Response to [ INQUIRY #2] today:

 

"Thank you for your inquiry. We recognize your interest in the final adjudication of your pending application/petition and are aware of the difficulties caused by any delay in processing. We regret we are not able to give you a timeframe for when we will be able to review your case but the California Service Center is committed to processing this workload."-uscis

 

9 months w/multiple inquires and now they don't want to even give a timeframe.

I'm not trying to be "cute" here, but you are just chasing your tail. You won't get a date/timeline with an email nor a phone call. USCIS doesn't know when they will complete the processing. You need to switch tactics. Here are two that I find garner a little more information, but it takes an effort on your part.

 

 

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"

Yeah its just tiring. Option 1 we did. Option 2 is something we haven't approached. We will give it a try.  We do appreciate the info thank you Greenbaum
