Hi everyone . I recieved the noa1 for my fiance's visa on 5-12-08 and have been waiting and waiting and seeing everyone else geting approved , most people approved who filed after me . I have not goten an RFE which is great , but i just dont understand why everyone else is getting approved before me . My case is at Cali.Svc. center , i hired an attorney to help me with submiting all the papers so i know it was done right , my case is very simple both me and my fiance have never been married . i have called the USNIS ofice twice , but still nothing. i miss my Fiance and im worried when we are finnally gonna be together again. has anyone else waited this long for a responce ? should i just keep waiting? thankyou.

You have passed your 6months that it normally takes for a visa to be approved the best bet is to start calling USCIS and looking for some answers, make sure you talk to a supervisor, someone on the ground floor is just going to tell you that "we are processing March and your well within the processing times".

Failing that you can write a letter to your congressman (sentor? I forget what they are called in the US) stating your situation and see if you can get him on side, for some it works for others it doesn't.

Other then that there isnt a whole lot you can do when USCIS slows down. They normally have a convient pile of excuses as too why they are taking so long. There are plenty of people on VJ who have waited over 6 months, and a few who have waited over a year, and some those are still waiting.

Good luck at getting an answer.

You are VERY patient! Call the service center every day, even when they tell you not to call for a few weeks. Try to get to the actual service center and not the call center which only has pre-packaged put-off answers. Also, contact your US Senator or Congresssman (hopefully incumbent) and ask for their assistance. Experienced Senators and Congressmen have departments set up just to assist in Immigration cases. Once they file a Congressioanl Inquiry USCIS will find your file wherever they have lost it and get it moving quickly.
