Be aware this may backfire. I would suggest check with an attorney first

It could be, who knows...

I did check with my attorney before doing it, she thought it could be helpful.

You can read through USCIS former adjudicator Q&A at https://www.visajourney.com/content/adjudicator-q-and-a/

Search for "congressional inquiry". Getting the house representatives or senators involved can be an appropriate action for cases that are overdue.

Have you received approval mail already?

I have not received it yet. It takes a week for post to get to India from the USCIS vermont office (thats how long it took for the receipt to get to me).

Hi I confirmed that DOS received my documents for J1 waiver on Sept. 6 from the fedex tracking. I called emabassy and they confirmed they sent NOC to DOS at Sept. 6. I received my copy of NOC after Sept. 20 from the embassy. However the DOS was not updating their website, so I email them 10 days ago and today they replied they didn't receive NOC yet. I contacted embassy and they said they will fax it again. My question is that ok if embassy fax it to DOS or they need to mail it using a tracking system? Any suggestions would be helpful. TIA.

DoS advice you should wait at least a month before checking. I guess a month from Sept 6 is still a couple of days away.

Thats not the concern. DOS reply back my email and said they didn't received the NOC from my embassy yet, thats why they are not updating the case. Although embassy sent it on Sept. 6. So my question is can my embassy fax the NOC to DOS?

That also confirms my initial comment. When I sent my application in August. It arrived in Missouri on the 6th, DoS cashed the check on the 7th. Embassy sent NOC electronically on August 7th. The first update came on August 27th without my NOC despite being sent on August 7th. I believe before they update your NOC, they will update your application 1st.

My NOC was updated on August 28 a day after.

Give a week more before you panic.

Hey guys. Has anyone got any new notice recently. It's like everything just went silent at DoS. My document status has been updated since August 28 and nothing has changed since then.

 

Any news of the latest trend.

My last update was September 24 with a fav recommendation. I still didn’t receive a USCIS receipt for the waiver.

I tried calling USCIS to get my receipt number, and the attendant asked me to wait in line, and went silent for one full hour, at which point I hung up the call... 

I will try calling USCIS again this week
