Jim&Gemz,

I hope if anyone gets an approval, its you and jlcross ! I would gladly give up my place in line if it meant you getting your NOA-2. Trust me, I know what your wait time has been like. It happened to me last year. It isn't very pretty.(F)

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Thanks for the well wishes! I wouldn't want anyone to give up a place in the queue, but it means a lot that you feel that way.

Have you tried contacting your member of congress or senator? That's an unduly long wait. Average time should be 2.9 months. Call and don't let them wiggle out of helping you by citing that USCIS processing times website. Tell them you know better, you've done your homework, you know how it works, and you need. help. now.!

Go get 'em.

Yep, been there, done that. USCIS responded to my congressman with "we'll deliver a decision on this case between 10 and 30 days" and that was the last week of March. Still doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence it'll be adjudicated soon. It did not say "work" days which I know the goverment is famous for pointing out when you're waiting on action from them. 30 working days will take the case well into May.

Thanks, I appreciate the sentiment. I've quit waiting for the NOA2, now's I'm just waiting for the 6-month mark so I can call and, hopefully, get more than a canned answer.

Well jlcross, I wonder if our cases are stuck together in the same "I don't feel like workin this case today" bin. I have been watching the USCIS web site that shows what month CSC is working on because it usually gets updated around the 17th of each month. It's still sitting at 13 September right now. I have a feeling that if you try to call them before that "Cases currently being worked" date is beyond your NOA1 date, you're going to get a canned, scripted, typical answer and I don't think I need to repeat it, you know what it is.

I wonder how they'd handle it if a few thousand petitioners showed up at their front door one day and surrounded the building and started shouting for some action! BAH! Bad idea now that I think about it. Then they'd be standing by the windows looking at us instead of approving cases.

Don't be obsessed with checking the USCIS site. It will usually get touched when the service center gets it and then nothing until approval.

I got my approval today for my I 129f! My last touch was Jan 30.
