Thanks to all you understanding VJers out there! I really appreciate your support! I'm trying to be patient... Best of luck to all!

hi kara,

I hope you didn't find my message unsupportive.. I guess I was trying to avoid making any very declarative statements except in fun, but really, it is very likely that your petition is on someone's desk right now. I wrote a long and somewhat inacurate post about the Service Centers that might have some joy in it for you:

Experience tells me that you have every reason to be optimistic right now.

My NOA1 date is January 4th, 2006. Today, it has been 134 days since I filed my application and I have no idea what is going on. I have contacted my Congresswoman and the Senators and they all have promised to help but nothing so far. Guess what, I have been touched 6 times since NOA1 date. Don't know what these guys are doing.

The person at the 800 number doesn't know #######. I don't even know why they are employed? What function to they fill that we can't do ourselves. They are there to only give us forms information.

Vishrit,

Your situation is a bit different; your case is now "officially" overdue as of the date they posted that last update. When the posted processing date is 30 days past your NOA date, you can actually start hounding them to do something.

But, get ahold of the right people! The 1-800# is there to make people feel better (twisted logic). The people on the phone are not DHS, CIS or any other type of gov't employee--they are call center contractors hired out for (probably) the lowest bid. You would be better off tracking down the email address for CSC and getting some case specific info.

You can recontact your representatives' immigration liasons & make sure you've filled out the data release form they request and put your query in writing as well as by phone. Try faxing it to them. They *can* make an inquiry to CSC now that your case is overdue. Bear in mind that your case may be pulled for extra security screening and that if you've had an RFE, the 30-day thing is out the window.

Good luck to you; spend your energies in the most effective areas.

No worries, I didn't take offense at your post. Humor works too! Thanks for your optimism... I hope you're right that something good will happen soon.

meauxna,

Thanks for the support and information. I am doing the exact thing you have mentioned. I have sent the release form to my Congressperson's office and they have launched an enquiry.

I didn't receive any RFEs so the 30 day rule still applies. I am going to call the representative again in a week to see if they were able to find anything.

Thanks for the support.

Thanks! It's helpful knowing there are people out there who understand and who are pulling for you! Hopefully I'll be able to say something good has happened really soon!
