Hi my fellow October filers we are at 180 days today and no answer yet.  We received our NOA1 on Oct 24 2017 and praying that we get our approval soon.  We are also pregnant, so now we have another wonderful reason to be together. So We are hopeful to get our response soon..🙏🙏

Those who are still waiting it's alright! We made it this far. We can make it to the end. We are almost there. 

Day 192 but going strong with a few tantrums along the way.

You can call tomorrow and ask. But you will get a pretty vague answer. And they will tell you that you're within normal processing time and just have to wait. Try to ask if your case is pending security checks. Or if they can tell you that it's with an adjudicator. If it's with an adjudicator then that means that it will get processed hopefully within the time limit.

They will say you shouldn't call until the 7 month mark.  But honestly, calling doesn't really do anything except maybe make you feel like you're doing something.  Calling isn't going to make any happen any faster unfortunately.  Even if they open a service request, there have been times when that actually makes things even slower.

True but at least it makes us feel useful lol 

And absolutely I am not doing a service request if anything it gets to that point I am going to get my local congressman or state senator involved.

Yup they can! Just call them and tell whoever picks up to help you out with this matter. They will ask you to write a detailed email. After you send them an email make sure you call right away to let them know. If possible specifically request to meet the congressman or senator.

They usually go by the same rules as USCIS. They won't do much or get a different response from USCIS than you would get unless you're outside of "normal processing times."
