Frustrated with the wait....

Received Packet 9/20/12

Decision ?

It is now past 5 1/2 month mark and still no answer. I tried calling multiple times but the only feedback from the Customer Service Agent is just 'wait'. According to the Agent, processing times shows that they are still working on the file from 7/18/12. That date has not changed for a long time. I am just getting very frustrated with the delay and the lack of attention.

Anyone here suffering from the same consequences? It seems like many were approved earlier than 5 months reading from the posts. We are just getting very anxious.

You are not alone. There are hundreds of people on here waiting longer. http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/monthly_filers.php?cfl=

Fill in your timeline and join the wait with the rest of us. VisaJourney is a great place for support to deal with the frustration.

Skim,

When we were at the point you were (5.5 months), that is when I started to have a freakout. But then I calmed down as I slowly realized we were going to pass Month 6 and Month 7. Chances are you'll be waiting for another few months. Most people are, especially at CSC. I've seen a few people get approved from September, but most people from late July and all of August haven't been approved yet. CSC froze for essentially 3 months and has barely shown signs of life.

Today is 220 for us. Last year at this time, CSC folks were getting approved at around 100 days. I would consider myself lucky if we heard back this month.

It's infuriating, but there's nothing we can do about it. We just have to wait.

I wouldn't waste your breath calling them. They've been working on 18th July for months apparently. That's what they said when we called them. Just hang in there and it will come!

Yep, hang in there, you aren't out of the norm. But a glimmer of hope, perhaps, is that they finally transferred DACA cases to TSC which was more than likely the reason for the extreme slowdown. So hopefully things will begin moving once again. I'd advise preparing for a 7-8 month wait, and if they get you approved faster than that, be pleasantly surprised

Thank you all. I feel better that we are all on the same boat. I think I got much more information from this posting then from USCIS. I hope for the fast turnaround for all of you.

Hi,

I feel for you. I was starting to lose hope already. But then, I realize that feeling this way will not really help. I am waiting for almost 7 months and 1 week now. It's frustrating. I guess we need to be more patient. I believe our approval will come soon. I called customer service last night and the agent told me that they are processing July 18 application. But when I asked for a tier 2, he said that it was the last update since Dec 31, 2012. There's no more update after that. So I am clueless about what is happening. It seems that the information on their system is not updated because there are also some August and September filers that are approved. Apparently, I was also given some general information only because I am the applicant. Tier 2 can only give updates on the case to the petitioner.

This is spot on. I also struggled with the process right around the time we thought it should be ending. I have since settled back in to the waiting game and now don't have that "any day" attitude, which really helps time pass a bit easier.

September 2 filer here! We're on the same boat. Hopefully, CSC will work soon.

God bless!

Still waiting here too. Just got off Skype with my fiance. Hate to say goodnight to him. Another 8 hours before we speak again and every single minute hurts. Hopefully CSC will be up and running with our petitions soon.
