Yes! Be hopeful and keep calling. If the rep tells you no supervisor is available, ask for a supervisor callback. And then also ask when supervisors will be available. I have had reps tell me they are in a meeting and should be available after an hour. I feel like sometimes you just have to be lucky...

It was for my father's Taiwanese birth certificate. I sent the household registration in but they said they also need birth certificate... 

wow, u definitely need to talk to the supervisor

if ur father was born long ago the system, the household registration may be the only document.

I noticed the other couple had same issue

talk to supervisor, explain the situation, hope they can accept it

good luck!

It's so hard sometimes thinking about the fact that someone holds my future in their hands.  I am married and am forced to live apart from my husband.  I can't think about it too long because I start to feel helpless and weak and I am trying to remain strong here.  I just hate that for them it's just 6-8 more weeks but to us that feels like an enternity.  They can go home to their spouse I am pretty sure yet I have to sleep along.  It just feels so unjust and unfair.  This is my family!!!  Sorry for the rant, but I just feel like a number on someone's desk at this point and it is really getting to me.  How can you torture families like this? I understand there being a process but having to wait months and months, really with no really accountability when it comes to timing!?!? I have missed so many birthday parties and special moments because of this process and I hate it!! It like they don't care!! Sorry you all I know that others probably feel similar.  

i definitely feel you. we are about to have our wedding anniversary, birthdays apart (aside from other important events that passed),

 after waiting up to 8 weeks, and when you called they haven't started reviewing it, and you will be needing to wait another 6 weeks ,, 

 

unfortunately, all we have to do is follow up, and wait.

I agree with you it isn't fair also how they say "up to 8 weeks" when this is our 16th week waiting already and no answers!! We have to stay positive and have hope during this long and frustrating process because once it is over we don't have to do this again ??

 in this journey, it helps a lot to have VJ'ers to give us moral support and advices.

 

it's  frustrating indeed.

Congrats too everyone on their cc and interview dates! I'm writing just to see if there is anyone else who has been waiting as long as us? This is getting very frustrating our scan date was November 22 (week 16 now and counting) and our 2nd scan is January 5...I get very hopeful seeing others with January scan dates and cc I just really want some answers already it really isn't fair what they put us through...

have you tried asking for help with the congressman or senate representative?

i am thinking of doing it, i read it from some comment

My scan date was Nov 15. I reached a supervisor on March 6, and she said she emailed the review department, then a week later, I got a checklist..... :( I think if you speak to a supervisor, it does help speed up the process. Keep calling and ask for supervisors!

try to ask for a senate or congressman's help, i read from comments that after few days they get feedback,

 

that is what's sad after waiting so long, they will give checklist, and then another weeks of waiting.

 

i am wishing you best of luck
