I just checked the embassy website and it says we can expect to wait 6 weeks to hear from them after submitting the Applicant Readiness form. My understanding is that they then send a letter with an interview date one month later, so about I'm hoping the worst case scenario is 10 weeks from submitting until interview.

I hope you hear very soon! Have you tried calling USCIS? Sometimes I think just bringing the case up to someone's attention moves things along...that could be my imagination.

I hope you hear very soon! Have you tried calling USCIS? Sometimes I think just bringing the case up to someone's attention moves things along...that could be my imagination.

We did, when we were in the beginning of month no. 3! There we just got the standard answer to wait the full processing time before we could get any more information,..... And nothing happend to our case.....

My fiance wrote the senator from alabama an e-mail 3 weeks ago and he advised us to a higher person that can get an infopass from uscis about our case! My fiance wrote his secretary and she said to us to mail a letter with authorization that he can gets information for us from USCIS, Copy of NOA1 and my full name and birth date of me and so on....

He should have received this letter yesterday, so we are excited..... Hopefully hearing something good next week!

People,

could it be the reason that we still wait for our NOA2 because we have an attorney since the beginning???

Are they not working on our case because they see .... "Aaahh they use an attorney, we work on their case later" or what
