Well I have don't have any good news today, and I am pulling out my hair at this point. I just can't believe how long this is taking...I thought for sure my finace` would have been here and we would have been married by now. I am just so frustrated and don't know what to do. What is this "RFE Trick" that a few of you mentioned :help: , maybe I need to try this to check to see if anyone has even picked up my file.....because I have NOT had a touch on my portfolio.... :(

I guess I have to stay postive for me and my finace` but I know he is just over this whole process and is ready to be here so we can start our life together.

I must say though this site does give me hope because I am not the only one, and the stories of people getting approved comforts me because I know I will be next soon. :)

I filed early March and still haven't heard anything. I thought by my case being transferred to CSC that it would have been processed quicker. I burst my own bubble. :lol: This really sucks. I'm really fustrated. I want to call USCIS but I read in another thread that it is not good to keep calling them.

Re: RFE trick. call the USCIS and I believe that you press 4. A person will come on and ask them to check if you have an RFE. Some of them are nice and will give you some info.

Good luck everyone.

Does march of 2006 count in this mess?? We are still waiting after contacting several congressman and senators. Calling immigration. Got a lovely letter today telling me it could take years. Feel less anxiety knowing that we didnt lose your file and it hasnt been forgotten.
