Hi, me and my fiance are worrying so much about our petition. Its almost 9 months now since we filed our petition last Oct.2012. We understand the volume of the cases and we did everything that we had to. We sent everything in order, organized every single stuff on it. We complied for what we missing yet why they giving us to many reasons. The volume, or the cases ahead on us, we understood theres a ###### load of petition. More than 6months when we got an RFE. It only asked about my fiance's copy of his criminal record on the court. We did and sent it on May 15 2013 and 2days after they received our additional evidence. They gave us another 60 days time frame, "wc WE UNDERSTOOD". But then we both worrying so much and we have the feeling that we not gonna make it or something in a short term they're about to "DENY" us, thats what we feel. But still we've made ourselves to calm down even we're both pressured. We haven't done anything wrong, nor being a fraud. We filled out everything genuinely, we didn't lie or something. His in the army too and were both worried he might got an order from afghanistan and that we don't know exactly when it will be or what.We did an inquiry last June 2013 and they gave us another 60 days for them to comply? which is WOW honestly we both got pissed. We kept calling the immigration everyday and most of the agent were rude. Only 3 agent really did something for us and they're realy polite but the rest "NOTHING". The first agent told us we could be able to talk to a higher rank after 6months or something but yea we failed 'coz we couldnt and until now we can't. So on that part the agent was lying I guess but im not judging him. While the 2nd and the 3th agent made us an inquiry. Finally we're glad "VERMONT REPLIED, BUT THEY SAY'S, THEY DUNNO WHY OUR PETETION WAS TAKING SO LONG..???? so what's up with that answer. They dunno? why? at the first place thats their job but they dunno? And that's the only answer we got from VERMONT. Now again 'coz we kept bugging them everyday and maybe some agent kept making us an inquiry AGAIN VERMONT REPLIED, BUT REALLY PISSED THE ###### OUT OF US 'BCZ NOW FROM GETTING OUR EVIDENCE WE GOT BACK TO INITIAL REVIEW????? Ohh holy ###### why? what they told us was , WHY WE HIRED A LAWYER TO PREPARED OUR PETITION WHICH IS ###### RIDICULOUS. BECAUSE WE'VE MADE OUR PETITION BY OURSELVES. SO ONLY 2 OF US MADE IT "WITHOUT A LAWYER" .We ###### made everything more than a month. Checked everything that we needed but "NEVER HIRED A LAWYER" aside from being expensive, we wanted to show that we made it only 2 of us... but no... We need some help . I dunno who might gonna help us but this is way to much now. We have alot of stuff ahead too. Time were really wasted for nothing. Please if someone have an experience about this would you kindly share it to me or what I dunno all I did was to cry everyday. We losing hope please sad.pngsad.png W really needed some help.

Maybe its an approval after that..Same situation as our case before..After we sent the RFE reply, our status was "RFE Response Review" and after 2 days it was back at "Initial Review" but after exactly 7 days, we were approved..

Hang on there!..I know its not easy. I've been through that and it took us 17months before VSC finally approved our case because it was stuck somewhere where no one can explain.

Yes, very long so don't get depressed..I hated VSC so much because they can not give us the exact reason what is taking so long for our petition. Imagine our life was also stuck..I can not think right..Some fights in between..I was just stagnant for some time.

I'm hoping to hear that you are approved sooner..Take care

On the same boat as you, we filed on, October 03, 2012, received an Rfe of a missing copy of divorce decree and then sent the reply on April 17 until now, nothing is happening. It's been more than 9 months. I am also clueless about what's happening

did you guys keep calling them to update your case? if not, start bugging them now. coz after 6 months of our petition we kept bugging them and always gave them a call to ask for an update.Made an inquiry . well as usual they telling the same reasons or lines wc we understood already but what were asking about was, whats goin' with our petition. Finally last night my fiance got to talk to someone higher in clearance and she told us it's maybe on their system and she called vermont and vermont replied, " we should get our decision within a week." So that agent told us to give vermont another week, then if not and they failed to do so , the agent told us to stop calling for an updates instead ask for the petition to be transferred to a office. Even the agent said my fiance is an active military so they usually does those right away.. So as a suggestion keep calling them and ask the agent to make an inquiry just like us we keep calling them everyday so they would be push to do their job. So now im hoping within this week we finally get what we're waiting for so long. They got no idea how hard it is for all of us or what we,ve bee goin thru. Im hoping for you to get some goodnews also just a suggestion always give them a call and push them to make an inquiery or call to vermont as much as possible.

How did you get to have a person call the Vermont Service Center? We'vr tried Congressman they now have the release form.

i remembered one agent before who told us, we could talk to someone higher in clearance after 6 months but we've made it only last night. i dunno it just happened . my fiance was calling them everyday tho til last night he called around 11 10pm and waited for about 66 minutes and he got to talk to an agent someone higher and that agent made a call to vermont and made them to answer our quiries. So they told us to wait for a week and within that week we should get our desicion. And i hope so. my fiance sent a letter to a congressman in texas but until now nothing happens. but after last night i feel we're way closer now to the final step
