I just called USCIS - told them that I tried to do a request online & didn't let me even though my application is 5 months & 2 days.

They told me that it depends on the number of applications before you to determine the processing time. So I asked, what is the processing time for my application? "I do not have that information."

So I thanked her for letting me know that I have to wait indefinitely :) Great customer service!

I called and talked to a Tier 1 officer. I was told the Dec 3rd script all over again and asked to talk to a Tier 2. I put in a call back number and just get off the phone with him. He put in a service request for me and told me that after 2-3 weeks I should see an email from TSC. I'm 5 months 2 weeks in.

2 weeks ago I did the same and was told to call back because apparently, 5 months 1 day is still within the processing time. Try again today without much hope but I guess, it's my lucky day today.

Yeah... That's why I decided to contact my local representative and senator. :( The lack of information wasn't helpful!

Bah!

Well we got the lucky email and txt today as our visa was finally approved by TSC. Our NOA1 was on June 17. I put in a E-Request in back on the 22nd, and I emailed my senator on the 25th.I am not sure what did it but I wanted to give you some hope that this long nightmare is almost over. Good luck to everyone and just hang in there it will be over soon.

Congrats!

Thanks. I did put in an e-request last week, but took someone's advice to just put December 2013 as the receive date. My e-request was accepted, and I got back a response saying I should get a status update by middle of July. Instead of getting that update, I received the NOA2. I wonder if I will still get some response back about the e-request.

I must confess, I did that exact thing today. They issued an service request number and sent an email to acknowledge receipt.

Will now wait and see as I am 5 months + 1 day today.
