If you are outside the 5 month processing time then I see no reason to contact them and ask what the deal is. It should have been approved by now

Well, my fiance will call them tomorrow, depending they will say him, we will try to do

The most convenient for us.

It's unbelievable but, we sent the form I-129 with all the documents required,

Proof of our relationship by around 4 years, proof about our daugther and her citizenship.

I am outraged :(

"equal protection under the law", but history has shown that some are "more equal than others".

Only the noisy livestock have a chance of getting what they demand, no matter what the law says ... the rest the farmers will just ignore as happy sheep.

Always FIGHT for what you want!

You're fiance won't get much traction trying to talk to USCIS support at this point. If your fiance is in Texas, have them write a letter to Ted Cruz's constituent services office explaining the situation, including the privacy release form. http://www.cruz.senate.gov/?p=agency_assistance

It seems Senatorial requests is the only thing the director at TSC pays attention to.

... and provide them with the TSC contact info contained herein: http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/88027.pdf

... and then call them a week after you mail them asking if and HOW they have tried contacting TSC.

Thanks for the information but, my fiance lives in Massachusetts.

we are willing to wait until mid-June. if we did not get a response, then we will do what is right.

Hi Alexa,

I am in MA, my fiance in DR and we filed in late October and received our NOA2 4/30. I think they must sort applications by beneficiary's country and the petitioner's state. The MA/DR combo seems to be very slow. There is another user here and we have very similar timelines. She's from MA too. Anyway, I would call USCIS all the time and they just kept saying we had to wait, there was a severe backlog and they were saying it was taking 6 months instead of the typical 5. Fill out the service request ASAP. It's just an online inquiry in to why it's taking so long. Or have your fiance ask to submit a service request since it is out of the normal processing time frame. I also contacted Congressman Lynch. The woman I spoke with at his office was very very helpful. I was approved the day after I spoke with her, so she didn't even get a chance to contact them about my case before I was approved. But I am sure she would have helped if there was anything she could have done. You are past the processing time, don't let them take their time. Here is the release form he will need to fill out, good luck, and don't fall behind by just waiting! https://lynch.house.gov/serving-you/help-federal-agency. Remember, you don't waste anything by doing the things mentioned here.

many thanks for your valuable information. I appreciate it and I'm glad to hear that not only I have waited more than 6 months. you think that I can make an application for review online? because I am the beneficiary and my fiance does not have time for his work.

I appreciate your advice, thank you!

Definitely fill out the USCIS e-request on his behalf. It should only take about 5 minutes. You will recieve an email and it will tell you the deadline for them to reply to the email. That doesn't mean that you will have a decision by that time. If you need any help feel free to message me!

If you look at the November spreadsheet there are still a number of TSC applications waiting for approval. You are not alone.

As suggested, you should put in an electronic service request. 6 months is really the target date for a service request (5 months processing time plus the 30 day "waiting period")

The November spreadsheet is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aqgp_fafY_R6dFI3cDREc2tNWV9qV09mMzN3WXR2dEE&usp=sharing#gid=3

You can see TSC is only 57% complete for November.
