Congratulations!  Feels good to hear some people who were before me actually get their CCs...  It does not feel good thinking you're the oldest case and something has happened to it... Congrats again!

The NVC says they process cases in the order they receive them but we all know that's a lie.  It's a tough road, but hang in there!! 

 

Also, thank you.

Scan date 11/28, no news yet. 12 weeks ends on Monday next week.

Can anyone please shed some light on what " scan date " is?  Is this the day that NVC rep comfirmed they recieved my mailed AOS/Evidence packet? Thanks

@Ahmed & Amy I also had a similar problem with my congressman when trying to request an expedite at USCIS stage. I tried to enlist his help & his liaison told me that "there's nothing much she can do, but will try" & then started telling me stories that "with these things, it can take a long time, even years & years. If they're not in a good mood, they can just throw your file away & not look at it. So can't give you a time frame"

 

Luckily my USCIS file was completed in a relatively good time, about 5 months & 2 weeks total, but I've given up on my congressman at that point itself. Am now considering enlisting my senators' help. 1 of them already has a disclaimer on their site, but let's see what they can do!

I had issues at the USCIS stage. I could have had my petition approved at about 5 months, if they didn't jerk around about whether they 'ordered' or 'sent' my RFE. Took two more months to clear up that mess, so a total of 7 months at USCIS, which would have been longer if I didn't seek the help of my senator. The congressman was useless in my case, so for anything in the future, I'll go back to my senator.

Yes that's correct. It's the date they received all your supporting documents, AOS/IV package.

I called again - I figured if I'm frustrated, might as well frustrate some of them some more.  

 

Call started nice, I ended up asking the same battery of questions.  Asked for a supervisor, shockingly there was none available, then asked my closing question:

 

"what's causing the backlog of mail?"

"well sir, the holidays combined with having a new president"

"The holidays and a new president?  You've had my mail originally since September, long before the elections or holidays, what do either of those have to do with it?"

"well sir, the backlog starts before the holidays because everyone wants to have their family here for the holidays.  Happens every year"
"Makes sense I guess.  What does the new president have to do with it, is it a new regulation or new executive order I haven't heard about?"
"well sir, no, not really, no new regulation..."

"Does he inspire people to go out there and get married? or what did you mean by the new president having an impact on this?"

"well not, no, it wouldn't"

"Ok, let's change subjects, next question, now that my 6 weeks of supervisor review are up soon, what is the next step?"
"well sir, we're gonna escalate it to a supervisor (pause realizing how stupid that sounds) errrr supervisor's supervisor" (cautiously realizing he's gonna get called out on his BS)

"Oh, ok.  I imagine that will take 6 weeks as well, like everything before.  How many levels of supervisors are there that I have to go through?"

"well sir, I don't think you have to worry, I understand your frustration and this should have been done by now, but I do believe this will be done soon as it is in the review department getting reviewed right now"

"I've been told that for over a month now... "

"mmm, yes, I see that... well I do believe it will be soon"

"I've started this process over a year ago, what's your definition of soon?"

"I can't give you any more details sir..."

 

 

The backpedaling on blaming the president part was spectacular.  I should have played along and blame Trump instead of asking for details...  These people will make up anything to try and save face, and it's disgusting.  I'd much rather have someone honest go "look, they're playing Pokemon GO over there and not looking at a damn thing, so that's why we don't know when this stuff will get done... ".  I need to start a database of how many of these "alternative facts" I've been given so far, but I just don't feel like going through and re-listening to every call, as it would drive me bonkers.

Called NVC, lost my mind and my temper and cursed out the rep when he told me that though my documents had been submitted December 13 and AOS and IV bills had been paid, due to system error they had only been tracking my packet since January 19 and that's when the clock started for our packet. I cursed him clean out and hung up I was so mad. We have been dealing with immigration since 2013. I'm so frustrated and wore out with this process not to mention I will deploy for a year by the time my spouse arrives fooling with NVC. I hope these senators light a fire under NVC. . .
