Any may filers still waiting?

There are a few...I just wanted to "stop" by to see how things are going.

Good luck!

Any may filers still waiting?

Yes. Still. Bloody. Waiting.

Was sent an RFE in January for a full medical. Had a new one completed and sent it out to CSC a few weeks ago. Still no update online or by phone - the USCIS website case update thing still says they're waiting to get the medical. The only reason I know it actually arrived and wasn't misplaced a second time is because I got delivery confirmation through USPS. Managed to get a customer service person on the phone a few days ago. Utterly useless - she said if we hadn't heard anything in 60 days to call back. Ugh.

I know there are others who have been waiting a lot longer than we have. I keep trying to keep everything in perspective. But, geeez. I don't come on VJ that often because I'm depressed I'm one of the last May filers to still be waiting.

Good luck to the others still waiting.

Just dropping by to let any may filers know that I am still waiting and have written to my congressman to find out what is going on. I have tried to find out twice on the phone what is going on but basically, found out nothing. I can't make an infopass appointment either because I just cannot get there any time soon, my husband works and already has to take time off work to get me to my OB/GYN appointments for the pregnancy and I don't have my car or license here yet.

I hope to hear something soon.

Have a great Easter everyone!!!

Hey Winterr. Hang in there girl. I really appreciated your messages. I took your advice and wrote my congressman last week also. We had been waiting to hear whether or not the CSC had received the response from our RFE for a medical. I'm not even sure if our congressman looked into the situation or not. It could be a pure coincidence that we received an email udpate from USCIS yesterday saying that they did receive the new medical and case processing has resumed. I looked again this morning and see we've been touched again. We're praying we're close.

I've got you in my thoughts. Good luck.

Hey MayLeo,

I have heard that when people write to their congressman that they usually see touches all of a sudden. I got a letter from my congressman today saying that he has contacted the appropriate officials at USCIS to express his interest in my behalf and that he will be in touch with me as soon as he receives a response.

So we'll see what happens.

That's great about you getting some updates there!! It's about bloody time too.

You are welcome always.

Hey there fellow May filers! Hang in there Winter and MayLeo! Sucks to still be waiting for your green cards I am sure, but at least at this stage you are together, which is better than the K-1 wait apart! Hopefully you both get some great help from your respective congress persons!

Things are well here for us, heading rapidly towards a few significant dates, March 6th J will have been here for a year, and of course the really big day, March 14th our first Anniversary! Woo hoo!

Thanks Ready4one. Since contacting my congressman, I have received 2 touches. Will this mean a GC? I don't know, but it's good to know that someone has actually picked up or touched something to do with me and my daughter! I am hoping that it's good news and not bad news when my congressman contacts me again.

hi I have been reading this post for a while. It seems there are some poeple got their GC really fast and some are forever..... My friend file in May as well and got his in Sept 2007. and another friend filed in April 2007 and got GC in Oct 2007 too.

Unfortunately, I am the latter one. I filed my AOS on May 4th, Finger printed on May 30th, got transferred to CSC on June 6th......Since then nothing updated to her case. Its really a stressful waiting.

I just called USCIS today (again) to try to pull out my case since I believe it is out of the processing time. (it's more than 180 days from both Receipt date and Transfer date). The Rep said since it was transferred, I have to make an appointment with the local office through Infopass for this request. As of today, New York City process time for AOS is May 14, 2007. This date has passed my case receipt date but not yet the transferred date. I dont know if I should make an appointment now or wait for a month until NYC process time pass my transfer date or any better solution.

I'm really starting to wonder if theyve been using our applications as a coaster or to prop up a desk. I regret not filing for AP, its been almost a year since we've been to visit back home, and soon enough i'll have to apply for another EAD =/

hi Amanda-Lisa and Winterr,

I am in the same situation as you, sigh....

Amanda-Lisa, actually we both sent our AOS on the same day...May 4th, also got Biometrics on same day....May 30th. what a coincidence.

I havent had any update to my case since the EAD approval notice in August....I registered in USCIS in October but never received any email update.

Now, I am really regreted not to apply the AP with AOS (before the fee raised). I didnt expect the GC to take that long and still waiting.... We cant go anywhere outside of US, not even Canada or Caribbeans for vacation.

In a few months, probably May 2008, I will have to renew the EAD expiring in August 2008.

and Remove Condition 2 years from receiving the temporary GC, which we havent gotten yet.

its painful..........

I am wondering what I can do to make them at least touch my case. Its good that your cases were touched in recent months. Perhaps writing to the congressman can help.
