Guys, I really don't know if I should be panicking or not. I could use some advice or even just kind words. I have really horrible concerns about WHERE my file might be and if it's even being looked at. The horror stories of those July, August and September filers who have just fallen into a black hole, completely skipped over ... I'm truly shaking and heart palpitating because I'm afraid it's happening to me.

The 9 pm CSC update came in and now I'm left with only a tiny handful of untouched cases, all others around me complete. Is this cause for panic and if so, what can I do about it?

Lynkali, they might be working on your case right now. I got worried before too because late November filers were being approved. Give it till this week then call them to ask an update about your case. It's going to be okay. :)

Hi guys,

We got the hardcopy of the RFE today and I'm a bit confused. Any ideas on what they need? We did send in the final decree of my annulment when we filed so we don't understand what they mean by this. What's a CDLI endorsement? Where do I get these documents? I got the final decree from the court and also submitted annotated marriage certificate from NSO.

Marriage Termination: Submit a legible copy of the final annulment decree that shows proof of filing issued by the National Statistics Office that terminated the prior marriage between XXX and XXX. The requested copy must be issued with a "CDLI endorsement" (Court Documents and Legal Instruments). This endorsement shows any amendments to the original document from marriages, annulments, name changes etc. Unless a CDLI copy is requested, the requester will receive the unamended or original copy of the document.

Our Journey:
11/08/12: NOA1

Think it is the certified copy from the courthouse that you need. Take it it is the US petitioner that is being asked for their divorce papers? I am not 100% sure but maybe the courthouse that dealt with your papers would know exactly what you need

Yeah I'm thinking maybe they need the original documents because we only sent in scanned copies of the decree and the annotated marriage certificate. All these terminologies they use is so confusing. blink.png

I see from Igor's List that they're now working on December and January petitions. Is my file even on a desk anywhere, or is it lost (like has happened to others here at VJ) or what??? sad.pngsad.pngsad.png

I'm a late November filer, and all the WACs around mine look the same as they do around yours. I had my congressman look into for me, and they gave him the same bs answer (still within normal processing time/they're currently working on cases from July) they always give when I call. I'm not too worried yet, just really frustrated. I know the customer service people (without demanding to talk to a level two officer) can only look up what we can look up ourselves, but I'm sick of being told they're still processing July when I know for a fact that Nov, filers are being approved now. The last person I talked to told me that I need to be patient, because they process them in order. It's such a slap in the face to see how many people after me have been approved, or at least gotten an RFE. But then, at the same time, it really sucks for those people who filed in July and still haven't been approved either...it's all just so frustrating!

My fiance called USCIS today and talked to a tier two rep that said the are currently working on applications from October 1st. Clearly a lie. We've been seeing MANY November approvals. We've been in contact with a congressman, hopefully his office will help. Fingers crossed.
