NO. I havent even been approved yet. my spouse petitioned for me in october. A receipt number was just sent so that we can be checking the status. he has been calling USCIS. They keep telling us to be patient, as it is a process.But it has lingered on for far too long and i am getting worried.

I'm so sorry, that is completely unacceptable. Was your spouse able to talk to a tier 2 supervisor? You should be able to submit an inquiry based on "outside of normal processing time"...and then I believe it takes them 30 days to email a response...and hopefully that will push it along & get your file in front of an adjudicator. Wish you all the best!
