Calling to check on delay after RFE

My filing date is December 7th, 2011. I was expecting approval by May 7th, 2012. I relieved an RFE in April. The copy of the divorce decree did not show that it was filed. I rushed and got a certified copy, express mailed it and got a file date of April 25, 2012. The documents they requested were so simple, a five minute review would show that I complied with the RFE. After reading responses on this site indicating fast approvals after reply to RFE, I was expecting quick approval.

I'm still waiting and I have called three times. First call there was an understanding person that said to call later. I called and got another person that said she would put in an inquiry. I called about ten days after to check and got a rather rude person on the line that was quite cold, said the process could take even more than six days and essentially blew me off.

Well, I am still waiting and tomorrow will be six months since the file date and more than thirty days since the file date of the RFE response. ( Vermont has normal process time of five months)

Any thoughts or advice.

It really depends on the RFE response and the person sitting with your file on the desk. Within 60 days usually means there's nothing you can do before the 60th day that'll get your petition moved anywhere. Even then, they ask you to allow 30 days extra beside the average 5 months of processing - which is only a goal anyways, not a promise. So take a peak at your RFE and see what it says (something a la "please allow xx days").

ON the bright side, this is the last time you'll be going through a service center without your fiance(e) by your side.
