What can we do?

[John&Lena 17]

Hello again!

In short: doing a K1 visa, case received by Vermont on Feb 27th, so we're past the 5 months waiting period.

Called them on August 5th to ask what's going on, and all they said was "We're working on cases from Feb 27th right now, you'll get news in 7ish days. If not, call us back next monday".

So we did call them back today.

And they said "We are still working on Feb 27th, you'll have to call back next week if nothing changes."

After telling them that this is the exact same answer we got last week, they said "We can't do anything until we're working on cases from Feb 28th. You'll have to keep calling until then. Then you can expedite maybe."

I find this very weird.. is there really nothing else we can do?

Anyone else having the same issue?

Are you speaking with a tier 2 officer? I've heard the first line of defense guys don't always know what's going on.

Has your case been transferred? I know a lot of vsc petitions ended up gettin shipped to Texas...

Nope, not transferred at all, we're still stuck in Vermont!

And I don't think so, John never gets past the first person, they always say that they aren't able to tell more.

Any idea how to talk to a tier 2 then?

You have tot keep waiting since that IS your only option.

Thank you.

I know we have to keep waiting. I know that all too well.

And Himortada, I'd suggest you make your own seperate topic.

Ive seen where couples past the waiting period call their local congressman and get them involved

When you talk to the first person say right away you wanna talk to a tier 2 about your case. It's your RIGHT to talk to one. And they have to transfer you. They might say something like 'it'll be a long waiting time' trying to make you reconsider. Stay stubborn and say you'll gladly wait. And boy, you will wait!! We waited over 90 minutes once.

But the people that pick up have no information regarding your case since they don't have access to it. Only a tier 2 can look into your specific case.

Call and insist on talking to a tier 2.. Good luck!

[John&Lena 17]

Going to call them back next monday, hopefully we'll get to a tier 2 then..

Thank y'all!

[John&Lena 17]

Oh right, is there anything specificly that we can ask that tier 2?
Some direct questions that will give us a clear answer?

Really, anything will help!

About the local congressman, how does that work exactly? I haven't heard that before..

[van1234essa 11]

Ask them what the matter with your case is. Tell them you're passed the 5 month mark and if they can tell you anything. If not say you wanna submit a service request. Hope this helps!

Our noa1 was February 4th and we just got approved on August 2nd. Try calling still!

[John&Lena 17]

Will try that, thank you!

I think I've heard that if you have a US phone number, there is a callback option, so you're not sitting there on hold with your phone glued to your ear for hours upon hours...

[John&Lena 17]

John's calling with google+ (or whatever it's called) for free, so I'm afraid that's not an option.
Thanks for the tip though!
