ello all , new to the site. My wife and daughter are in Italy and I am in Maryland. We filed form I-130 and it was received August 19th 2014 with the Vermont offices. Now it's january 2015 and they are processing forms for May 2013 , this is ridiculous. :protest:
I am also in the process of becoming a U.S. citizen , they received my N-400 October 27th 2014 and I have not received an interview date yet. I have called numerous times and they only say to wait longer. Today I called and the Baltimore offices are delayed 182 days -_-. I am in the process of writing the president , the senator and the representative just because I cannot sit here with my hands tied and continue to tell my wife to be patient :clock:. Does anyone know the email address where I can send a copy of my citizenship whenever I get that ? I will also send one certified mail. Does anyone know how long they take to update the petition from F2A to IR1? I know the processing times for different offices in different states vary but I'm assuming the entire country is backed up. I checked the fb page for VJ and people leave their stories there but hardly anyone comments. I would appreciate any advice , comment , suggestion from anyone :thumbs: . I know how hard it is for all of us to be far away from our loved ones and just because the government can not hire more people to help with the work to bring the processing times to actual time instead of being backed up we continue to suffer on a daily basis :cry:.

Thanks all

Chris and Nina

If the case is still sitting at VSC then you just need to call them to get your petition upgrade and it will take around a week @uscis as per friend experience.
