March (2012) filers...

Also has anyone tried making a 2nd visit with the VWP while waiting for this K1?

i went there twice and didn't have any problems at all. the second time, i told the guy at poe about the visa (because one of his questions was what day we are getting married) and in the end he even said: "alright, welcome to the us - welcome home! oh.. ooops.. not yet, but soon!"

that was the nicest experience i've ever had at poe - so don't worry, you guys should be fine. he asked me a few questions, but he didn't even want to see any ties...(even though i had some in my carry-on.. just in case). he also stamped the full 3 months.

Nick your about to hit 8 months already and I and right behind you. I wonder what the longest time someone has waited on here for their fiance visa. I havent seen anyone over 300 days so hopfully we are close to the end of this madness.

Heh, This is Elizabeth. However, Nick reads these forums too! I don't know what the longest someone has waited is, but I did see someone say their friend waited over 300 days. However, I have to assume (for my own sanity) that there must have been something really wrong with that petition for them to wait almost a full year to see an approval.

You did get a service request put in, right? I think that will honestly help you!!

Yes, about two days ago I put one in. Honestly, I'm not sure if it will help. I've read about so many people having their service request time out. I've come to thinking that it really doesn't matter if you get a congressional inquiry, or a service request, or even an expedite... I think that petition will simply sit around until the UCSIC agent you have been assigned is ready to deal with it. No sooner, no later...

I agree because I had a service request and a congressional inquiry and they continue to use the same old line of backgrounds pending. We are left with sitting and waiting while I have to calm my fiance down once a week because it has now been a year since we last saw each other.

I'm curious. The first service request I had, which timed out (they claimed they emailed me it was within normal limits) started with "T1B". The second one, which may have worked, started with "ECC". Does your start with that? What is your congressman saying/doing? I came home yesterday to find a letter from mine, and instead of the usual "we have contacted USCIS on your behalf", it said "We have notified the proper authorities at USCIS..." This was after I sent them yet another fax, with a letter and screen shots, links, etc. from VJ. I listed all the ones processed after my date. I pleaded with them to please help me and NOT accept the lies Vermont was spinning them. Don't know if it helped... who knows?

Please, try again and again!! Don't sit and take it. At least it will give you the feeling you are doing 'something'.

I agree. I'm tired and DONE. No more calls or letters. If it happens now, great. If it happens in December, so be it.

It's very likely you will get it this month. Keep up the good hope. Igor's list looks great for VSC recently. They're working on March and some April, and the processing time has updated to March 5, 2012.

Well, ours starts with ETC. I'm not sure what the numbers at the front mean or if they really hold any bearing on how your request is handled. Trying to decipher that actions of USCIS is like trying to translate hieroglyphics. I sent our congressman another letter on Sunday alerting them that we are past the 30 day point since sending in our RFE and I have yet to hear so much as a reply stating that they have pursued any further action with VSC. Truly, all of this letter writing/service request sending feels like pointless spinning of wheels. It doesn't seem to get anywhere. I've been working with the Congressman for 3 months now to no avail. A congressional inquiry might have held water back in the day, but I think now it's not cause for any special attention to be given to a case. I think all any of us can do is just wait and hope that maybe whoever is assigned to our case will decide to return their attention to it and grant us an approval.

just some advise for later: don't send your documents to the embassy via dhl!!!!!! they suck! i sent off my pack 3 for the embassy last saturday and they still haven't received it!!!! it took till tuesday till it even left my city and then the estimated delivery date was yesterday. however it wasn't delivered and it is still sitting in a different city than where it has to go!!!! so if you ever have anything important to mail, DON'T use DHL!!!!!!!!!!!!

DHL only deliver stuffs oversea not within my country they're operating. My option would be to send through mail express service at the post office which is located in the same area as the US embassy. I think I could get it delivered on the same day.
