Thanks Katie... I'm still here ( not by choice) We were transferred to TSC on November 27th.

I heard conflicting statements about calendar days or business days. Senator's office says business days, USCIS tier 1 & 2 say calendar days. Either way, its been 2 months since we were transferred. I have 2 service requests in with the USCIS and an inquiry from the Sentor's office . They all gave specific dates they would respond by. This week , my mission is to get SOMEBODY to do SOMETHING.

Pray for my K-3 to go threw . Of course if they refuse, I have no choice but to take the I-130... I would really rather skip the NVC and go on to our interview, file our waiver and worry about adjusting after the waiver is approved....

At NSC, got an RFE today :( I guess at least someone touched the file. Not sure what its about, hopefully something that is easily obtained. I'm thinking it might be for the original marriage certificate, at the time we filed we only had a temporary copy. I have the certificate now though, so it would be an easy fix. *prays*
