Help! Has anyone else run into this issue and what was your outcome??

My fiance and I have been waiting for over 5 months now on an NOA2 for our I-129F petition. They finally generated a service request yesterday, and today I got these responses:

From USCIS:

The required background checks for the subject case remain pending. We will render a decision as soon as the background checks are complete. If you do not receive a decision within 180 days of this inquiry, please contact csc-ncsc-followup@dhs.gov.

From USCIS via my Congresswoman's office:

The I129F case XXX XX XX XXXXX is currently under review. We cannot move forward on this case at this time as there are unresolved issues. A required thorough review must be done before a decision can be rendered. Unfortunately, we cannot speculate as to when this review process will be completed. We contacted the appropriate division/officer and let them know there was a Congressional inquiry on this case. The officer has stated we cannot move forward on the case until all unresolved issues/reviews are complete. If your constituent does not receive a decision or other notice of action from us within 60-90 days of this email, please feel free to contact us again.

We realize that your constituent may feel frustrated by delays related to his or her case. USCIS must weigh individual inconvenience against the broader concerns of public safety and national security. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) are committed to adjudicating immigration benefits in a timely, efficient manner that ensures public safety and national security.

:crying:

I pretty much feel like dying right now. The possibility of having to wait another 6 months before the petition even gets approved is KILLING me. I'm sure the issue is on the Malawi end - after having lived there I know that it takes about 100 times longer than necessary to get anything done, IF it EVER gets done. So if they are waiting for a background check from Malawi, it might be a looooong time.

Has anyone else had the same issue? How long did you finally end up waiting before the background checks were completed and you got your NOA2? So I guess there is the possibility that it could NEVER get approved?? I can't even bear the thought of that right now...oh my heart is breaking!!!
