I know how you all feel. It's only 4 months for me on Friday and the wait goes on and on and on. Still, my only saving grace is that I am using a US immigration attorney so I will be emailing her at roughly 135 days requesting an 'expedite' be submitted at the 5 month and 1 day mark.

I paid her enough so may now need to call on her to earn her crust.

Fingers crossed for all of you....................

Just curious, on what basis will you be requesting an expedite? I've never seen one from the UK go through before.

It's based on a conversation with the attorney back in January. The attorney said she would be able to push things through but would have to wait for the published processing time to lapse. I'm not sure of her plan but any assistance can only be positive.

I think they just say those things as a ploy, they can't actually do anything to make your case go faster.

Yeah, sorry but she's lying. The criteria for expediting is quite strict (think severe financial hardship, like the typhoon in the Philippines).

She can phone like the rest of us after 5 months, but that's it, she won't be able to push anything through.

I just called my attorney and challenged her on this and it turns out she has a relative working for the TSC.

So as said previously...we will see.... :thumbs:

Hopefully we'll all get it soon. I called our congressman's office and asked for them to inquire (and submitted a similar request in writing.) I took aim at the backlog and the fact that they are shifting resources elsewhere. We'll see how it goes. But, we hit our 4 month mark in about 30 minutes.

We're 15 days away from our 5th month. Should I contact our local congressman? I'm not sure if they can make any difference to this process. Is it really helpful?

Thanks,
