Hi! Same here..havent heard anything yet. My PD is Dec 5, 2016. Uscis told us to wait till Dec 17. One week left and honestly i have no hope of hearing anything next week too. This is unbearable. What do you have in mind if we dont hear anything this week too? I see no way at all that might help us and this is so hopeless.

S And A,

I have a feeling your approval is around the corner. Yes it becomes so unbearable and trust me I was in those shoes. Your Day is coming ... 👍 Hang in there

Okay so we received email from senator few mins ago.  It reads as follows:

I spoke with USCIS.  The case was sent to an officer on December 8^th for additional review.  I was told to call back in 4 weeks because sometimes it can be fast, other times it can be a while.  Let’s touch base on the week of January 8th, and I’ll follow up with the liaison at USCIS. 

 

I felt myheart skipped a beat or two. I have just lost all my words. 

Can anyone help me and tell me why do theyhave to do this additional review and make us feel like criminals or something.... i am just losing myself right now.

S and A,

Not sure why they are doing additional review but keep pressing for answers. 

I cant sit here and say I know how u feel because that didn’t happen to me but I am here if you need to vent. I’m sure it’s something simple.

You could talk to a two tier and ask them to do an expedite into your case because you are beyond processing time, I was offered this by a two tier and with in two weeks had our approval, mine too sat on an officers desk for a month for review

Hello all! i hope everyone is at NVC now. I have a question if anyone in this filter finishes the NVC stage and has gone to embassy in their country yet?

NVC has received my affidavit of support (I-864) packet on Jan 5th 2018. Should I call them sometimes a week or two after to verify they receive it ? or will they email me or give me a physical mail or do i need to check online? and also once they receive it do I have to wait 30 days from the day they received it for a response before sending to embassy in my wife's home country? basically want to know how to keep checking regarding the AOS packet I sent. Thank you all in advance and good luck!!

To everyone's astonishment, i have not been approved yet. Its been 13 months and few days. My pd is Dec5 2016. My husband received a letter on 5 jan, saying they re doing an additional review on our case. This is wht they told us on dec 8 and asked us to wait till jan 8. And they sent us this letter saying your case is taking longer than normal processing time because of background investigation. This is just devastating news. Does anyone have any idea how long can be these background investigations? They have asked us to patiently wait till next notice.
