April/May? Seriously, what the hell do you know? You sound like a complete a@@hole for posting here. With all due respect, I'm tired of people who got their NOA2 in 86 days but did not file until 2

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.

Hello to all from SC. I am new to this forum. I too am waiting on my I-130 approval. This morning I called USCIS and spoke to this very kind and helful female. I gave her my receipt # and looked at my case, she said it was outside the estimated period (5 months). She submitted a service request referral for someone to look at my case. She asked me for my name, dob, mailing address, e-mail address, receipt #, phone #, date I submitted I-130 and what was the last thing I heard from USCIS. She gave me a referral number and that someone will contact me w/in the next 30 days and if no one calls me to please call back. I hope this really helps. I hope other people waiting call.

Welcome to this forum. As you can tell it's been pretty crazy here lately. This CSC to TSC thing has been a hugh fiasco. Glad you found us. Everyone here is helpful and supportive and shares great info to help us all.

I'm just curious. When you made your call to USC, did you file the service request with the original person that answered the phone (level 1) or were you put on hold and transfered to a "higher level" (level 2) person?
