the vermont center being that my cases is almost 8 months overdue, the

first lady i spoke with on the phone refused to process my service request cause she said that

vermont was currently processing petitons filed on march 4 2008, and my petition is from march

18. so i decided to call back, and this time i spoke with a differernt person, i explained to her

that it has been a long time waiting for my papers to be approved, and i was afraid

something was wrong, the lady finally decided to process my service request,she told me

that uscis has 45 days to search my case and they will notify me by mail with a status

of my case.i also spoke with my attorney, he has already written a letter to the vermont

service center to find out what is happening with my petition. i also went ahead and

contacted my congressman here in miami, his staff asked me for a copy of the noa 1

and receipt number of my case, they told me that they will call uscis and should have an

answer by the end of the week, i hope all this work will generate some type of changes on my petition, as of now i will just wait to see what happens,

Does anyone else has any suggestion that might help me, i am desparate and i dont know what else to do.

YOu should be able to get some answers now after 8 months of waiting. Vermont currently processes within a 6 month timeframe (or at least should) so that if you are over that you can start complaining.

I think you pretty much did what you can to find out about what happened. I guess you now have to wait for the reply to your senator's inquiry. I hope it's gonna be good.

Have you called your Senator from YOUR state and explain to them what is going on. If you are passed the processing time they can help you hun!

Best of luck and wishing you a faster journey

Sounds like you may have a problem.

I would be burning up the phone finding answers.

I am glad you called back because this lady does not seem to realize that according to USCIS's website, they are currently processing petitions within a six month timeframe (May 14, 2008 onward) and it says specifically on the site to call if one's petition was filed before then and still have not received any notice. I've heard that some phone operators will ask that one waits an additional 30 days beyond the out of timeframe date, but you waited plenty long.

All the best to you and yours,
