Well, tomorrow is Thursday so hopefully they will do some work. I feel like this is really starting to take a toll on my relationship with Nick. All the time now I'm just grumpy and upset. I hate it, but I can't seem to bring myself out of this funk. I really can not understand why our case hasn't been addressed. I am now nearly certain we are the longest waiting case on visa journey for a k-1 visa. I look at older cases on the timeline and the profiles haven't been logged into in ages, or appear to not be functional anymore. This whole thing is just so crazy. I got a letter from the congressman today saying they put in another inquiry asking if a decision had been made on our visa. Is that all Congress really asks? I mean I can tell the answer to that myself in 2 seconds. I thought their job was to urge them to tend to files that had been long over looked?

They (Congressman/woman) are hopeless. I contacted my Senator last Friday, but haven't heard from them yet. I really think you need to WALK into your local Senate office (usually they have offices all over the state) and bring your laptop and log into VJ...show them Igor's list and people's post bragging how they got approved in 3 months!

UGH! Stop. At the risk of being flamed by everyone, and being a visajourney member myself, I still have to ask if you guys could keep this stuff offline and off the forum? This can't be the only way y

I can only imagine the dread that April and May filers must be thinking. The same things we did when we saw February people waiting 200 days. The denial... "Oh, surely they will catch up by us?" or th

In honor of the amazing super fast VSC rep holding our case hostage, I've written a poem. It is to the tune of "You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch". I call it, "Ode to Mister Sloth". You're a slow one,

Our status on uscis.gov finally changed to Response review. Im dreading the fate of some of the RFE's- waiting for 2 or more months to get a decision.

That is just crazy.

Hope we are all out of this VSC hell very soon.

It's going to be my first time in the US too :)

It's time to move up the ladder and contact a senator. Explain to him/ her all about how USCIS is ignoring/lying to your congressman. Give all evidence you have. If you need "witnesses" of people who have been approved well after you, I will gladly write a supporting statement. It is wrong that you cannot be with the one you love. My heart hurts to hear it is affecting your relationship. Love should conquer all, not be killed by USCIS. I know you'll want to throw a pail of vomit at me for saying this, but please don't give up hope! You are THE most patient and deserving couple on VJ. You WILL make it! You won't be one of those abandoned accounts. You will be the model to never give up.

Thank you, Tigerflower. I truly appreciate that. :) And, I'm sure we won't ever give up on our process because I love Nick too much to ever be without him. It's just the day to day. He says there's nothing wrong with being grumpy if you have a real reason to be grumpy, but I hate it because I feel like it keeps me from really enjoying our talks and his company (so much as I can have it through the internet). I think we used to joke around more (a few months ago) and I was happier and more affectionate... now, I just feel like a total pill. I think I am really lucky to have him, even when I am a grump and feeling blue he's always there for me. It's just not fair really. I hate that it affects my mood so much and in turn affects the time we get together. That makes me sad. And, you know what... I'm going to start on the Senator right now!

They (Congressman/woman) are hopeless. I contacted my Senator last Friday, but haven't heard from them yet. I really think you need to WALK into your local Senate office (usually they have offices all over the state) and bring your laptop and log into VJ...show them Igor's list and people's post bragging how they got approved in 3 months!

I'll have to see where the offices are. I'm sure there is at least one in D.C. And I suppose if I went there I could visit a USCIS agent as well... Ugh, it's mind boggling we are having to fight this hard.

On this senator website it says... his policy is to avoid working on cases that are currently being handled by other senators or house members. I'm not sure what to do about that...

Good morning Marchies. I got the text this morning as I was walking in to work, then I rushed to log on to the USCIS site to check. Finally my petition is approved. Just like the sentiments of others, although this should be a very happy time to shout it from the mountain top, USCIS makes it a bit difficult because our fellow Marchies (and some February folks) are still waiting. I've bonded with many of you and I will not leave this thread until everyone on our active list is approved. (F) I'm also interested to hear about everyone's next steps (issues, questions, comments, advice, etc) up to POE, so I'll be here beyond USCIS approval. So come on VSC!! More approvals!!
