Thank you very much, I was quite shocked. I think that's the trick. Don't go online for a while. (Had no choice--no internet service where I am working out of town)

Heh! Well the real trick is to get your file on someone's desk. Don't suppose you'd want to share your secret?

I am going to be very forthcoming about my actions. I don't know whether any of this made any difference, you can draw your own conclusions.

Two weeks ago, I talked with my lawyer, and he said it's been long enough that he encouraged me to get congressional involvement. I then called my State Representative, who is somewhere between an acquaintance and a friend. He gave me a contact with my U.S. Senator. I called the Senator's office, and made a request for an inquiry. The staff person was very bureaucratic with me, took my name, my finacee's name, and our case number. She said she would email USCIS because they weren't answering their phones lately. I was a little disappointed, but was polite and said thank you for your help.

Then my lawyer had a meeting with USCIS at the local office in Des Moines, and he found out that our case was OK, that there was nothing amiss, but that I would have to wait at least another month or two for approval. This meeting was on Jan. 18.

After that, I was pi$$ed. I called the Senator's office back and asked them what they had found. They told me exactly the same story, that I would have to wait. I voiced my dissatisfaction with USCIS, that I had paid triple the filing fee and gotten worse service. But in the end, I said that was fine, I understood there was a backlog, and I was willing to wait my turn for approval. But I made a request that when approval came, that CSC send the file in a timely fashion to NVC, just like the VSC people get. The second time I called the staff were a lot more friendly and seemed more willing to help me.

In the meantime, we have gotten approval, 9 days after the initial congressional inquiry. I honestly don't know if our number was up anyway. The real truth will be told when we see how long it takes for NVC to get our file. I will be continuing to talk with my Senator's office.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Luky5, Mox, and Geico and everybody: I filled on 8/15 and seems like I am in the processing time frame. Should I call USCIS as well? I did call them couple of weeks ago. That's why, I am little hesitant to call again but I can barely wait any longer. What do you guys think?

Ok let me tell you, your new estemated time that based on all the comlicated issues that CSC was dealing with and all the rough time that we've been goin through..it should be the 5th of February (Tuesday) which will be totall of 174 days since filing and if you didn't get it by that time then you BETTER call and check!

Hi Lucky5, forgive my ignorance but have you been approved? I haven't seen all the prior post. Congratulation, if you have. Good luck for everybody?

I have a feeling that I will be approved this week or next week.

I'm not approved yet, but hopefully soon. We've sent our I-129F on Aug 21 and my estemated time previously was for your approval date. BTW, I didn't hear about any approvals for today!
