Its now a year and almost two months since my fiancé sent our K-1 our RFE has been with VSC since February 12th we were told back in March it would take up to 90 days for a decision that too is up so a phone call was made to Vermont by my fiancé this past Monday with an explanation as to why he was calling, the lady on the other end of the phone told him its still with them and that they are a little behind and have a back log of Visas but we should have a decision any day now

I am sorry it has taken this long. The system just isn't efficient. They say that DACA files have backlogged both CSC and VSC. Have you put in a service request? Or perhaps you can set up an infopass appointment. 5 month is a very long time to be waiting for a reply to an RFE, I suggest doing everything you can to contact them. Calling the phone customer center just doesn't work. No one there actually knows what's happening. They are just given a script. Try filing a service request, and book an infopass appointment at your local office. If none of those work, contact your government officials. 5 months is too long to wait for a reply to an RFE!

I sent a service request back in April and another in June both came back telling me its with a review officer and we would have a decision within 60 days an info pass would be something my fiancé would have to file

Maybe have your fiance file for an infopass. I am guessing that the reason you filed for your 2nd service request in June is because the 60 days from April have passed already. Speaking to a live person at the infopass appointment might be better. Let them know the 60 days from your first service request already passed. If that doesn't do anything maybe be let your fiance contact his legislators.

To be honest I have lost faith in the whole USCIS system definitely a far cry from the way government departments run in NZ

Thought I would update our progress, my fiancé got a letter yesterday from VSC stating a decision will be made August 18th however there were two letters from family members supporting they had met me that were not dated. A decision can be made on the evidence they have but it will help us if the two letters are dated, so those letters will be in the post tomorrow and we will await our decision. A little part of me is excited but also nervous at the same time, its just nice to know that things are finally moving along
