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.

I had my Congressman call last week and then again today. I don't know if they did the trick.

Thanks for all the congratulations and thanks for all your support!! :thumbs::thumbs:

congrats!

what was reply given to your congressman office?

if you gave your info (receipt #s, full name, etc) to anyone on VJ under the guise that they would "help" you through the immigration journey with his inside contacts (like his sister at USCIS) ... please contact OLUInquiries@dhs.gov, and go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact to report anything suspicious. Contact your congressman and senator's offices as well.

So the grand total is 1 approval. I can't say I'm not disappointed, but 1 approval is better than NO approvals. At least we can be certain that there's ongoing activity at the TSC.

I know it's difficult to say the least, but we still need to keep the faith- more approvals are coming- they HAVE to be! :)

It also appears that emails to dhs individuals no longer has the immediate effect it had for a few.

it never was Garza email = approval... i dont recall offhand who they were but from the beginning there have been some who rec'd the email and did not get approval so even though i got all excited and happy when we got ours i quickly came down to earth (probablly more quickly than others because of my husband's lack of reaction to it :( )

i'm sure there are many of us who are in that boat and prefer not to be reminded daily that we got the email without the approval.

if you gave your info (receipt #s, full name, etc) to anyone on VJ under the guise that they would "help" you through the immigration journey with his inside contacts (like his sister at USCIS) ... please contact OLUInquiries@dhs.gov, and go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact to report anything suspicious.

Greeting !

A fast reply

I was the first be approved from the e mailings,

I hope you all dont get to agressive to TSC now.

A suggestions, or do what you want.

Better everybdy BACK OFF let TSC get going.

Dont irritate them they know we are here and know you too

dont make it bad for yourself to keep e mailing them over and over.

Just wait for your time, pissed them off they maybe hold up your case for a longer time.

GOD blessed me and thanks to Barbara hopefully things will progress in time good for all after me.

They will approve you as they did me.

Have some patience and i would be talking nice

they are watching what you write here. Better tone

it down big time and maybe you will be blessed as I was

:innocent::innocent::innocent:

DONT BE PRESSURING THEM TO MUCH NOW !
