We filed our I129F in January and recieved NOA1 on Feb 1st, and have heard not a thing since, do you suggest there has been some mistake or should we just keep waiting? Is anyone else still waiting from Jan/feb filers? We are being processed at CSC.Thanks for all your help and hope the wait is over soon!

From what I have seen, average time is 5 months... even on their website.... you are way past that.... I would give them a call and inquire on the case... I have done that in the past and it has worked.... they will put a request in the system and within 30 days you will get a response.... good luck and keep us posted...


I am guessing you have checked the case status online and nothing has been updated.... right?

Definitely follow-up. That seems like a very long time, especially considering how quickly CSC is processing right now. We got our NOA2 earlier this month after only 25 days, and I've seen a few get it in less than that. And the UK is a very low fraud country.

If you call USCIS you need to directly ask to talk to a tier 2 immigration officer. Tier 1 will just read you a scripted passage to get you off the line. You are outside of normal processing times so the tier 2 IO will put in a request for your case to be looked into, but don't stop there.

Your next contact should be with your local congress person. You should be able to e-mail them to tell them whats happening, but going to their office in person will get things moving much faster. Their immigration department should put in for a congressional inquiry to look into why you are so far out of normal processing targets. Don't just sit and wait in hope, be proactive.

Good luck good.gif

Be sure to always ask for the name and ID number of any and all Immigration officers that you speak to. You should also contact the DHS Ombudsman to assist you with your case. You can file electronic form 7001 from this website http://www.dhs.gov/ombudsman-case-assistance

Just called the USCIS, they said that our case was transferred to another office but we are still over-do the 5 month time period.

So he took some info and put in a request,I got a reference number and said if I don't hear back in 15 days I should call back.

Fingers still crossed. sleepy.gif

I filed to VSC in February 2013. Got the approval 9/30/13 after 8 months. 8 months of hell that was. We had an RFE though and got xfered to TCS in the middle too.

They took exactly 60 days to deal with our RFE.

After 20 days of sending our RFE i put in a service request, and they said approval was being held up bc of a security/background check.
