I am still waiting too. Sent Nov 6, received November 7 with "issue date" NOA1 of Nov 9.

Yesterday I tried contacting both of my senators and my congress representative. I faxed the privacy form plus a detailed strongly worded letter explaining how delayed my case is and how other later filers have been approved.

Senator Feinstein: I called after 3 hours to see if they received the fax. They said "yes, we got it, but we won't look at it for about 4-5 weeks, we look at these complaints in the order they're received." They sounded exactly like CSC. I collapsed and sobbed for an hour, uncontrollably.

Senator Boxer: I called after 2 hours but couldn't talk to anyone to see if they'd received the fax. I left two voice messages (the second one nearly crying) but didn't hear back. This morning they returned my call and said essentially the same as Feinstein. "We've received your communication, someone will look at it in a week, then hand it on to a caseworker to process in the order it was received, probably about 4 weeks." Rage.

Congressman Duncan Hunter: I was really hesitant because I dislike his politics, but ... his staff so far have given me the most hope. I called to see if they received the fax, and the very nice lady said "oh, I haven't checked the fax machine today, let me see." While I was on the phone, she read over my letter quickly and immediately recognized there was a valid concern. Then she said "well, our immigration caseworker just had a baby yesterday and is on leave, but I will send her this in email and perhaps she can look at it from home." This morning I got an email from the caseworker saying "we have contacted CSC regarding your case and will notify you when we get any response." So it's still resting on CSC, but at least SOMEONE has started inquiring.

I am still hoping for an approval without congressman involvement, but perhaps someone inquiring will at least start it moving again. It's the first sign of hope I've had in 2 weeks, and I need it, badly. I'm barely functioning to teach or even clean the house, this is so bad.

Did you not include his passport photo or was it the wrong size? I don't think either of our passport pictures we sent are exactly 2x2 because we got them done here in Hungary.
