Are they still processing June 16? Its been June 16 since November.

Maybe they are just saying that to give us a little surprise. They let us focus on June 16 so that when our NOA 2 comes, we get so excited and happy that we'd forget how slow they were in processing our files. Just a hunch. :-D

Or on the other hand they just update that date after a batch clears.

Or they only update it after every single petition older than that date has been processed in some manner so they don't have to field a single service request...

Here is something to read while we wait.. and wait.. and wait...

Help for illegals

Sure is nice to know that since they skipped the entire process and/or overstayed a B2, they can just do the whole thing while they're together. No long separation.. uncertain outcome.. presumably not even worries that they'll be randomly denied at the consulate..

So, while we all sit and wait and wait and wait... just remember... they just bypassed the whole process and were rewarded for it... Not that I'm bitter about things...

Day 169...

If so that means NOTHING to us! 176 days pending initial review!!!!! I hope they understand how cruel they are by separating us from our loved ones fort long segments of time! I even will most likely undergo lengthy AP after this because I am Pakistani. I wish that I could just have my wife come live here with me. I am about to give up altogether and just plan to move my family to another country here after awhile. Did any of you file a service request for a case status inquiry? My wife did on Dec 27 and they misplaced it. Then on Jan 3 she did and they still have never fulfilled the request. What is this CSC Stats this paisaman has created on here? Is there any truth to the data on these charts he has come up with? If so, it appears we are still in for a LONG haul!!!!! Also, the person who had the insider stated that we are still in storage if our cases are from July 15-August 5.

***This is a cross post from another thread***

Holy #######!!

I actually got a lady who cared and put in a service request '16June' or no '16June'!

Who knows what will come of it.. she said that if I don't hear anything in 15 days to email back at a given address. It may result in nothing more than 'Wait your turn', but at least she didn't just blow me off. :D

For future reference, her name was Rosa and her BadgeID number was G674402.

I don't know if you can request to speak to a particular person when you can, but if you can, asking for her would probably help.

With that in mind, anyone who is at or beyond 5 months, call immediately. Maybe there is some small chance we can wake CSC up?

Also, the person who had the insider stated that we are still in storage if our cases are from July 15-August 5.

As to Paisaman's data and method, it seems a sound process and is probably as accurate as anything can be from the outside looking in.

As to all petitions 15July - 5August, that would tend to explain why there have hardly been no approvals for July in general, post-mid July in particular. However, there are some outliers that spoil that pattern. They could be explained as being in certain special classes. Military, expedites, that sort of thing.

I finally was able to get them to put in a service request. I was told that in 15 days if I hear nothing to email them. Needless to say, if I haven't heard anything by 1100 on 1February I'll start screaming bloody murder. If your wife is the USC, she should be doing the same thing as well. This is the government we're talking about and they often won't do a thing until they're pushed and pushed and pushed. Senators and Reps should be engaged as well but they have to be kept on top of as well. No one cares about this process like you and she do. So, for better or for worse, we in the position have to keep hammering them until they do their job.

Hello! She just called NCSC and the lady was really mean and hateful to her. She made a service request but there was no room in the box to type anything so we have no idea if it will help. They have three service requests that were denied for my wife's medical health. I think this is going to be denied or overlooked like all the others. The case status inquiry is useless at this point. They say they are working on June 16 applications. They say allow 39 days and then you can complain. But I remember a few months ago they said we could contact them after 5 months. I actually feel like they are giving us the run around here. This lady she spoke to had a deep southern accent (I overheard on 3 way conference). I do not know what we can do at this point. We will go ahead and contact the congressman this week.

Hammer your Senators and Representatives...

Call them every other day.. if no action.. call every single day.

Will it fix it? Maybe.. maybe not.. Will it hurt? Nope. Might even remind CSC that there are people paying attention...
