Hi all!

I sent an email to my Senator 3 days ago and received a response yesterday. The congressman's assistant was VERY helpful and ensured me she would get to the bottom of my USCIS issue. I emailed my congressman 3 days before my 5 month mark too, which is today. She asked for all of our info and is going to start by getting a case status update, then she said she could dive deeper and they have several different options.

It's looking pretty positive so far. I also told her how al us TSC July filers were stuck yet August/Sept/October filers that stayed at CSC were getting approvals. :unsure:

well, it depends how you look at it: for me every day that passes makes me one step closer to the finale, that's why I am positive and cheerful. And when it turns 4 months, it will be even better, it

Have you reached the end of your 5 months?

- if not and you have 60 to 90 days to go that would explain the wait youre being quoted, you have to have let 5 months go by first before you can let them know they have failed.

Did they explain why you have to wait an additional 60 to 90 days?

- If you have reached the end of your 5 month wait contact then again and explain that you have already waited till the end of the 5 month period USCIS says they will complete with your case in.

If your state has two senators, contact the other one, maybe they have a better handle on what the process is and you will receive satisfaction there.

Call USCIS and have them raise a concern on your behalf with the service center that the case is now over 5 months and 16 days old, I was told that I had to wait an additional 16 days past my 5 months before they could inform the service center that my case was over its 5 month period.

They have by law 180 days to process your case,

Since they are behind it looks as they wont be

done at 5 months. So they have 180 days total

than you can file and inquiry to why your case

isnt approved by than.

Good Luck but it looks like were all in the same

situation, and just have to have more PATIENTS

and wait until January 2011 and than the approvals

will begin again.

Happy Holidays
