When I called csc last Friday they told me they were working on April 16. So the time l stopped looking at, well to be honest I still look but I dont expect anything by vj time line cause it has come and gone. Sigh

Hi VJ'ers. We are now past the date range that VJ estimates for our I129F processing time. At the bottom of our Timeline page on VJ, it says "If this date range has passed or your application is past due per USCIS processing times then you should consider calling the USCIS to inquire on your petition." But we are not sure about which number to call. I tried calling the number on the NOA1 letter, but all I get there is a recorded status that is exactly the same message as our USCIS account status on the web.

Can anyone here recommend a different number to call?

Has anyone actually gotten through to a live person before?

Ideas on how to navigate through the voice prompts to get to a live rep?

Will the USCIS rep will even be able to give out any information beyond the standard "our processing time target is 5 months" anyway?

Thanks,

M&J

Your NOA1 is from June. You will not get them to do anything until 5 month have passed, which is their published timeframe. VJ is just an estimate, is has ZERO clout with USCIS.

After they tell you the information about your case that is already list in website ask what date they are processing now. They will ask for the zip code of petitioner and will then give you date that is being worked on. That is what I did and it was not a tier 2 that I spoke with it was the first person that answered.

There is nothing that you can do to speed up your case. Just hang in there. Calling a Congressman can be a waste of their time. USCIS has a staff that deals directly with congressional members when they call in. All they do is promise to them they will get it done. The only thing you have is time. They won't lose your petition. I know it feels like an eternity since you have sent it in, but they will get to it. The only way you could possibly speed up your process is to be friends with one of the adjucators inside the CSC. Hang in there.
