If things have gone outside of the normal processing time, you can also get in contact with your Congressman/woman who will do some inquiring on your behalf. Mine even has a page and form on her website specifically for requests to deal with immigration issues.

I called congressman office the same day I called the service center and they said they will call and let me know by tomorrow...fingers crossed.

'

I'll bet money that they also will be told the same, we'll let you know in 60 days.

You guys are just sweating out the details for nothing. They WILL get to your case when they get to it. Relax

Tomorrow will make my petition officially past the 5 month processing time. I'm prepared to call the Vermont center tomorrow, but will they tell me anything? Is it worth it? My lawyer is saying they will wait a 30 days after the 5 mth processing time before calling, which I don't agree with. Who wants to wait another month??

We've been waiting 6 months and 1 week now. We filed in April, with an NOA1 date of April 14. We got an RFE towards the end of July. After we sent our reply to the RFE, my fiancé got an email saying that USCIS received it, and we should give them 60 days to make a decision. It's going to be 60 days on Wednesday, October 27, and if we don't hear anything from them by then, we're going to call them. Since almost all VJ members say calling them will result in nothing, we're expecting that our call to them will be futile, too. Then, my fiancé will call his congressman. Hopefully, that will produce FAST results.

OMG, I guess my fiancé and I never expected this to be this hard, and the wait to be this long! Good luck to all of us who have been waiting a LOOOOONG time! :(
