Application still pending 9 months after interview. Please help!

[dare448 2]

Hello guys! I am starting this thread for a friend who doesn't have an account on here. She came to me asking for advice but I really don't know what to tell her so here I am, asking you all in hopes that someone here can give some advice on what to do with her case.

So this friend of mine applied for I-130 (concurrent filing with I-485) for her husband August of last year. They were interviewed October 2012 but unfortunately, they were not approved on the spot (whatever the reason is, I don't know). She asked the IO if there was something wrong with their application and the IO said, everything was fine, they just need more information from them. Several days later, they received a letter saying that if they don't get an update about their case in 91 days, they would have to schedule for an infopass.

They have been to three (3) infopass since February yet still, nothing has happened. During their last visit, they were told that their application is "probably" still on the IO's desk since no update since the interview has been reported nor made. Infopass personnel advised them to write the IO requesting for an update about the case.

Has someone ever experienced this before? If so, are there any sample letters out there that can guide them what and what not to write to have the IO expedite his decision on their case?

Thank you so much! Comments, tips, suggestions are highly appreciated.

They are in in-country AP and there is nothing they can do. Make sure they are getting their mail for second interview notices and the like.

So meaning they'll just have to wait?

I asked her if they've received any notices about second interview and no, they haven't.

they could go back in, on another infopass appointment,

and

ask to speak to the I-130 unit supervisor human.

anyone behind the glass is useless, fwiw.
