But Senators don't lie.

I think the biggest mess up in the whole of this, is misinformation.

Me to Fermat, just emailed her, first email that we ever sent. Let me now when you will have the answer.

Me three...a fe hours ago and no response from her yet. I however have had some touches, so I don't want to go crazy. It is evident that she is working to help many of us out. I don't want to harass her....just yet. lol.

But....still...can I get a response to my email??? lol

I'm worried I didn't write it correctly. I didn't state myself as the beneficiary or state my husband's name in it. I just put the receipt number and expressed my concern and put my name at the end. :wacko:

Would this cause her to ignore my email?

Angela Barrows is my hero! I wrote an email to her this morning after I got that third status update about being transferred to a USCIS office, and she wrote me back less than 50 minutes later with this:

"Your petition is at CSC and is with an officer today. This is good news! :)"

I really think she is doing her best, and it's nice to know someone has got our backs. I hope those of you who are still waiting to hear back from her receive something soon.

And congratulations to everyone else who has been approved/shipped to NVC! It's hard to keep up!

So irritating! I have emailed her twice this week and nothing. My NOA1 date is 7/17. I just don't understand why she is responding to everyone else except for me :crying:

I am wondering if they have lost my petition.

There are plenty of people she hasn't responded to. Maybe some of the files are just a little more difficult to locate than others (which is a little scary, I know), and she's probably waiting on other, less efficient/super busy people to get back to her. But I'm sure she'll respond to you soon – hang in there!

I guess that's sort of reassuring and scary at the same time. It'd be pretty typical with my luck if they lost my application, BUT I did make 2 extra copies :thumbs:

Havent seen mmy hubby since June 2010 too and i miss him like i've never missed anyone that much in my entire life.

I feel your pain. I don't think most people realize the toll that this entire process can take on a person. At first, my goal was to have my wife here by March.... now it's just to have her here before the end of the year :crying: I wish you (and all of us) speedy approvals!!!

Have faith in her. It takes time to answer emails. If you're getting touched, she's working on it.good.gif

Just recieved this reply from my guardian angel Angela :innocent:,

"Your case is with an officer at CSC as I write this, so you should receive a decision soon. Hope this helps."

I will take this "soon" and shutup. I need to just have patience. They screwed up big time, but they are obviously making extreme efforts to get us along!

This is a GOOD woman. She obviously cares and has taken complete control. What she is doing is totally against normal protocol I am sure.

She is turning into a total saviour. I can only imagine her workload right now.

I have a BIG admiration for this woman.

Did she actually put the smiley face on?

TSC don't deserve it, but when we're all through this, she deserves a bouquet of flowers from us. Her assistant Cindy has also got our backs too.

I forgot to mention earlier. When I spoke with the reporter yesterday, I told her that Angela was the only one at USCIS that was making an effort to look out for us victims.

I'm sending a reply back with a heartfelt thank you for helping to move things along.

I agree that this is probably totally against protocol. I admire her as well. She realizes the mistakes that were made and that is why she is getting on a more personal level with us in responding to emails and trying to reassure people.

This was all we wanted all along, just someone to tell us what is going on instead of leaving us in the big black hole. I'm not out the clear yet, but I feel way more at ease right now.
