Getting my representative involved

[HawaiianCecil 31]

So I received my NOA1 on September 5, 2012. Fed up with waiting, I contacted my Congress woman's office. Her immigration person contacted USCIS on my behalf and was told the following: " Your constituent's case is currently under review by an Officer and can expect a response within 45 days". Sooooo, if they add another 45 days to the nearly 5 months I've already waited, it should give the rest of you an idea of what can be expected of the CSC.

Sucks but what can I do but keep waiting? At least glad I contacted my representative.......

Sorry but September to January isn't 5 months,,,,,,it's only 4. You are well within the timelines and need to just wait.

September 1 to February 1 is five months. I am aware that I am one week early.....

September 5*. They're only counting from the date of your NOA1.

Same comment....keep waiting. Good friends of ours took 10 months, no RFEs and he was military. It will take as long as it takes....you knew that going in. Keep up the communications and planning for their arrival. All this will be over eventually and you'll never look back. It's a good test of your relationship.

Sorry to be a date buster. Your supposition is that 5 months has passed when you hit the Feb 5 date. Unfortunately this is the absolute beginning of the 5 month period (personal previous experience working for the government ). So your full 5 months is up on March 4 2013. I am Sept 4 and this is actually good news as this means that adjudication is only around 15 days behind schedule; if you wait the (stated within) full 45 days. Hopefully speeding up, if trends repeat themselves, we will see responses and NOA 2's late February.

Appreciate the responses. I didn't post this to complain about the waiting - I was aware of what I got myself into! I posted because I wanted to share the response I received from my representative's office......

All you can do is wait.

The end results will be worth it.

I received a RFE on DEC 13, 2012 i mailed it and they received it on dec.18,2012 but I have not got a reply saying they got my evidence. i have called uscis many times with no help or info from them... so my question is how do you get your congress person involved? thanks

I just wrote a detailed letter to her office and I got an email from her attorney the next day. You can just use Google to find out who is your representative. Good luck!
