Still 9 Monhts and waiting

[LoosingHope 0]

I just got touched today after 9 months . I had called our local congresswoman and she did an inquiry . Nothing had been touched since November 7 . I just recieved an email that a RFE went out to me in the mail. What could that be? Any at least we have some movement . with no thanks to my lawyer.

The RFE could be for something you forgot to submit, something you submitted and they lost, something you submitted that is now out of date or for a myriad of other reasons, you won't know until you get it.

Thankfully something is now happening with your case, I hope you have let your lawyer go and things move along quickly for you

Seems to me that your lawyer should have done something about the delay long ago.

Others have reported that their lawyers never informed them of RFEs that were sent to the lawyer's office. Is it possible your lawyer received the RFE long ago and never passed it on to you?

In that case wouldn't the RFE have expired? If the expiration date elapses, it's just like you've abandoned the petition. I don't think that's the case, though. Even though you're getting an RFE (and only crazy IMBRA people like them), it's good news - there's finally something happening to your case. Best of luck!

I would hasten a guess that your petition has been held up in security checks. Now that you are receiving an RFE for whatever reason...hopefully once you return what they are requesting, an approval wont be too long in coming.

Wow, I can not believe that. How could you be patient to wait so long. I hope the process is moving fast now. Much luck on your further journey.

Hopefully the RFE is a sign that your visa application is back up and moving. You have been patient for 9 month's now so keep with it. Some lawyers are pure cowboys when it comes to their job.

Keep at it and you know it will be worth it in the end.

We were stuck for more than nine months at NSC also. The reason they gave us were security checks. Our lawyer was completely unable to speed things up. All they can do is inquire and pass on information they receive from the service center.

Keep bugging them and your congressperson, have them inquire about the status whenever the 30 days waiting time are up, make sure they know you are getting impatient. That's really all you can do, we were told.

Hang in there, it can't be too much longer now!

Good luck!

I was held up 6 months at CSC due to security checks, I just kept emailing CSC letting them know I was not going to forget that my petition was not approved yet. LOL, I emailed them at least twice a month, seemed like the same officer got my email and emailed me back each and every time. The day my petition was approved I sent him a thank you email, because I know they are really doing all they can. I also contacted my Congresswoman and had her inquire as well. I think that is really all you can do, but at least that keeps them aware of your case.

Just Hang in there, if they have sent you an RFE, it can't be much longer now, I bet you will be approved as soon as you send in the information.......Good Luck to you

I got touched again today . The first RFE was request for pictures ; that we already sent 9 monhts ago. Wonder what that means . Anyway they recieved them again and said you will recieve a written answer shortly and less than the usual time processed as are case was already partially processed. Wonder what this whole thing means.

The last message you got means they have the RFE back there and they'll work on it. Good news!

At least a "security check" means someone's doing something. They "lost" my application for a good 4 months or more.

I've been sending email to CSC now and it seems a bit more informative than the customer "disservice" line.

As to lawyers, I have yet to find any with a good reputation.

Dump the loser, I mean lawyer. If you need one, find another that does not have his/her head up the #######...

You are paying this idiot for non-performance. Lawyers are a "dime-a-dozen" in this country. Find one with a functional brain!!!

The lawyer can only do as much as we can in theese situations ; as long as he is monitoring the situation contacting senators wrting letter and submitting perfect paperwork.

Anyway I got touched today ; stating that I will recieve a written decision shortly . Since thay wanted pictures last week again and now they are sending us a decision ; wonder if that's an approval. Hope so as 9 months of waiting is very stressfull to me and my fiancee . ANy comments ?
