So we are 5 days out of the estimated processing time established on the USCIS website (which I know isn't as long as others may have been waiting). But this has been 7+ months and we still have nothing. I submitted the case inquiry already but I have to wait until August 19th now! My question is, is there anything I can do to be more proactive? I've been seeing people call tier 2 agents? Who are these agents and is it effective to call or wait? I don't want to piss off the people that basically have my future in their hands.

Don't worry about upsetting any phone workers...so long as you are polite, there's nothing wrong with asking about your case.

 

That said, there's not much to do after submitting the inquiry. You can contact a congressperson for an inquiry as well, but they can't really do anything about it.

I just talked to my someone at my congressperson's office since I'm coming up on 7 months since filing next week.  I had to send them privacy forms to allow them to look at my case.  They just told me that the inquiry may take 30 business days, which is 6 weeks!  I can only hope that something happens on our case before that.
