[Jarrod&Vicky 17]

So we've had our Congressman involved for the last couple of weeks, and after their third inquiry to USCIS, we finally got a proper response which is that our case is currently in the hands of an officer.

The lady from the Congressman office told Jarrod about how someone over there said that they've just been a bit behind and that our case was in the hands of an officer, to which Jarrod responded "but Obama said there were NOOOO backlogs when it comes to legal immigration cases!!" and of course she started laughing.

On a different note, we've been calling USCIS every day for the past 5 days, and asking for a tier 2. The first 4 were to say the least, not informed, uneducated and disrespectful (one even hung up on us) but yesterday we were transferred to an officer of a higher rank who very well and respectfully informed us that he couldn't disclose any information on the case but that we had to understand that a big part of the process involves a delay at the FBI for the background checks. All cases are different, and some take longer than others, like ours (Jarrod owns his own company and has been living and going back and forth from Argentina and Uruguay to the US for the past 3 years...)

So I thought I might share this info with you, it brought some relief to be given some sort of logical explanation where the delay was. Maybe it can help somebody else, and don't hesitate contacting your Congressman and USCIS because it might work. Just be consistent.

Now all we have to do is wait a couple of more days, and luckily our wait will be over! Good luck to all waiting!

Well thanks for the info. Ours is one day after yours, but I don't think extensive FBI background checks would be relevant in my case, and certainly not for my fiancee. I guess they gave a response that might sound plausible.................but.........I think they are just backlogged. Anyway good luck and I hope we both hear something sooner rather than later.

Updating the waiting list, so it includes ALL of us! Keeping my fingers crossed!

[lyricalan 18]

I really thought this week was our week all early to mid April filers. Seeing a couple of others from the 24th and others around my date seemed like a good sign..........sigh.......another week gone......another @%#£ weekend ahead. Take care all.

[Jarrod&Vicky 17]

There we go everybody. Remember to update if by any chance you get approved late tonight Friday... but I think it will be a bye bye, see you on Monday! Jarrod and I are taking a 5 week vacation together (Yayyyy! ), but I'm taking my tablet with me, so I will be checking in from somewhere along Central America. Praying on next week, so we all might still get a chance to spend the holidays together with our other half in the US!!

Hi guys:

Being a April Filer, I thought I will ask you guys for some help. It's a country specific question for India but some how I couldn't find any information on this, maybe some of you guys must have come across some thing to help me in this regard. NVC has dispatched the approval to New Delhi Us Embassy on Oct 9. Now, My query is Packet 3 will be sent to me by the US Embassy or do I have to scan the documents and send to the Embassy. I have tried calling the US Embassy but no luck no specific answer, the support office, also don't know things in regard...Just in the Dilemma, .. Please shed some light, if you any source.

Thanks
