Nothing....I thought a touch yesterday after two weeks of silence would mean something.

How long would you wait before pulling the congressman card? It wouldn't be such a biggie for me since both my bosses know him and I work for two federally funded programs that are his babies, but I don't want to go there just because my NOA2 is taking a bit longer than everyone else's because I might truly need his help later.

His local office is two blocks from my apartment so when he's local, I may just plant my tushy outside his office.

Not sure how it happened... but our petition was approved on the 28th and did just get the hard copy NOA2 in the mail today. WOOHOO!!! Still in shock, but so excited. Just brings us one big step closer together... and let the waiting continue. :)

That's great!

Congrats on the approval.

Before calling your congressperson, call the USCIS to get an update on your petition. If your not getting anywhere with that, then call your congressperson.

The way I understood it is that you should wait until after the times your service center list as the current processing date (I think VSC is August right now???)

There is a bunch of information about calling your congressperson on HUSKERKIEV's thread (former uscis adjudicator....)

Good Luck

From what I understand, the USCIS phone service has the same information that the online system has...and that many people do not have any luck beyond hearing, "we have record of receiving your case and it's pending."

I called to listen to the automated system yesterday and within minutes after I was touched for the first time in weeks....hmmm.

I'm now thinking that going through VSC is not necessarily a blessing, and my fiance is getting discouraged, but he is an awfully impatient fellow. After seven years in this relationship, it's hard to believe how agonizingly slow the last 30 have gone!

Safitu, how do you get to a live person???? at VSC????

Is it by dialing the general USCIS number? I can definitely do the polite and thanking part, but dunno about the calm!
