Yes that is true but usually those you see that get approved before their 5 month is expedited cases. I notice you was denied? That is a long time to wait then be denied I thought if denied you could not start over again you have to appeal it? Or fix what ever issue was wrong with the case. Anyway I hope your case goes smoothly on second go around if that is possible.

OMG, please don´t freak me out now!!! appealing and reopening the case are both long, expensive and when it comes to appealing definitely useless in our case. you can´t send in any new evidence when you appeal. we got denied for the lack of evidence... we kinda fixed the issue... we sent in tons of evidence and now we can just hope!!!

I'm just hoping and praying that we hear from them some time before the end of this month or early Feb! Let's just keep the faith going!!!

I hope I'm right too! And if only I could see the future, I'd tell you guys when your NOA 2's are coming to alleviate the pain of waiting even just one bit! :-)

We complete five months since our NOA1 tomorrow. How long would you guys advice we wait before I ask my husband to contact his congressman's office?

I would suggest contacting them now since you are at the 5 month mark. They will probably just tell you that they are behind, but you might get lucky and get an Immigration Liason who decides to write a letter which could trigger a service request.

I called my Congressman's office at about the 3 month mark and again at the 5 month mark. When I called at the 3 month mark I was told to call back at the 5 month mark. When I called at the 5 month mark I was told to call back about 6 weeks later.

This is just my opinion, but it seems that if the liason just calls USCIS they will just tell you what they are telling everyone, that they are behind and they are currently working on June 16. If they send a written request the chances are greater that USCIS will chose to pull your file and work it right away. Probably wouldn't hurt to point out that we know that CSC is not working petitions in order. Based on VJ member timelines it is clear that they are working "low risk" petitions from December, probably in an effort to keep their average processing time at 5 months. Some of these were expedites, but others had no expedite request. I just ask that the system be fair and that it be applied equally to EVERYONE. Also make sure they know that CSC has been stating June 16 for at least 1-2 months now.

We're on our 166th day now but we have no plans on calling them ever. There's a big possibility we're just going to be told that they're still processing ___________ (insert date). 6-7 months is the trend so might as well wait for it... *sigh*

IM SICK OF THIS WAITING!!!! THEY CAN'T JUST DO THIS TO HARD WORKING PEOPLE...I WANT TO GET MY WIFE HERE AND HAVE A NORMAL LIFE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE AND THE ONLY THING PREVENTING ME FROM THIS IS THEIR STUPID APPROVAL. I'm very angry and frustrated as I'm sure all of you are...there has to be something we can do...some kind of pressure we can exert...anything? I refuse to be a taxpayer and be helpless against a government organization that refuses to be honest and fortwright with me.

hey guy. You know i just stop checking my case everyday. It's enough to drive you mad. I am just waiting until they send me the expecting email of approval. It seems that there is nothing we could do except for waiting. It's amazing. We will reach our six month in 1rst feb. In addition when i check my portofilo in my uscis account , there is no action , nothing since the last 5 auguts. May God have mercy.
