Hi, this is my first post. My NOA1 date is Aug 4th. CSC seems to stuck with June applications forever. Has anyone ever tried to email Ombudsman Liaison Unit and got a response about the delay in processing IR-1/CR-1 applications at CSC? I found the below paragraph in the below link in USCIS website. For what it is worth I am thinking of sending an email. May be if many of the us July and August filers send an email things will improve a bit? :huh: Any thoughts?

It's worth a shot, but I know for the K-1 fiancé visa, that the wait for CSC is really at or a bit over 5 months. I was two weeks away from my 2 month mark when we were approved. It may help to email them, it may not. It still comes down to being a waiting game unfortunately.
