That June 16 has been there forever, I dont think the system is updated, they keep on saying they process June 16 but how come there are July filers getting approvals lately.

Only one that I know of...

Our case has been touched 1st of August and nothing happened after that. No RFE or whatsoever. If you get RFE you should get it right after they looked at your case right (TOUCH)? Correct me if im wrong, I would be very dissapointed if I wait 5-6 months and will get RFE after. It sucks

Exactly my concern right now. I've read about one VJ'er got an RFE on their 4th-5th month already. It's our 144th day now since our NOA1 and I'm expecting the wait to reach till the 6th month (180 days) but I'm hoping not to get an RFE after such a long wait.

Actually you all need to try expedite requests once you reach 160 days.

I would imagine it would depend on what the potential RFE was for. However, as far as I know no one knows exactly what they do with our packages when they receive them beyond generating the NOA1 and then tossing it in a box (aside from the lucky ones that get processed right then for some reason).

I would like to think that they at least check your basic forms and such so that they could catch an early RFEable issue. Yet, this are the same people who have been telling us '16June' for more than a month and a half now...

An interesting thought. I doubt they'd approve many of them though. That said, I do plan on starting to call them every day starting tomorrow with calls to my Congressman and Senator starting at the 155th day.

Thats how the process should be, once they receive the application, they should atleast take a look at it and make sure that everything is good to go. So we dont wait 5-6 months before they look at the paperworks and you get a RFE because you missed 1 signature on the form and wait for another 2 months just for that.

After 5 (calendar) months, just try calling agents until you trick one into putting in an out of processing time service request. Try telling them you know people who have been approved as late as the most recent approval you've seen on here. They will give you a confirmation # and tell you to call back in 15 days....

They did this to us, and when I called back 15 days later, they told me that I wasn't actually out of processing time, so a service request couldn't have been put in, but transferred me to a Tier II because they had put in a request for a duplicate NOA1 (not what I asked for). The next day we were approved (170 days from NOA1). Not sure whether it was coincidence, but it's worth a try.

I think some of the agents are more willing to put in any request they can just to quiet you down, and others are more willing to transfer you to a Tier II agent than others...just keep trying until you get one of those people.

So far our service request has not triggered a thing. It is an expedite service request. It is going to be denied for the 4th time. Isn't it?

Starting today I'll be calling them every day... we'll see if I start calling them as often as I check the website...

How is your NVC journey going?

Sad to say, probably will be. What reason did you give?
