We got approved today!

What a hassle near the end. I called USCIS twice this week and was given nothing but attitude even though I'm quite cordial. After 2 failed attempts at trying to get any information there, I emailed my local Congressman. Within 10 mins of sending the email, I had a phone call from his office telling me they called USCIS

and got a case worker assigned to my case. 24 hours later, I got an approval!

So for those of you past 5 months that are frustrated with USCIS, just contact your congressman! It can't do any harm, and most often gets the ball rolling!

Thanks to this site for all the help so far!

TIME TO CELEBRATE!!

Congrats, you are lucky. When I contacted my congress person, I was told that "it could take several weeks for them to hear a response from USCIS and that I need to understand that five months is just an average time, it could take six or seven months and still be considered normal"...

Congratulations, you've got this far!

Calling your congressman does not always work from my own experience but certainly worth the try.
