Well another go around with the senator's assistant and I contacted my congressman(no answer yet) the senators assistant insisted we were in extended background and could take months to years..i was so upset..I called USCIS and said listen I need to know something and the lady was really nice and gave me to a tier 2 who was also really nice..the tier 2 said the senators assistant didnt know what she was talking about..we were not in any unusual background check and they don't even use the word extended for them..she said she thinks the senators assistant gave me that answer to blow me off..which was the only thing to make me laugh since thats what we say about them..she said to give them to the end of this month and then call for another service request..all i know is I have done everything possible at this point..sorry post so long and thanks for all of you guys and your support ..you are all awesome... :thumbs:

That's how it was with my congressman. I sent so many letters for a whole month and didn't hear a word from him until a week after my petition was approved. They called to inform me that they called on my behalf and were told my petition was approved. I'm grateful that they helped but I wish they would have done so when I asked, after having waited for 5 months.

If the tier 2 person says everything is fine with your petition then I would probably take their word for it. Hopefully you will get an approval soon!

You know you should watch out your tone, i am not mean but you sound extremely rude. We all are well aware that it take approx 5 months and maybe more than that but we all are here to support each oth

There seem to be a lot of people here who see the view the more recent filers who have gotten approved before the 5 month timeframe as the "enemy". I'm sure there isn't a single Sept/Oct filer that is

I'm not sure if this may help you feel any better, but we filed about two weeks before you did and received our NOA2 about two weeks ago...I think your NOA2 is on its way :)

Vermont just likes to sit around and twiddle their thumbs a bit before they shuffle some papers around.

Good luck and keep us posted! :)

You might think it' easier to say so when one has been approved, but trust me, USCIS has made made me wait several time for a long time. If you have done everything right, everything will be fine. Things happen for a reason, even though sometimes makes no sense to us...so hang in there!!! :thumbs:
