If my sister was working at DHS, I wouldn't wait 6-months then send an email to somebody at USCIS in DC. That's just me though. I'm not buying any of this tomfoolery.

No problem what so ever! Keeping this spreadsheet up to date gives me something to do during the day as I sit here at my computer. I don't know what I'm going to do when everyone's approved though laughing.gif

Awww....yeah, same for me,,, can't access the uscis website to check my case status.

And,,, CONGRATS to all who have been approved!! That is wonderful news!

I haven't really been pushing the inquiries out there too much... just 1 call to the uscis customer service dept about a month ago, and just this past week, legal council sent a letter of inquiry on my behalf. I'm anxiously waiting to see what kind of response I get from that (assuming maybe just a standard form letter...but ya never know!!). Well... good luck to all who still await the blessed news! I'm going to go outside and shovel snow out of my driveway for a while,,, maybe when I come back in & check the website I'll be approved along with a multitude of other patient folks! :whistle:
