The privacy release form that I faxed to the senator definitely made a difference. Our file has been updated twice in two days. But, no approval yet.........Is that a bad thing, or is it normal??

When I had the service request and an inquiry to USCIS from my Congresswoman, my case was also updated twice on two consecutive days. We did get a quick reply the following day, but unfortunately it wasn't the news we had hoped for. But yes, I imagine they have at least looked at your case if it's been updated. Hopefully yours will be great news - best of luck!! :)

I'm sorry to hear that....... I hope they will make a decision soon on your case. I just looked at your timeline. I still don't understand the background checks this early in the process. I thought they did that background checks on the beneficiary later before the interview. Do they do them in the beginning? I guess that would make sense why it takes so long. Best of luck to you too!

I called USCIS on the 26th and they put a service request in, and I still never heard anything or had any touches. Friday I faxed the privacy release form over to the senator's office, called yesterday and had to leave a voicemail saying that I was checking to see if they received it and that we needed help if possible.......yesterday afternoon there was a touch and then another one today. I'm pretty sure they must have called to get the ball rolling......I just hope we get some positive news now:)

I actually didnt trust that form and never mailed it off but I got a response a week later anyways..Thanks for letting us know and trust our congressman a little more cause I lost hope on them.
