Well, my joy has been snatched from me.

I think maybe the Congressman called the London EMBASSY, who of course told them that they would need to contact the Dublin Visa Unit about our case, because the file begins with DBL. I called DOS today & they show no record of the file being sent back to the Dublin Visa Unit.

So, I guess hope is dashed. This is what I get for allowing myself to be hopeful.

It's a cruel, cruel day.

Chin up J..this is but a drop in the ocean, for what its worth I have never, in my 2 years of studying these sites seen any evidence of a successful attempt by a Congressmans Office to assist anyone so while it may have given you some hope at first, dont be too disheartened and try to continue to do these things by yourself as IMO you just drive yourself even madder dealing with these offices..nobody knows your case, and what to expect, more than you.

I second that! We didn't expect my husband's congressman to be able to do much, and he wasn't, but we're glad we contacted him nevertheless. My husband also contacted his senator a month ago and yesterday called to follow up - the office had lost the papers, so he had to fax them over again

Still - fingers, toes and everything else that I can think of are all crossed for you

I saw it & have been waiting for the Spreadsheet King of England.

Unfortunately, we were not among those completed. After our false hope this week, I'm extremely low.

[Traci - Andrew 14]

OK people... Here are the highlights, details & stats of this USCIS I-601 update for 26th May 2010

6 UK & Ireland COMPLETED CASES (5 cases from Under Review to Completed and 1 case from Pending direct to Completed) also 1 x Scandinavian case Completed,

The 6 x London cases are: (LND2009 624 005 / LND2009 549 015 / LND2009 529 043 / LND2009 605 022 / LND2009 779 011 / LND2009 633 007)

The 1 x Scandinavian case (STK2009 640 003)

1 x London case added to the "Under Review" pile (LND2008 843 014)

And 9.. yes 9 cases added to the Pending pile making it 35 UK & Ireland cases Pending and 5 Scandinavian cases Pending, which now totals a whopping 40 cases and only 2 people to deal with them all...

This was a very exciting update for the 16 people involved that were being added, moved or completed however it was a very disappointing update for most of us on the Visa Journey website as we were the non movers, in fact one of the oldest cases that had been waiting for 219 days was at last completed, this now makes our case the second oldest at 196 days with the number one spot at 220 days so far.

The details of all the changes have been recorded on the spreadsheet which you can download from here: > I-601 Status Spreadsheet 26th May 2010

Well I guess that is it for this week, I hope I am wrong and that they still try and update us one more time on Friday before the Bank Holiday.

Anyway congratulations to all those people that managed to get a completed status today and a big welcome to all the 9 new cases that were also added.

Take care

Andrew

Sorry that you guys didn't get any updates...although now that your case is close to being one of the longest, maybe it's really close that they will make a decision? Here's to good news on Friday

[treehugger 23]

I'm glad to hear that some cases were indeed completed, although I'm disappointed that it wasn't anyone on here Do you think there'll be another update on Friday in an attempt to finish the month on a high note?

Julie - don't give up Today I called the DOS and even the lady who answered said 'every day is a step closer to your case being finished' - didn't know whether to laugh or cry at that one!

Thanks.. I hope you are right.

It is hard to do this and watch our case be the longest case Pending, and now it looks like we are going for the title of longest time from start to finish and even that would not be to bad as long as we also do not end up with the longest Under Review time as well.

Anyway thanks for your thoughts and comments as usual they are always welcome.
