November filer and I'm Still Waiting...6 months and 10 days

[MMantovani 0]

I can't believe it is taking so long...We filed at the CSC on Nov 8th then on March 28th I got a text saying that our file was forwarded to the NBC and then nothing.

I called them this week informing them that I am outside the normal processing time and she said that my case had been sent to the local office and then the local office sent it back to the service center. She said usaully it gets sent to the local office for a petitioner interview but sometimes not always it gets sent back to the service center with a report from the local office. So how long do I have to wait now

If you haven't already, it is time to contact your senator/congressman. Go to their website and get the release form that allows them to request info on your behalf and fax this over then call them and talk to their immigration liason.

Thanks! I was thinking of contacting them but wasn't sure if it would do any good.

they said we were in background check and to call after 6 months..i think when i read it my heart sunk to the floor..my congressman finally wrote back and i scanned and sent in the privacy act form and our noa1 so they could look into the case..ive already waited 6 months im not waiting 6 more....the senator said we were in extended and could take month or years because was waiting on FBI background but tier 2 person told me that wasnt true we were in normal background status..at this point who knows i just hope they haven't lost it

Wow! Sorry to hear that! As you saw above our case "is now being processed" whatever that means. On the bottom it said something about waiting 180 days before contacting them. It sounds like we are in the same boat. I guess we just have to be patient and just wait. Luckily my husband is patient and very optimistic and of course I'm the total opposite that's why we are the so perfect together

When I screamed about the Caucasus region not being approved and Pakistan and other countries with 60 days later priority dates.

I was approved in 3 hours.. I faxed 40 plus copies of later priority dates and only 2 were from Albania and United Kingdom.. The rest were all middle east, etc....

It took 8 months for me to finally get the NOA2. I got stuck an additional 3 months for extended background checks and then paper work got sent to NBC for a standard interview. I had contacted my senator and within 2 days he found out what was going on with my husbands petition and had an interview date for me at the local office. In my opinion, it really pays off to get your Senator involved!
