December & January Filers

[suazo 1]

june 3, mi fiancee alexandra's bday is my 5 month date. im a nervous wreck waiting still

[~**P*E*T*Y*A**~ 2]

Hello,Everybody...I`m waiting for my NOA2 too..I`m on 138 day and I am going crazy...CSC is really disappoint so many people and I am one of them....I wish to everyone good luck And get NOA2 soon as possible!!!

[N&C 4]

Definitely. I really hope we see a flood of approvals these next 2 weeks to compensate for this slow down. I really don't see how they'll have any other option because if they don't speed this up, god help everyone who filed after us. I can't imagine how backlogged they'll become. There was a pretty significant number of petitions submitted in the Spring and the summer will only get worse for them.

Yea lets hope we see that approvals...it would be time...we already past 5 month of waitin and we are ready to spend summer as married

[Mariya and Tim 5]

Seriously, even I noticed it and I am a February filer! It's like they saw they're not behind and just gave themselves a break! Not fair! =/

[P+J 47]

I feel like just the simple fact that we have waited 5 + months should be enough for approval. This is enough of a test for me; I feel like we shouldn't have to go through the interview process!

Everyday, several times a day (even on weekends, I know it's pointless) I check USCIS and Visa Journey. I am really beginning to hate Igor and his stupid list. I get a twitch each time I see "Initial Review."

Ugh.

Yes. There is no reason why this should ever take more than 5 months. 5 months should be the absolute longest it should ever require to approve these especially for people that have a very simple petition without any complications. I'll probably start getting things lined up for my Congressman or Senator if I don't have approval in the next 2 weeks. I saw a couple December petitions got left behind at VSC. Always seems like a couple people get neglected when you look a the timelines... Terrible for them. It's very disappointing.

sometimes the more eager you are the longer it takes and drives you crazy. its best to keep yourself busy and be surprised that its already in the mail the next day.

I think we'll all feel better when we start seeing some approvals. And hopefully they'll get most of our petitions out of the way in the next 2 weeks.

You are not outside service times until you hit 6 months officially, then you can have them look at it, which can take another 30 days. Or you could then put in a service request which could take up to 60 days.This is an American Holiday weekend, which means there are probably people who have been on vacation, or who will be on vacation this coming week.

Deep breath, and prep for your interview.

According to an interview with a former adjudicator, senatorial or congressional inquiries sometimes force a pull of the file. It could cause them to just work it and get it done. However, you would need to wait the 5 months before doing this. So between 5 and 6 months I will use this resource if necessary.

There are still 8 out of 51 "left-behind" (whatever that means) at initial review from November 22nd, yes unfortunately including mine

Just have your fiance contact the senator in his state to see if they assist people with immigration petitions/cases. If so, they will probably send your fiance a waiver form or something, then they can be the liason with USCIS and give a call to the office there.
