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.

Nothing like raising a bit of hell to rattle some cages. One voice is quiet, many are louder!!

And my blog is going to stay up until this is completed. Yes, I am sorry that TSC was dumped on by someone in the "Puzzle Palace" but they must be held accountable so this does not happen again.

Congratulations!!!

For those of you getting email alerts whenever a post in this thread, I can hear you know, "Damn that SqdnGuns, not again!!"

Well, my persistence paid off, I just got an email from the Director of the Texas Service Center, this is a reply to one that I sent to her 20 minutes before getting this reply.

Mr. Grant,

Thank you for your email. I had received one over the weekend from you and your case was approved this morning. You should be able to see it on the case status online tomorrow or Wednesday. I would have to agree with you that the process was temporarily broken, but we have taken steps to correct this and we will have all cases processed within the next weeks. Hopefully your future experiences with USCIS and with TSC will be more positive. My apologies for your wait, and I hope that your son recovers soon and fully.

Regards,

Angela K. Barrows

I truly hope that hey have fixed their errors for the sake of the rest of you. I am waiting to hear back from her whether our case will be expedited @ NVC and the Embassy.

Congratulations!!! :dance::dance::dance:

My husband just called me.

He put second SR more then 3 weeks ago, 2 weeks ago we got approval and we just forgot about that SR. But today he got letter-response, the same as first one in december: case required additional review and 6 monthes waiting :blink: :blink: :blink:

What? We have NOA2 letter on hands, we had e-mail from congressman about approval either.

#######??? How do they do their job? They even dont look into their databases or what
