Why this long?

Why should processing few pages of document take months in today's world of fast computers and connection? Unless USCIS is deliberately delaying processing of applications, there is no reason that it should take more than a few weeks to make decision on these family based petitions. Background checks these days are all wired and digital, so it's just matter of days except in most extreme cases. So your files may just be sitting on some self completely ignored. And with decreasing number of applicants, USCIS should be able to provide it's decision within weeks for every applicant if it wants. Otherwise, this is smelling a lot like lack of accountability.

US citizen should write to correct authorities, their congressman and senators to demand accountability and faster processing. Only then will USCIS behavior start changing. Go to contact section of USCIS website and write to ombudsman's email address.

Take action for change. Demand accountability.

Yeah, tell them to process thousands of daily applications faster. The USA government should pay for EVERYTHING! How much do you pay?

Sigh.... Guys, unfortunately the government is not meant to be friendly or easy to deal with. If that was to be then we'd get off scotch free on a bunch of things. We also have to keep in mind that there are people who there who do bogus filings so it can and will take a while for a thorough investigation. Unfortunately some people get lucky and get fast approvals.

What can we do as filers? Not much other than contact our local congressmen or uscis itsElf if we haven't heard anything in writing in over 60 days.

I was just thinking the same thing and asked a Police Officer why it takes so long to do a background check. His answer, they're government workers. The staff will get to processing the applications in due time, no hurry, no worry. Nonetheless, I wrote to both my senators asking them to look into why it takes so long to process family based visas. I'm not holding my breath, but at least I was able to pass a few minutes of my time waiting for my NOA2.
