I am sitting here wondering, are we the only ones waiting so long and feeling like our file is somewhere just collecting dust?

Would love to know your input on How long have you been waiting for approval of I601 waiver?

For us... July 2008 we received letter stating they had received all our RFEs and we would receive "decision or update" within 60 days!

One year later still no response. Even with telephone calls, senator request for status, emails, written letters and even "tier 2 supervisor" inquiry to VSC gave us another letter from VSC.. thank you for your letter you will receive notice from this office within 60 days... the 60 days was up a month ago. Last telephone call to USCIS; "We have no further information, go to website and send them an email and follow up with a written letter... UGHHHHHHHHH

and the senator's office...hmmm all they will do is call for us once a month

Do you think we are "outside the normal processing times"????????

09/2005 submitted I130, 08/09/2006 completed medical,case left NVC to Montreal Embassy July 7, 2006
06/07/2006 NVC CASE COMPLETE! (278 days from I130 submitted to NVC case complete)
August 2006 Interview at Montreal Embassy, need to submit I601 & I212 waiver.July 2007 submitted waivers to Montreal Embassy who forwarded to Vermont Service Center
October 2007 rec'd receipt and notification or waiver processing from VSC, April 2008 rec'd RFE for I601 July 2008 submitted RFE, and rec'd receipt, advised written decision within 60 days

July2009 requested Senator inquiry again.. response "with officer, required extra processing" if no response check back 6 months!
Dec 09 requested senator inquiry again, Jan 8 2010 requested more than "general inquiry" senator Jan 11, 2010 Senator requested supervisor
Jan 12, VSC told senator's office we wld recd notice in mail 7 - 10 days Jan 20, 2010 I601 DENIED.... letter dated Jan 14, 2010
April 2010, granted 290b approval to send to Appeal for review

hello, i know the waiting part is the suckest one, excuse my word, specially when its already waaaay past the processing time. With my case, i filed for the I-601 on Feb 2008 and it got approved on Sept 2008, so it took 7 months for it to be finally approved! And during that time, you right, you will hear nothing unless you call em to find out and yes you right again, the answer is always the same, still no further information..So i read that you guys submitted the I-601 on July 2007 and til now still no decision from them? Im sorry you guys, i think yeah its a little not normal, but maybe it is what it is that you guys just need to wait longer because its always different in every country...hope you will hear the answer soon, just keep calling them because thats the only way. Wish you guys the best luck!

The wait would be unbearable but it'll be worth it. It strengthens the love, it attaches you even more to each other, it shows how your man would do whatever it takes to be with you, that he will never give up on you because he LOVES you!! All the waits, stresses, tears, heartaches, all the miserable feelings you feel along the way will be paid off once you get what you've been hoping for...oh and WITHOUT PRAYERS? will be like trying to start a fire with water, JUST WON'T WORK!

Well guys I beat you all. My waiver was filed in November 2007. Senators, House Representative, Congressman, Ombudsman, Legal Counsel, info pass appointments, the works. I have tried everything. Now I look up into the sky and wonder if there is a person out there looking out for me. This USCIS is the worst goverment department. For publicity they will travel around the world passing out CITIZENSHIPS, but cannot process files that are in backlogs. It would be okay to at least inform us, what they are processing and how long will it take, instead of promising that they are actively working on our cases and should hear of their decision within 30 days. Can someone work out how many 30days have gone by since November 2007!!! I think they need a calculator in their offices not computers !!! God Bless all immigrants..
