So, I just sent an email to both of my U.S. State Senators just now regarding the status of my case because I'm 204 days in waiting in I really don't see an end to this any time soon. In fact, I'm starting to feel like I won't receive anything until 2018.

 

I'm sure I just wasted my time emailing both Senators' offices as I'm sure they will get the same response that I get once-twice a week which is my case is within normal processing times. But considering in 6 days, I will be 7 months waiting for my NOA2 if I don't get it between now and then (yeah, right), I figured let's see what response they will get.

 

Most likely though I wasted my time.

Im May 22nd too, somehow when I was on 170th day my inquiry went through but trust me no use.All they said month ago is tha they are currently processing our case.I think all of us that are left are just a matter of the day cause we are all probably just pending background check.But it's still hard when I see people even from July getting approved and we are taking this long,and I'm just gonna punch someone if I hear one more be patient ugh.

It takes them awhile to assign a case officer anyway, so you might as well go ahead and file.

I just turned in my inquiry to my congressman's office. I submitted it in person, and the receptionist gave me the business card for the person who'll be handling my case. The case officer (not sure if that's the correct title or not) emailed me an hour later confirming my fiance's name, and saying she would contact NVC and USCIS for me. Not sure if it will help or not, but in the past (2012-2014) when there's been significant delays, people have had luck using their congressman's office for help. Fingers crossed.

So what, did they tell you that you're "within" normal processing time? This is ridiculous...They really like to leave unfinished work don't they?

This is pathetic and unbelievable that they're STILL saying that to people that have been waiting nearly 7 months...I'd keep annoying them every day if I were you honestly they deserve it...

I understand...Having to call them sucks too...Have you tried contacting an Ombudsman? We actually contacted an Ombudsman and representative a few days before we got approved. I'm not sure if contacting them helped or anything but I guess it was worth a try.

I can't contact them until my case is outside of processing times.

Well technically our case wasn't outside of processing times either but we did get a confirmation letter from the Ombudsman and a call from the rep.

I have just called and they didn't receive my app. Although I found a very nice worker that told me what to do, to email asknvc@state.gov and add a copy and some data about my NOA2. I have told him that I have already done that and he said "Do it again, do not worry, I will see" (IDK maybe he is with the email).

Fingers crossed! IM NEXT IN LINE! ---> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k57PdywNRpUqytomJxMzz6_7DsMqpi52DgnaYt9FyC8/edit#gid=2061710905
