Hi everyone,

I applied for my husband back in February, and we still have not received his approval. Could you reply to this if you filed in February and you are still waiting. May be we can share our pain.

HI I think you need to call USCIS now because it's already more than 6mos. You can found the phone number in the NOA that you got. Goodluck and hope you'll get your approval soon.

Your best bet is to call them to find out! but let me remind you that if you check the processing times still showing that they are working February. Call them and let us know what they tell you!! I still have a long way to go but I'm hanging there and sooner or later out time will come.

Best whiches!!! 1-800-375-5283 USCIS number

We filed our I-130 in November 07 and nothing yet...1-129 in February 08 and also nothing...have tried calling multiple times and have filed service request on both, but nothing. Our congressman called...still nothing. So frustrating! I am sorry you all are still waiting too and it is nice to know we are not the only ones in this boat! Good luck to all!

Filed in Feb 08 as well. No approval yet. Transferred to CSC from VSC on Aug 26th. About a month ago from senators office we were told that case is going though background checks. Were told not to inquire for another 90 days.

Calling USCIS is also useless. Last time they told us same thing, that case is with FBI going through background checks, and they dont know when it will be done.

Have no choice, but waitng.

Hi Peter,

That is exactly what I wrote to my senator. That applications are not treated equally. Why some people get done in a few months, and the rest of us have to wait for ever. Please write to as many senators and congressmen as you can. It is rediculous that we have to wait so long to be with our spouses. They can do better if they want to!

Sunshine

Tired of waiting
