Generic response to congressman's application inquiry?

[000 0]

I was just wondering, our congressman checked into our case because it is past processing time frame.

The following is the response our congressman's office received from their inquiry about our I129F application... Is this just a generic answer given to all inquiries?

A review of the computer system shows that the petition is currently with an adjudicating officer for processing and the petitioner should be hearing shortly from this office. You are welcome to check status periodically.

Well, you got your NOA1 7 months ago (that's a long time). They say it's with an adjudicating officer, but do you have any touches on your petition? I'm assuming you're reviewing status on the website. If it's in the hands of an officer, you should see a touch, because they're required to scan it when they are working on it. If you don't see any activity since your NOA1, then I would suggest a different congressman, if you have one, or a senator, to see if they can find out additional information.

We did write to our congressman, but not until the NVC stage. They actually called the NVC to get status. A week later, it moved, but it could have been coincidence. After the packet went to London, they emailed London to ask them for the expected turn-around time and got back to us with the information they received.

Our congressman seemed relatively helpful.

It sounds like a very generic response ("don't bug us"). However, if it's with an adjudicator, chances are that you'll hear something fairly soon, especially because of the Congressional inquiry, si man. Only your actual Congressman (who serves your District) can help you. Consider involving one of your two Senators if things drag on for quite a while longer.

Keep the faith, si man!

Thanks guys,

I appreciate all of the input. I guess we'll give it a few more days. I thought it kind of sounded like a generic response, too.

Good luck to all!!!
