Look what I just found on another Forum:

"Hi Just got an E mail from USCIS, DAD's I 130 got approved. It took little less than 3 mts . Sent on NOV 8, got approved on FEB 2. I am happy.

I applied for CP in Chennai, India.

What will be the next step? Can any one please help."

On the phone with USCIS. Re-requesting the approved expedite from December because there was no action on this case. Dont know if it will make a difference, but at this point, I am willing to try anything. Tier 2 music didnt exist, got through immediately. Lets hope this will make a difference.

Last I called they put a request and the response I got in mail was we need more time to investigate your case and is taking more time. Check back in 60 days. NOW stop bothering us. (okay not the last sentence)

Hmm... I was just taking a bit of time, and reading United States Code: Title 8, which is the laws pertaining to Immigration, and I have read the part about the Sec. of Homeland Security, and there is also reference to the Sec. of State.. but there is also the US Attorney General, that is also mentioned in there. For some reason, it seems the USAG has a hand in the immigration mix as well. If we search in the US Code for something, perhaps between us, we can find that golden ticket we are all looking for. Also, it might not hurt to contact the USAG and let him know that USCIS is currently falling behind regarding the direction of law. Who knows? It might do some good.. perhaps?

Another part of the United States Code.. it's interesting reading when you get right into it.. and yes, it's current as of 1 year ago...

US Code Title 8 Chapter 12 Subchapter II Part 1

(a) Petitioning procedure

(1)

(A)

(i) Except as provided in clause (viii), any citizen of the United States claiming that an alien is entitled to classification by reason of a relationship described in paragraph (1), (3), or (4) of section 1153 (a) of this title or to an immediate relative status under section 1151 (b)(2)(A)(i) of this title may file a petition with the Attorney General for such classification.

(ii) An alien spouse described in the second sentence of section 1151 (b)(2)(A)(i) of this title also may file a petition with the Attorney General under this subparagraph for classification of the alien (and the alien’s children) under such section.

(iii)

(I) An alien who is described in subclause (II) may file a petition with the Attorney General under this clause for classification of the alien (and any child of the alien) if the alien demonstrates to the Attorney General that—

(aa) the marriage or the intent to marry the United States citizen was entered into in good faith by the alien; and

(bb) during the marriage or relationship intended by the alien to be legally a marriage, the alien or a child of the alien has been battered or has been the subject of extreme cruelty perpetrated by the alien’s spouse or intended spouse.

(II) For purposes of subclause (I), an alien described in this subclause is an alien—

(aa)

(AA) who is the spouse of a citizen of the United States;

(BB) who believed that he or she had married a citizen of the United States and with whom a marriage ceremony was actually performed and who otherwise meets any applicable requirements under this chapter to establish the existence of and bona fides of a marriage, but whose marriage is not legitimate solely because of the bigamy of such citizen of the United States; or

(CC) who was a bona fide spouse of a United States citizen within the past 2 years and—

(aaa) whose spouse died within the past 2 years;

(bbb) whose spouse lost or renounced citizenship status within the past 2 years related to an incident of domestic violence; or

(ccc) who demonstrates a connection between the legal termination of the marriage within the past 2 years and battering or extreme cruelty by the United States citizen spouse;

(bb) who is a person of good moral character;

(cc) who is eligible to be classified as an immediate relative under section 1151 (b)(2)

(A)(i) of this title or who would have been so classified but for the bigamy of the citizen of the United States that the alien intended to marry; and

(dd) who has resided with the alien’s spouse or intended spouse.

(iv) An alien who is the child of a citizen of the United States, or who was a child of a United States citizen parent who within the past 2 years lost or renounced citizenship status related to an incident of domestic violence, and who is a person of good moral character, who is eligible to be classified as an immediate relative under section 1151 (b)(2)(A)(i) of this title, and who resides, or has resided in the past, with the citizen parent may file a petition with the Attorney General under this subparagraph for classification of the alien (and any child of the alien) under such section if the alien demonstrates to the Attorney General that the alien has been battered by or has been the subject of extreme cruelty perpetrated by the alien’s citizen parent. For purposes of this clause, residence includes any period of visitation.

(v) An alien who—

(I) is the spouse, intended spouse, or child living abroad of a citizen who—

(aa) is an employee of the United States Government;

(bb) is a member of the uniformed services (as defined in section 101 (a) of title 10); or

(cc) has subjected the alien or the alien’s child to battery or extreme cruelty in the United States; and

(II) is eligible to file a petition under clause (iii) or (iv),

shall file such petition with the Attorney General under the procedures that apply to self-petitioners under clause (iii) or (iv), as applicable.

(vi) For the purposes of any petition filed under clause (iii) or (iv), the denaturalization, loss or renunciation of citizenship, death of the abuser, divorce, or changes to the abuser’s citizenship status after filing of the petition shall not adversely affect the approval of the petition, and for approved petitions shall not preclude the classification of the eligible self-petitioning spouse or child as an immediate relative or affect the alien’s ability to adjust status under subsections (a) and © of section 1255 of this title or obtain status as a lawful permanent resident based on the approved self-petition under such clauses.

I know... it's quite a list of stuff to read, but it doesn't mention the USCIS a lot, but it does mention the USAG, and since this is under that same title that we are all working under, who knows... is this worth a shot? What do ya think?

Well, you may have luck. Seems that the first few people to try to make their way through a crack are able to before they patch it up. The government has been giving people the run around since time immemorial. Last summer Obama settled a lawsuit with the Native Americans that was filed 15 years ago. I was reading a website that said do not bother contacting your Senators until USCIS has had your case for several years. I tell you it is unnatural for these folks to think of deadlines in terms of days. They count months or years.

According to USCIS they answer for our SR that our case was appointed to an officer on 26 last month and they have sent us an notice but we did not received nothing

Cip.

TOTAL LIE! They told us the same thing when are 30 days where over since our SR was placed... they sad it was mailed on the 4th of Jan. and was the 27th that day! but when we called the last 2 times b4 that 1 week prior they didnt tell us that! WE NEVER GOT ANYTHING IN THE MAIL OR EMAIL OR TEXT! and we checked with our postal office and they have no records or anything mailed to us from them....

TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 13 > SUBCHAPTER II > § 1571

§ 1571. Purposes

(a) Purposes The purposes of this subchapter are to—

(1) provide the Immigration and Naturalization Service with the mechanisms it needs to eliminate the current backlog in the processing of immigration benefit applications within 1 year after October 17, 2000, and to maintain the elimination of the backlog in future years; and

(2) provide for regular congressional oversight of the performance of the Immigration and Naturalization Service in eliminating the backlog and processing delays in immigration benefits adjudications.

(b) Policy

It is the sense of Congress that the processing of an immigration benefit application should be completed not later than 180 days after the initial filing of the application, except that a petition for a nonimmigrant visa under section 1184 © of this title should be processed not later than 30 days after the filing of the petition.

Well, here is another section of the US Code... and it now shows that the USCIS is in violation of the United States Code. At least for those of us now over 180 days.

I wonder if they would like us all now pointing out the sections of the US Code they are in violation of.. interesting read when you start to research immigration law..

I'm sick and tired of hearing things from

Uptight short sided narrow minded hypocritics

All I want is the truth, just give me some truth

I've had enough of reading things

by neurotic psychotic pigheaded politicians

All I want is the truth, just give me some truth

I'm sick to death of seing things from

Tight lipped condescending mama's little chauvinist

All I want is the truth, just give me some truth

I've had enough of watching scenes from

Schizophrenic ego centric paranoid primadonnas

All i want is the truth just give me some truth.....
