Service request

[agreenw 0]

Based on advice from other VJers, I just tried to get a service request for my I-129F and was turned down twice. The first woman I spoke to was not very friendly, but the second man was very nice and understanding on the phone. However, they both said that because VSC is currently processing cases from May 28, 2012, my case is "within normal processing times" and they cannot issue a service request. The second guy said that he even tried to give me one but wasn't allowed to. Neither would let me speak to a tier 2 officer.

I've seen other cases on here with NOA1 dates close to mine that have already gotten service requests, and it's been just over 5 months for my case.

Any advice or suggestions? What do you have to say to speak to a tier 2 officer? Am I being too pushy and should I just wait until they start processing cases closer to my NOA1 date?

Thanks for your help.

Wait until they've had your petition about 10 months to bug them again. It should come within 5-7 months, which based on your submittal, isn't until next February or maybe later. They will take as long as they will take; there isn't anything you can do to hurry them up, so wait.

Oh....and Yes, they're backlog is that large. There is nothing special or problematic with your case; they are just that backed up. We all know this is the process; nothing has changed.

My NOA2 is right about the same time as yours. Even according to VJ, they are still processing June. My estimated approval date on this website is between Jan. 7 and 12 approximately, so I would wait til the end of January before submitting another service request.
