USCIS is a huge slow bureaucracy that should be privatized IMO with some oversight. How long does it takes to do a background check for a job and process an application - certainly not 5 months. Some

Yaaaaayyy! That's awesome :) I'm sure those who got touched actually got approved. They seem to forget to update the status a lot lately!

I got my letter from Frankfurt today! I expected to receive actual forms or more than just a one page letter telling me to go check what I need on the embassy website haha!

a lot of people just cant handle the wait of receiving NVC letter,they call constantly and get their case number before they get the hard copy.

while i envy you tina ( gotta be honest ) im genuinely happy for you.you did your time ( it sounds like a prisoner talk i know but still,you get the whole big picture :blush: ) i really hope your case goes through the embassy quicklike as well

Oh okay, I was really surprised about the letter! :)

Thank you :) it'll still take a long time for me to be with my fiance though, because now that the approval was taking so long I started college over here and I want to finish the semester. I know that I got lucky with my consulate because they seem to be moving fast but I won't be able to leave until late February anyway. I still need the Affidavit of Support and I won't have that form until I get back from my trip.

So essentially by the time I can leave you'll already be there :D I really hope you get your approval soon!

could one of the over five months people try calling CSC again?im so impatient and restless,its horrible

Just got off the phone with them yet again. This time they finally generated a service request for me, which will be sent to CSC today. He said that from that they at least need to give me an update about the case, an RFE, or an approval within 30 days. Still frustrating, but at least SOMETHING has to happen soon!

thanks for the update,could you do me a favor?the next time you call ask them how far behind they are?they dont give out information like that to people that have not passed the five months requirement.not even on the military hotline.

its ridiculous and sad really how my heart pumps out of my chest everytime i get an email cause i think it might be the notice of approval

Gap1 I hear you...

We have only had one touch since July too, it was July 21st...

I am excited with the Late june filers being approved, hopefully they will start approving early July filers soon! (fingers crossed)!

The pressure of this wait has gotten to our nerves, and lately my fiance and I are having big time issues...

I don´t know if you guys are having the same problems.... :ot:

This is just so hard!!!

I am hoping for the best always! :ot2:
