EAC********* 12/13/2007 I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

I got touched but it is probably from my phone call today to Vermont.....At least it does not say 6/5/2007 anymore......

My guess is that someone is actively working your case now. You finally got a hold of someone that admitted that you are outside of the processing goals and they have moved your file to the top of the pile, or have given it to someone who is still there working.

Hang in there darlin, I think this is a good sign.

Robert from your lips to God's ears.....thanks again for encouraging me to call them......Lora

I want to thank everyone for your warm congratulations. It is greatly appreciated.

If anyone is curious about how our approval transpired, we received our first touch at 4:00 yesterday afternoon and the approval was registered on the website around 9:00 last night. I received the CRIS email regarding the approval a few minutes after it was posted on the website. It was nice to see at least one thing working at USCIS the way it is supposed to.

As to how we feel, Bella said "Que?!" (What?!) followed by about 5 minutes of celebration. I'm not really sure what she said to tell the truth. She was taking care of her sick sister so she was sort of whispering, crying and shouting at the same time. I gathered she was happy. As for me, I keep getting emotional. For the first time this whole process is beginning to seem real. It is very hard to believe that Bella and the kids might be here by February.

I also feel very badly for all those who are still waiting from April, May and June. That is the one thing that diminshes my happiness today. I wish there was some way for me to help you get your approvals sooner. I did have one thought. I have noticed that no one ever asks to speak to a supervisor when they call customer service and get the run around or obviously bad information. I wonder what would happen if the petitioner politely but firmly demanded to speak to a supervisor, the supervisor's supervisor, etc. until they got some real answers. I have the sense that the first level of customer service whether they be pleasant or nasty is no help whatsoever. I would also suggest beginning each conversation by politely requesting the customer service rep's full name and ID# if they have one. That will put them on notice that there might be repercussions if they are not helpful.

I see one new June approval that I do not think has been reported. Nadia & Jason. Sent 6-10. NOA1 6-14. Approved 12-13. No RFE's shown on the timeline.

That makes 41 for the month and 12 for the week.

THIS is exactly how I feel

Somtimes I still can't believe we're actually approved! I keep checking the website to make sure that they haven't taken it back. This despite the fact that I have the hard copy NOA2 and confirmation from DOS that our case is with the London Embassy!

Bill,

I have asked to speak to a supervisor on two occassions when speaking with them. One time I was put on hold for about 20 minutes and the cust serv rep came back and said that all the supervisors were in a meeting and transferred me to an officer who was not even in Vermont. I think he was in Illinois, but I dont remember, and he didnt have any more info than the reps. the second time I got put on hold, waited for like 30-40 minutes and just hung up. And let me tell you, the first lady who said they were in a meeting brow beat me with "they cant do anything more for you than I can", "They have the same info as me", etc, and she said it more than a little rudely and seemed a bit ticked off. Of course, that was my intention. I was giving her hell because she told me that they were working on such and such date, and she hadnt realized that it was outside the 6 month goal. So I was giving it to her about why they didnt update the website, etc.

And no, I never told her my case number or entered it into the automated system

Bill,

I also wanted to add, and please correct me if I am wrong here, because you have been active here a lot longer than I have, but by my count there are only 4 K1 petitions still outstanding for April, and 13 K1 petitions outstanding for May.

Knowing that OsLoraTamm is still active here, I assume that the 13 petitions are still active and awaiting adjudication, at least hers is. But, my belief is that the 4 outstanding for April are probably abandoned, or people forgot to update if they are still active here. I cant recall any April filers speaking out in this thread in the recent past (because if I waited that long I would be POSTAL). But I havent been here for as long as you. What is your feeling on this?

And to any April filers: Please dont take offense that I dont know or remember you. If you are still here and the data is correct, just let me know!
