Today I officially hit 187 days from NOA1 , which is exaclty half a year or six months. I'm pissed. I have contacted my senators to no effect. Anyone have any ideas who I can yell at?

Good question. Should you find out something, please post and let us" last leggers" know. (F)

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

You can call USCIS, but they will tell you to wait 30 more days, they have March 8 as the date of cases that they are now looking at posted on their site.

OUR TIME LINE Please do a timeline it helps us all, thanks.

I dont really see that you can complain to anybody as your NOA1 is March 9th, and they are currently processing March 8th.. I realise that may people recieve their NOA2 before the processing date however I think that you need to at least wait until the processing date is later than your NOA1 date. Otherwise you are just going to get told to wait and call back after this date has passed....

I appreciate that the waiting game is a hard one to play.. just hang in there.. your time will come soon !!!..

Good luck with your journey !! :thumbs:

You can try yelling into a pillow to let off some steam, but beyond that, your patience will continue to be tested.

Sorry - Jen

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

Yes, I called them yesterday and got the blow off. I was told to call back in 60 days if I do not hear anything because of the second RFE . 60 days means 8 months of waiting just to get an answer if we even qualify for a visa ???? C' mon, this is an outrage !

Christ. Gimme a break... that date is a convenience for them, not me.

Just called them and they told me that I need to be 30 days past the date on the site. I then told them that the date has gone backwards in the past and seems to be random. They said "Yes, it will do that."

Oooookie.

We do not want numbers shoved in our face, all we want is some answers. Is that too difficult to comprehend?

Thank you for this, Callina. I believe that phone calls and Senators can sometimes be usefull, but nothing can compare to the power of God himself.

God Bless. (F)

Yes, jabree, to God anything is possible. His power goes far beyond that of senators and congressmen, and I'm so happy to see you share my conviction.

As for you, onyxrev, continue to pray and don't lose hope! Your voice will certainly be listened to! On the other hand, God also loves those men of courage who don't hesitate to fight for justice. Onyxrev could try to contact a congressman too, even if it's just to ask him to inquire on his behalf. :yes:
