They already got their funding when we all paid the filing fee. They better get their butts in gear. Every single person on VJ should be calling to complain ... just my opinion

It's been 168 days, no news heard yet except on my name correction on 27th of August- a typo error made by USCIS itself, other than that no more updates.

Hey guys, I am an April 2013 filers who is sick of the wait, I understand what each of you are going through. The wait is a horrific heartache. I suggest we all contact the USCIS Ombudsman Liaison simultaneoulsy at: OLUInquiries@dhs.gov

I just sent the following to the Ombudsman. Be sure to read through and change how long my petition has been pending to match yours. I will post this letter in the Feb, Mar filers for them to send similar letter and we should all submit at the same time. Perhaps they will pay attention if we fill the mailbox with this.

Subject: Assistance with I-130 Petition at the USCIS National Benefits Center

Dear OLU,

The purpose of this email is to inquire about an I-130 petition I filed at the USCIS National Benefits Center (NBC) in Lee’s Summit Missouri to reunite with my wife.

The receipt number: MSCxxxxxxxxxx

This petition has been pending for over 5 months (USCIS processing goal according to its website) as of September 3 2013 and I have yet to be notified by the NBC on a decision.

I have called the USCIS toll-free number multiple times to inquire about the status of my petition and was on those occasions able to talk to various Tier 2 Officers who provided conflicting information about the processing time – some said 5 months, others 6 months, and so on….

Some petitioners whose priority date is after mine have received a decision from NBC and others prior to mine are still waiting. It seems as if petitions are RANDOMLY processed.

USCIS, in order to satisfy its customers should STANDARDIZE the process for FAIRNESS as every family is equally important and provide CONSISTENT information upon customer's request or inquiry.

The wait is tedious and I seek your attention into my case with NBC.

Regards

Your name
Your Address

Phone: (xxx) xxx-xxxx

The question I have is, if we make congressional inquiry, does it end up putting us at the back of the line.....

[Joaozinho 15]

It doesn't put you in the back. If anything, it adds your name to a list because your congressman will check every few months depending on how much they want to help you. One of my senators actually forwarded me the email from the USCIS congressional department and it's a whole other group of people there with a little more access than a Tier-2. The least this can do it put the office on notice that they will be bothered constantly until they just adjudicate it.

Hello!! I was just wondering if anybody who filed in March has gotten approved yet? I filed for my husband and it got sent to the National Benefits Center (MSC)

I'm just trying to get an idea of when to expect something

ALL MARCH FILERS SHOULD LEAVE A NOTE HERE TO HELP EACH OTHER

HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY!!!!

There is already a thread for this specifically.

[GoLdEnSkY99 54]

Just sent a letter to my senator, I don't know if it will be any help or not.

I wrote my congressman a few weeks back, and called them last week. Still haven't heard anything. *sigh*

[lucybelle 453]

Only March filers with extenuating circumstances (filed from abroad, expedites, etc) have been approved so far. At least as far as I can tell.

[stlMac 16]

Same here. I sent email to my congresswoman and senator. Never heard anything from Senators office. I wonder if they are in hiding mode knowing that USCIS is not working.

[Hollyday 122]

My husband called USCIS today. First of all, Tier 1 refused to put him through to Tier 2, saying that the processing time is 7-9 months now and he can't do that till it's at least 7 months. And then he informed him that our petition was sent to a centralized location. I mean, seriously, come on! People whose petitions were sent to a 'centralized location' had it written in NOA1 in May! They really don't know anything there and i think i believe they just read off some script without stopping to think once. Geez. He'll try calling again tomorrow.
