260 days here.... seems the middle east and the caribbean are low priority.  Is an e-inquiry the same as a service request?

recently received a email from USCIS on March 3rd after a service request was filed on February 2nd due to outside normal processing time.(PD July 1st)

 

email states... "additional review needed, case with an adjudicating officer will receive a decision or notice of further action within 60 days."

 

question.  does this mean 60 days from Feb. 2nd or from March 3rd?  just trying to plan the rest of my year.

It depends on your country... some have longer waits than others. Countries on the visa waiver program (VWP) are usually a bit faster because they don't have as many people needing to be scheduled for tourist visas, etc. 

 

That being said, if you just got a CC, you will likely be scheduled in May (April dates are mostly taken) -- but its possible you could still get a late April date depending on your embassy. Sit tight, you are almost there!! :)
