It sounds like the embassy doesn't really know what they're doing....or at least aren't consistent about anything. When Benny went to Frankfurt the lady up front told him that he needed to have his picture with his ears showing. But when he went to the next station the guy asked Benny which picture he wanted to submit - ears or no ears.

There can't be too many of us left in here by now.

We have had ANOTHER delay. Pete called the embassy in London to see about his interview date and they told him he needs an I-134. We don't have it because our lawyer said we didn't need it. I am sponsoring him with a co-sponsor and all of that is in the long form -- if you just look at the I-134, it would look like he wouldn't pass.

Soooo, the lawyer has made up an 1-134, emailed it to me to sign, I will send it to her to notarize and DHL to him -- then finally he can send it off to London (where it will probably get lost....at the rate we're going.) His paperwork expires in late September so this is getting scary.

Hi, Are there any other Feb filers at VSC still waiting for their NOA2? I'm at a loss here as the six month time is almost up. I called customer service to follow up on a request for status that I put in for 60 days ago and they haven't heard anything so they re-issued a request for status from VSC (and they've asked me to wait another 45 days for the VSC to respond even though I waited 60 days for the first request for status and got nothing). I mentioned to the woman on the line that I'm at the six month limit and she responded that the processing is at least up to one year for a I129F.

I don't know what to do. I've signed up on the website and I haven't seen any touches since early May when they processed a change of address. My fear is this thing is lost in the mix.

Does anyone know of any other way to contact VSC without going through that customer service line?

Thanks,

Bumping this up for you. Can you call your state congressman about this? That's what I would do unless anyone comes along with a better idea. Good luck.

I called the 800 number, and they said they cannot look into yet, because it is not past the processing date yet. The website says the "current" processing date is January 17, but that is 1.5 months old. But the guy I talked to said they can't look into it until they update the processing times.

Yeah, you're not going to get much calling the customer service line right -- they're saying the processing timeline is Jan 15 even though the site hasn't been updated in more than a month. As I mentioned, I was told by someone on the customer service line that these things can take more a year for the NOA2 - which is a little drastic I hope...

I did contact my Senator's office (McCain in AZ) and they seemed really helpful and willing to find out about my case. Taking the advice of others on this forum, I would suggest the same. It can't hurt our cause.

Good luck.

Ok, thanks. Since you mentioned McCain, I assume I should contact my U.S. Senator? I thought I had read somewhere else about contacting my state senator.

Btw, what does it mean exactly to "be in security check"?

Thanks.
