6 Months Waiting

[Richie Rich 70]

I am a few days shy of 6 mths also . I am hoping to wear that shirt proudly within 2 wks I hope April brings us good news

We hit 6 months on the 21st. No respose to a service request yet. No reply from my senators. I didn't really expect to hear from my senators since they are constatly railing about illegal imigrants and think everybody should stay out of the US that wasn't born here.

Just have to wait.

I am over six months and have filed numerous requests, even more inquiries with my state reps and still nothing. No touches, no word other than the calling center drones who always give different information. Hoping for any day now, making plan B preparations just in case...good luck to all!

Is there an 8-month T-shirt??

It sure feels like the staff at Vermont Service Center all went on Vacation. We also hit the 6 month mark, among all the others out there waiting.

I understand there is a backlog if you're ordering this t-shirt. Normal processing times are 3 months, but due to the back-log, you can expect your t-shirt 7 months and 13 days from the date of ordering

Amazing

Hi to everybody:

in the next 2 days we are going to get to the 6 months waiting, and I was wondering who else has been waiting for that long and what is their experience and who has got their NOA2 after the 6 months timeframe.

Good Luck on everybody I hope all of us we get news soon

XOXO

Hang in there - it'll be soon! We waited 191 days. On Day 189 I officially LOST IT and cried most of day. I felt like I was going to be in limbo forever! But by the end of the week I was approved. You never know what's waiting around the corner for you! Keep the faith.

i am the same. Just reached 6 monbths today!!!!!!

but we had not called or do anything eyt. I got in a PhD program in US. and if i could not get the visa on time, my all efforts for school will be ruined as well....alone with the scholarship....

what number shall we call? he tried the +1+800 number on the USCIS site, and could not talk to any one. What number shall we call in order to TALK to any alive people?? thanks!!!

I'm right there with ya! in 2 days we should hit the 6 month mark as well

What can you do! ( said sarcastically ) I called when I hit the 5 month mark and they put in a service request to which I got the usual reply, which said

" An additional 30 days must be allowed for adjudicative review and processing before we can request expeditious processing based on an ONPT request. If the petition is still pending after 30 days, and once we receive your formal request for expeditious processing, your case will be forwarded to the applicable adjudicative unit for expeditious handling."

So here in a couple more days I hope to put in a request for expeditious processing but if luck has it they probably will have processed it by the time they get the request for expeditious processing

Is there an 8-month T-shirt??

You are not alone!

I am also in the same boat... Completed 6 months and 8 days today... No NOA2 as yet...

I called USCIS 11 days back. They said they are working on 11th sep date and we should get some reply within next 10 days. Or if we dont hear anything within 10 days then call back USCIS for the update.

I called USCIS again yesterday. The lady told me that they are still working on 11th sep date.

I dont know why they have stuck on 11th sep only....

I wanna ask you guys - Since my fiance (petitioner) lives far away from Texas so she cant go to their US office. So, if i (benefeciary from india) go to the US embassy in india for the update, will they entertain me??? Will tell me status of my application??? I dont think they will, but still i am asking your vews in this regard....

wow, I feel it for all of you. They must be bombarded with petitions or maybe our government is on furlough. The info I received is it is averaging 6-8 months for a fiancee visa. Good luck to you all and hang in there. I know it is very hard...

[jrmejia 31]

You have inspired me...

Best wishes to all of you. I kind of wish VSC would actually send those of you who've waited 6+ months a t-shirt.

We are in our 6months and 5days (185days) since we received our NOA1. My fiance called them last March 25 and they said to wait another 13days since they are processing Sep. 11. If we won't receive any feedback by then we have to call them back as what they said. Is that all they can say to call back? We have been waiting for so long...
