Well, we had a NOA1 date of October 19, 2007. We have been waiting, and waiting, and waiting......
Asked our Congressman to get involved. He called on May 15th and they told him it went to an officer on May 6th, "So give us 30 days"
Asked our Senator Dick Durbin to get involved and I specifically asked him to make a Congressional Inquiry. He wrote the following in an email to "Congressional Inquires - CSC" on Wednesday May 28th.
"Hello,
The Senator's consituent, John XXXXX, contacted this office regarding the I129 petition for his fiancee Ulyana XXXXX WAC08 111 11111.
At this time, Mr. XXXXX is seeking the status of the case."
signed US Senate Aide
Received a copy of an email from the CSC Congressional Inquiries Office that was sent back to my Senator on June 3rd that said: "Thank you for your inquiry. An officer reveiwed the file. The officer has determined that in order to provide a complete response including the status of the case, the officer will need to prepare a letter for the petitioner and mail it directly to the petitioner. The officer is in the process of preparing the letter. The petitioner may expect to receive the letter in approximately two weeks. The letter will provide status, as well as additional information for the petitioner - information that we do not have here in congressional unit. Will you kindly inform the petitioner that a letter is forthcoming and to look for it."
So, I am thinking I am going to receive an RFE. The file was touched on June 2nd, June 3rd and Friday June 6th and the status on the USCIS website still indicated the petition was not approved yet.
Yesterday, the 7th, I go to my post box and see a letter from USCIS. Figuring it was an RFE, I prepared myself. I opened the envelope and see that is the NOA2! Guess what day it was approved - June 2nd.....
Sure seems pretty strange how the email from the Congressional Inquirires desk goes out the day after the petition was approved indicating that a letter was forthcoming to address the status of the case.......
You wonder sometimes what is actually going on out there in California. So happy to be through with those people.
