Hello, Marie.

I received that same email this morning. I am the petitioner and my fiance Faxed the DS230 Part 1 and Application Statement on June 8. He called earlier this week, spoke to someone (after spending 15Euros) and they said, "It's still processing. Call back on Monday 7/1 if you have not received the email." Unfortunately this new online process will take another few weeks. So we now have to wait close to 6 weeks before even getting to schedule the interview. Bad news is our peition (which toook 10 months to the day to get) expires on Aug. 15. So he only will have a month to get the interview in, plus make travel arrangements, etc.. I wanted to be there for the interview, too, for support, but not sure now since I would have to make last-minute flights, get off work at the last minute, as well. I am so frustrated right now. My fiance did call today today after I got the email this morning, to try to plead to get an interview scheduled. He waited 25 minutes before speaing to someone (of course, they took the 15 euros first before the wait time), and was told to go to the website. They will do nothing! And now we must wait until July 15 at the earliest to try to schedule. I would love to know WHY they decided to implement a new web system during the busiest time. I work for a web software compaany and implementing a new system like this involves an expectaion of possible bugs and issues once you go live. And knowing how much traffic will be going to the site on July 15 most likely will cause long times or even possible site crashes. Why they are doing this in the "BUSY SEASON" is beyond me.

I'm sorry we (and others) are having to go through this. If I learn more I will share here. If I may ask, when does your petition expire? To give you and idea, USCIS received my petition on July 20, 2012. This process has taken over a year to when he "could" have an interview. And even that is not a gaurantee. Life can really be hard some days.

After 272 days......all I can say is FINALLY!

All of these comments have hit the nail on the head. I'm on day 201 and the past two weeks have felt more stressful than before. Call it anxiousness; call it just missing my love. We try to laugh and say, "what would we do without Skype and Whatsapp??!!" lol thank goodness for technology.

Quick question: my NOA1 is July 20, 2012. I thought I could escalate (being past the processing times), but was just told I have to wait another 30 days before i can escalate because they changed the CSC processing dates from "5 months" to now a hard date of "processing July 18, 2012" -- so technically they are saying our petition is not past due, so to speak???

Ohh the insanity!

i'm right there with ya...193 days today for me. But I will say I love the positive energy on this site. There are a lot of us so frustrated and *trying* to be patient, but it's hard. And then I read someone who is having their interview today, and I'm truly happy for them because I know it will be us soon. But please, please, Immigration Staff in the CSC....pick up the pace!! Please!

My I129F Petition was received on July 20, 2012.

On December 19, 2012 I contacted USCIS and was told I would hear via the mail within 2 weeks.

On January 7, 2013 I called back, and was told if I don't hear by Jan. 20 to call back.

When I called on January 22, 2013, I was told "it's going to be a long time." And only advice was if I don't hear in 90 days (which would be NINE MONTHS, or 275 days from NOA1), then to call back.

I am beyond frustrated, scared and my mind is racing what to do next. Would writing to congressmen and senators do any good?

Just need help and guidance and some good news...please.
