Congressman Update

[CJ Vasani 0]

well, I saw the congressman's immigration director today and he found that my applications are still being looked at. Basically, what I already knew as of November 6. This was the first time I met him, so I guess it helped a bit. He said there is nothing they can do once the applications are in the adjudication phase. The USCIS has up to 80 business days to adjudicate the applications. If they go beyond that, the congressman can get involved again.

He did ask me follow up again on Monday. The agony continues...

I believe it would be a fair estimate.

I am now hoping for Christmas instead of Thanksgiving.

By the way--my Congressman said he will be looking into the case next week as his office received my consent letter today.

Brother I'm with ya. I got nothing. Congressman's office contacted VSC on Monday, and the liaison at VSC has not responded to the aide's inquiry on my behalf. On top of that, I called USCIS today, and asked them if there was anything showing in the system regarding my status inquiry they took on 10/27, and the rep (who was actually a pretty nice one and seemed to take reasonable effort to check up on things), told me that my inquiry is not showing in the system - she said that VSC, at their discretion, can choose to "not respond" to a status request if the processing times move backward during during the 45 day period that are required to respond to the request.

Ain't that convenient.

Huh!

Are they really working to get approvals done or holding work back for job security? They must be fearing who's going to bailout the government!

it sucks...I say f them. It comes when it comes...we can't change ourselves cuz of these f'ing bastards who can't figure out where they should be putting US Citizen's family as a priority. I am going to ask Anu to start working again, so she can stop driving herself nuts and become stronger so that she can face the questions from 'society' doubting our marriage, doubting my 'legal' status in US, etc. I need to concentrate on buying a house and I'll do just that...enough of this anxiety.

Yes, not many Feb filers left and we are already seeing March filers getting consistently approved, so 'theoretically' we are due any day...unless of course, VSC decides to be 'dead' all over again. let's see if they can wake up from the Thanksgiving hangover.

CJ,

I understand your frustration. This a$$ hole @ VSC they dont know what hack they are doing. I am in same situation as you are, I told my wife just be patience our time will come untill then keep your self busy and stay stronger. This basterds @ VSC cant control our lifes.

Wish you best of everything bro,

Stay positive!

hang in there CJ! when i started this process, i had a clear vision that this process is going to take anywhere from 10-13 months from start to finish. i am sure you are holding a similar expectation. so if you have filed in march, you will eventually fall in the 10-13 months estimate. i mean look at it this way, you have already killed 7-8 months. dude, just hang in there, good times are just around the corner!!

desiman, i see your approval coming before the end of the month. lets see if my prophesy works! maybe the adjudicator who had your file a few days ago went on a vacation to bahamas with his wife who had also gotten a K3 a few years ago and maybe one night while they were making love she made him promise that he would go back to work and approve as many K3 and CR-1/IR-1 visas as he can and he came back in the happiest mood ever....i mean who knows...stay positive dude...you are just around the corner with cjvasani and a few others...good luck!

Hey CJ Vasani, I just wanted to let you know that when my wife and had been waiting for her I130/129F to go through, we reached 6 months when I finally wrote a letter to my Senator. Her office was VERY helpful, and called down to California for us. It took another month after my initial contact with the Senator's office for the petitions to go through, so in total that was about 8 months since I initially submitted the I130. Judging by your timeline I'd say you're almost there- so just hang in there ok. I wish you the very best of luck with your case. Once your "touches" start appearing about every week or so you're damn close.
