Wow im so so sorry! Ugh god I was really hoping you would be over that security hump already 😔 Im just happy you did do all you can do - you checked off all the needed basics checklist to file the lawsuit.

It would be wonderful though if you can atleast get a RFE or Approval a month from now, when you plan to file instead.

Im trying to sprinkle some hope & positivity only because there is this 1 month gap from now until then, and no one really knows the actuality of how long background checks -> adjudication it really takes.  I pray you are near the end of checks and the adjudication is rapid. Alot can happen in a month, I hope you dont have to put in any more effort than you already have!

Helloo 👋 I personally contacted my Senator. Some people on here suggest to contact either your local senate or congress, not both. The first Senator I chose to write never responded. ( I waited about a week or so for a response) Then I tried my second State Senator. Within a couple of days of writing her, her office responded to me.

Go here https://www.senate.gov/index.htm

on the top right corner click on the drop down “Find Your Senators”. Select your State. A new page will open with your States two Senators. Beside their name usually has their contact information or go to each Senators main personal website and in there they have more depth information on how to contact and sometimes specifically an immigration category. Best of luck!!

Hey guys! We still don’t receive any answers from USCIS. WE sent RFE August 4, they texted that docs were received by officer August 17 and after that just silent.. we called them and the man said wait until October 17 and still nothing.. my fiancée tried to call them few times and was on the line for 2 hours before call was canceled.. we don’t know what to do??? I am sad..

Hey!!!! Yesterday finally we got approved.. thanks God! I really appreciate everybody who helped to go through this.. waiting for a hard copy! 

But some people gave me advice that my f should go to USCIS local office in our city, and we did.. one guy there told that he would send a request and after that nothing changed, and my f went there again and talked with another officer, who really helped us.. we think so because the next day we got approved.. we called him and he said that he sent our docs (copied our rfe and sent directly) again and sent request. I hope that you will get it soon too! Try to do the same way!  

Thanks everyone !!!!!

this is crazy! i was trying to convince myself that all this hold time was cuz our lovely government was waiting for the elections to be over to see who takes over and how that would play on the changes of certain policies, but we are STILL waiting! Monday will be over our 60 days of waiting for our RFE and I can't get anyone to tell us anything. this is quite frustration just sitting in a dark whole....waiting almost a YEAR for a K1?! really government 😣

You might try both options below.

 

First try submitting an inquiry using this link from the Ombudsman; submit your request online.  If you have already submitted online but did not receive a confirmation email with your case number, the submission did not go through.  Please try again. 

 

If you have not submitted Form DHS-7001, Case Assistance Form, online or made other arrangements with our office to file on paper, we will not respond to any emails.

 

The Office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman

U.S. Department of Homeland Security

Washington, DC 20528-0180

Email: cisombudsman@hq.dhs.gov

Web: www.dhs.gov/cisombudsman

 

Second try your U.S. representative's contact information can be found in this handy directory, and your U.S. senator's information is in this one.

 

If you receive a response and it contains anyone of these sentences this will be the meaning of that phrase.

 

If the CSC response is due to a congressional case worker inquiry, the service center will say "security checks"

 

If the CSC response is from a regular service inquiry from their website, the service center will say "adjudication"
