July 2010 CR-1 filers

[LotofPatience 65]

Update from my side:

1) Called USCIS 3 weeks back to expedite our case (I knew they won't, because there is NO expedite criteria. It was just a try!) - Expedite denied.

2) Sent an email last week to my Senator just to enquire the status and any possibility to speed up - This Senator does not handle immigration matter and advised me to talk to Congresswoman.

3) Sent a fax to my Congresswoman last week and they contacted USCIS - USCIS told they don't see any expedite criteria. It will be normal processing of 5 months. Since I have completed only 1 month, I need to wait another 4 more months for approval.

So, I tried all available options knowing that it may not be useful Next option is to wait another 4 months

Next thing is just call USCIS every month (30 days is their time period of each call) for the next 4 months or until approval, whichever is earlier

Have a little faith . I just looked on May an June CR1 fillers and I think that are not so many as they have been in March and April. This may be a chance to have a fast process at USCIS ? :)Hope so.

Hi Skynaut,

I check almost 2 times/day but lately when I heard that is not 100% updated the website, I stopped doing that. I will ask my wife to call them again after 2 weeks because 2 weeks back she have called them already.

what does she ask when she calls there?

She intends to come in Romania for the New Year and she is trying to find out if will be possible to have the case approved until that time. The answer from them was that the limit is 5 months but for shore can be finished earlier the case in general.

Why? She cannot come to Romania if that is not approved?

wow wait, i think i don't understand something! Where is your wife now? In the USA? And she is a citizen? So why can't she just travel to Romania whenever she wants??? I would assume that a Romanian citizen is advised not to go to the USA while it is in the process, but why a USC cannot travel? Hummm...

. She is citizen and I am in Romania. The people from USCIS told her to wait untill the process is finished in US and after to visit me. . As for me I do not have a tourist visa to go there and I will not ask one because when I will go there with my wife when all the process will finish.
