does calling uscis do any good?

[belarus1 0]

according to Igors list my NOA2 should have been between april 23 and may 15 and of course we are now one month past that date.

it suggests calling uscis but in actuality will that do any good?

or should i wait til the dreaded 6 month time frame is up?

submitted the i-129f on jan 12 and havent heard anything other than my NOA1 on jan 14.

my petition is at csc.

my poor fiance is about to go insane and its getting more difficult convincing her that all is ok and this is just normal.

i dont see any reason they should deny our application, i make enough $ ,have no criminal record and never been married and my fiance has no problems either.

hmmm..........

thanks for any adivce.

have you called? Igor's list is not an official list...and just like the VJ timelines it estimates a date of approval. the operative word is estimate...some petitions will get approved faster, some not so faster.

if you've met all the petition eligibilities, there should be no reason for you to think about a denial.

I think she means the other poster -- petitioned on May 22, 2009.

I don't think that calling USCIS for status updates does any good. In fact, I think it just ticks them off. Once you reach the 6 month mark (this is their stated time frame), however, I think you CAN call and do a service request. Sometimes that seems to get the ball rolling. Or at least they might tell you that it's hung up in background checks or what have you.

well, i just called and got some automated bullshit. this is the most current status of your account etc.... esentially what it says when i check it on the uscis website. i signed up for email updates 5 months ago but have never heard anything. do they even email you since they seem to never update there system anyway?

so frustrating.

yeah, i thought if i spoke to a real person it may piss them off and just for spite they'd stick the petition on the bottom of the pile again.

i just feel so damn helpless in this situation, nothing i do will make any difference.

they have our future in thier hands and probably dont even care.

I dont think that calling does any good because God knows i have done my share of calling.

Unless you're past the USCIS posted time frame (6 months), calling them will likely result in being told to call back when you're past the posted time. In other words - not much help.

CSC is notoriously slow - even though currently they may be adjudicating K1's a bit faster than VSC, I suspect they'll be back to being slower soon (current trends indicate that). The good news is you're well into the process and it shouldn't be much longer - this is the toughest portion (usually) so use the time to get prepared for the next steps and/or prepare for your new life together (the next steps happen in rapid-fire fashion so the more prepared you are, the less stressful it will be).

thanks,

ive already gotten my affidavit of support ready and am just waiting for her to recieve her package 3 before i send it to her to make sure of anything else i will need to get to her.

i sent her the info required from her in package 3 and she has already gotten it all together and is now just waiting to see what else is required.

waiting is the hardest part.

You can call. They wont stick your petition to the back or anything since the individuals you would talk to at USCIS are at a call center and have no access to your petition either physically or online.

To the guy calling every 3 weeks 1 month after sending your petition, you are REALLY wasting your time. If it makes you feel better though...

[D_n_M 0]

Stop calling them. They have no information for you. They can not even tell you what your address is. Just wait like the rest of us.
