AUGUST I-129F FILERS UNDER CSC

[Geico 0]

APPROVED TODAY :D I called with the RFE trick, he told he it was approved today - it just hasnt hit the system yet

I gasped when he told me, he completely shocked me. I was just expecting to hear "a few more weeks probably". He said "acctually, it was approved today".

I dont think I could have taken any more waiting

I called up Mary and told her that I called the CSC, that the guy couldnt find the case. I made it sound worse then it was. And then I said that he found it and we are approved I had her going for a moment there.

WOOT!! Congratulations!!!! This is great news!

(Don't forget to update your timeline when you come down off the ceiling! )

Congratulations Jon and Mary!!! :dance:

Congrats. I guess CSC is back at work and it seems like they are working on august right now. I called using the RFE trick and I talked to a very nice gentleman and he told me that my case was sent to one of the officers on the 23rd and its being looked at so hopefully i'll hear something by next week go CSC.

Oh Jon that is excellent news. I'm hoping this brings some good news for me because we received notices on the same day. I'm getting so depressed looking at the case update site. Well done though! I'm so pleased for you

To all experts here: Should I send my fiancee all the card that she has sent to me? I am going to meet her in few weeks. I can easily take them with me,

Another august filer approved.

Congratulations Melrose Plant!!!

Thank you very much, I was quite shocked. I think that's the trick. Don't go online for a while. (Had no choice--no internet service where I am working out of town)

Heh! Well the real trick is to get your file on someone's desk. Don't suppose you'd want to share your secret?

I am going to be very forthcoming about my actions. I don't know whether any of this made any difference, you can draw your own conclusions.

Two weeks ago, I talked with my lawyer, and he said it's been long enough that he encouraged me to get congressional involvement. I then called my State Representative, who is somewhere between an acquaintance and a friend. He gave me a contact with my U.S. Senator. I called the Senator's office, and made a request for an inquiry. The staff person was very bureaucratic with me, took my name, my finacee's name, and our case number. She said she would email USCIS because they weren't answering their phones lately. I was a little disappointed, but was polite and said thank you for your help.

Then my lawyer had a meeting with USCIS at the local office in Des Moines, and he found out that our case was OK, that there was nothing amiss, but that I would have to wait at least another month or two for approval. This meeting was on Jan. 18.

After that, I was pi$$ed. I called the Senator's office back and asked them what they had found. They told me exactly the same story, that I would have to wait. I voiced my dissatisfaction with USCIS, that I had paid triple the filing fee and gotten worse service. But in the end, I said that was fine, I understood there was a backlog, and I was willing to wait my turn for approval. But I made a request that when approval came, that CSC send the file in a timely fashion to NVC, just like the VSC people get. The second time I called the staff were a lot more friendly and seemed more willing to help me.

In the meantime, we have gotten approval, 9 days after the initial congressional inquiry. I honestly don't know if our number was up anyway. The real truth will be told when we see how long it takes for NVC to get our file. I will be continuing to talk with my Senator's office.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Luky5, Mox, and Geico and everybody: I filled on 8/15 and seems like I am in the processing time frame. Should I call USCIS as well? I did call them couple of weeks ago. That's why, I am little hesitant to call again but I can barely wait any longer. What do you guys think?
