Lets start a place for all of us who are waiting more then 6 months now.

Just a funny (NOT) bit of information I got today.

When I got the mail I saw an envelope from USCIS!!!!

YESYESYES!!!! My Heart stopped beating, I stopped breathing while I opened it.

And Guess what it was????

I called the 1-800 number 2 weeks ago asking for advice on how to find out whats going on with my case, the girl told me to write to them. So I sent a short letter asking them to please just make sure that my file wasn't lost and if it was I would gladly send them a new one.

So you know what they did????

They wrote me back and told me to call the 1-800 number.

How's that for a run-around!

And they sent me back my original letter AND envelope as if they didn't even want it in their trash!!!

Isn't this great?

I am past 6 months, mine is a K3, but I had to respond to your message anyway..

Priceless. Only USCIS could take so much effort to engage in such a useless and non-helpful action.

I think your experience more or less explains why we're all in the boat we're in.

Thanks for sharing. Good luck.

Everyone that I talk too I tell them it will take 6 - 8 months to get a K1 or K3 Visa. 6 months is minimum wait time, but I have seen much longer.

David - 6 - 9 months to get the VISA yes, But we are just trying to get the NOA2, which usually takes about 3 - 4 months.

Estadia - what do you mean you have to wait it out again???? They should do it now that they found it right????

It's not that you should have to get at the end of the line??????????

well they wont admit they lost it but it makes sense cuz they flat told me two times now there is nothing in our file showing we have ever been in any kind of security before aug of this year..........so next month im going to call again and ask them to expedite it once again.....i even a have a letter they wrote to our senator in may that our case was in security check and nothing could be done for us until they were finished with it but now they say at csc that never happened and no letter was ever sent lol

That place scares the hell out of me. I can't believe my future and happiness is in their hands.

Dear God PLEASE help us!!!!!

I'm SO Sorry for you! This is just in-humane.

Hopefully you get an expedite, but if not the new august filers are cool with it if you want to hang out in our thread... I wonder if anyone has ever tried to get a case expedited due to 'clinical depression' caused by USCIS (not recommending this, as you don't want them to decide that you are nuts and therefore the beneficiary could end up without support etc... but I still wonder).

Fingers are crossed that we all hear something soon. Boa sorte!!
