SERVICE REQUEST...finally! Now what?

[menchandfrank 0]

Happy New Year to all of you here at VJ!! Wishing you much happiness, success, prosperity and LOVE in 2013!

Here's an update:

On Wednesday, I called the USCIS and I was told that today makes 4 days PAST THE NORMAL processing time!! SO....

I asked them for a SERVICE REQUEST and obtained a Referral ID number.

I was told that within 15 days, the California Service Center should be contacting me in regards to my petition. They will review my petition and advise me

of any questions or concerns that they might have (I thought they were already doing this the past 6 months...)

If I don't hear from them in 30 days, I need to call the USCIS back.

How many of you are at a similar point as we are? Do any of you have any suggestions, advice or concerns regarding this part of our petition process? Please We Need Help....

For those of you who have experienced having a SERVICE REQUEST made and receiving a Referral ID...did that expedite your petition approval?? Or prolong it?

Did anyone have their petition denied after doing a SERVICE REQUEST?

Thank you for your input and I pray that we all continue to have patience.

When did you get your NOA1? And how long did you actually wait before you called CSC? My NOA1 was 8/7/12. I'm wondering when I should call. I know many people have yet to be approved before my NOA1 date but I want to use every resource at my disposal to get my wife's case processed.
