Finally got a response from Congresswoman

[snz1802 0]

Ok, I contacted my Congresswoman regarding my case, today marks day 135....she called me today and stated she got a response from CSC, they stated basically the same thing to her as they did to me that my case is undergoing "security checks" the only difference is they told her that it could take another 6 MONTHS to complete my case!!!! We have already waiting almost 5 months. Does this make any sense to anybody????

Has anyone had to wait this long to be approved, over a year??? Do you think I will really have to wait 6 more months????

OH NO! I am so sorry to hear this. I sincerely hope things pick up for you. Remember, it took them 137 days to approve my case. I know what you are going through right now.

I really don't believe that it will take them six more months I think the six months is a summation of time that they have already delayed and the remaining time to go.

You will be in my prayers. It is absolutely amazing how this freaking system works. Have faith and I would suggest you contact your congressperson again to see if they can somehow speed things up.

Good luck.

Sincerely,

- Vishrit

That is not good news at all. Hope it doesn't actaully take another 6 months. That would really suck!

Sorry to hear that sounds like you might have a name hit (just guessing). this IMBRA ####### doesn’t help either kind of confuses the situation

If it makes you feel any better-my congressman was told the same thing & I rec'd a letter telling me the same thing.....................we rec'd the noa2 about a month after that phone call & letter.

hope it goes quickly for you-just jeep in mind that they say it will take 6 months-but that doesn't mean that it will. my letter from USCIS said 6 months & it certainly wasn't!

I was told it is a standard response-a few vjers thought that maybe b/c I contacted my congressman I made things worse but I am glad I did it. I bet you hear something in a week or so I wish I could show you the letter but my man has everything in Dublin-sounds exactly like what happened to us. Don't worry-you will get your approval soon. Believe me-that was one of the best days of my life. I never thought an e-mail would make me so happy-but it sure did.

"It will take 6 months" seems to be the canned response from the Service Centers. They seem to say that to everyone (based on reading VJ boards). The person your congresswoman talked to probably has no idea when it will get done and only knows it is in security checks, so everytime you aske they will say 6 months.

Hi Stacy

I think it means 6 days, not 6 months....look for NOA2 in your mail box. Good luck

Well I'm glad you hear something hun. Should Jon still go to his congressperson then if this is the likely repsonce? Someone said something about a name hit. I bet I have the same thing going on since you and I are but a few days apart. I'm sorry hun. *hugs*

Stacey, our hearts go out to you and it really makes us both sad for you and mad at the Feds!

We're hoping with you that everything's resolved very soon.

Our thoughts are with you!

I'm so sorry to hear your news! I guess my hope for everyone is that when you are desperate enough (aka have had to wait a ridiculous amount of time) to contact the congressperson they will somehow move things along. I really hope something good comes of all this very, very soon for you, for calidreamer, myself, and for everyone else out there forced to wait months and months without any solution. The waiting is just getting to be so drawn out and the fact that you (USC) have absolutely no way of making things better is incredibly frustrating. You're in my thoughts and prayers!!!

I've heard of waiting up to 6 months, anything after that is absurd (as if 6 wasn't absurd enough but least they state in the site that it could take up to that much). You should keep calling and demanding action from them.
