We all need prayers. Prayers r only thing that can help us right now. I m just as equally depressed as u and missing my Husband terribly. Allah is just taking a very tough exam from us. I hope its for the best.

I Hope In Shaa Allah!! may Allah (swt) bless us and may both are husband's b with us very soon iA!

No sam786 don't be worried. What time u mailed them? The best time to mail anybody is around 8:00am so that ur email is at the top when they open their inbox. If u don't get any response today email mr. Jones again tomm. Rest of them don't really respond. But I m sure u would get a response back from him. I m still waiting for any update on my case. God knows what's wrong with our luck.

I didn't get any reply today so far if I don't get it than I will email again tomorrow at 8.. I hope I get a reply soon. Pray for me please I feel so hopeless ; (:(

The background checks, security checks... are the reasons they created by themself to hold your case cuz they dont have any other reasons, I think. You need to email them as I mentioned above. Let see what I got from them few days ago.

thanks soo much.. will email them on monday (= thanks so much for the information <3<3<3 you gave me some hope.. i was close to just giving up!

I sent the emails to them

Lori.Scialabba@dhs.gov

donald.w.neufeld@uscis.dhs.gov

Rendell.jones@dhs.gov

Noticed in Mr. Rendell, the first email I sent, he replied to me "I will follow up in your inquiry". When I received a response from Senator tell me that my case pending for background check clearance and have to wait 30 days. In the next day, I emailed to Mr. Rendell again. I told him I was confused and frustrated because so many petitions filed in Sep 2013 and some in Oct 2013 has been approved. My case filed in May, 4-5 months before them but still pending just for a reason "background check clearance" ......And you know what happen? Very next day, my case status changed "Your name updated...."that is yesterday, approved today

I dont know those people listed above who would help, because I emailed to all of them. I think Mr. Rendell helped me. Back to April filers thread, LoveMyTiCo said she sent an email to Mr. Rendell and her case approved on the same day at 10:30 PM

In the email, just tell them your situation, they dont have time to read your whole story. Just focus on Date, Processing time at service center, you believed your case was outside of normal processing times...

Good luck and hope to see you in NVC April 2014 Filers

Thank you so much ♡♡♡ I actually had an expedite request put in for my case, and the response I got is this ... do u think I should still email those people?

The status of this service request is:

On 03/26/2014, you or your representative contacted USCIS concerning your I-130 to notify us that you believe your case is outside of our normal processing time. Below is a summary of what we found and how the issue has been or may be resolved.

We have placed your case on a processing hold because the required security checks remain pending. Until we receive the results of these security checks, we cannot move forward on your case. We require the results of security checks before we make a decision on any pending case.

We cannot predict when we will receive the results of these security checks. Please be assured that we will make every effort to make a decision in your case as soon as the security checks are complete.

Thank you! I followed your ways, constant emailed to USCIS Workers

I'm on the same boat with you :'( this is so crazy!

I know right this is COMPLETELY crazy & not fair in ANY WAY! I even had a d's revive request put in on March 10th.. 15 days will b over on March 25, than I'll email tsc I guess.......

But all this is completely unbelievable!!

Still nothing. PD may 6 2013. Transfer date, dec 6 .... and still nothing.... WHAT DO I DO

I called uscis and they put in a service request for me on March 10.... still didn't get anything..... This is super stressing.....

Still nothing..... at alll...10 months 3 weeks someone help me

We did two service requests, we did weekly/daily phonecalls, we asked them for specific dates if our case has been worked on, when we would hear back about something, etc. etc.

Did that help? I'm so upset it's been so long 10 months 8 days it's so sad how they do this...

Have you done any service requests or anything? If you haven't had a response from them, I would e-mail SCOPSSCATA.

. If I try to put in a request myself it doesn't work or let me get through so when I called uscis the last put in a service request for me & gave me a Confirmation number and said I should get something within March 15/17 & If not I guess I can email them

Anyone have a template I can use as to what to say/include in the email?

Thanks in advance

And thanks to jsumner86 for replying

Samreen and LoveMyTico, I am still praying for you guys don't think I forgot you after I got approval, I really mean it when I am saying I am praying for you. InshALLAH ( with GOD will ) soon you both will see your approval very soon.

Plz pray for me too!! Still nothing for me it been 10 months and 1 week- sigh... only Allah can help me .. Everyone please pray for me

We e-mailed them last week, and then they said they were waiting for a response, TSC responded to a service request saying that it they were waiting on pending hold for background checks...so then we e-mailed them again today, with a few other USCIS workers e-mail as well.. they told us it was with an officer. We then got an e-mail saying our case was approved

So I say annoy them so much they don't want to see your name anymore haha

Hey can u please help me =/ I have absolutely no idea what to do .. every time I called uscis they told me my case is in normal processing times n I just have to wait..

On Monday when I called there was a nice lady who was finally nice enough to put in a service request for me and gave me a confirmation number. I guess if I don't get anything within 15 days than I can email them with that confirmation number.. ??

I still didn't get a response as of now n my case is still in initial review ..

My priority date is May 6 2013 & I got transferred to TSC on Dec 6 2013.... my 6 days were over March 6th n I received nothing.. && as of now it's been 10 months and 1 week ......

So clearly I'm very disturbed!

Anyone PLEASE help me as to what I can do... I can't take it anymore please tell me who I can call email anything .... and if I should email someone than please can u show me an example template email that I can use...

Please someone help ! I'm so helpless!

Still no news for me -sigh- ....I can't believe this! 10 months + & STILL NOTHING!

I called uscis today & finally! For the first time the girl I spoke to put in a request/inquiry for me.. than she gave me a number and said I should receive something by 15 days... I'm not sure what I can do with the number!? Does anyone know!?

I hope I get an approval soon I miss my husband so much. Has anyone called and they put in a request or something & than gave u a number ?? Did u get an approval shortly after?

Sam and Adel, it's worth sending an email to SCOPSSCATA@dhs.gov and OLUInquiries@dhs.gov (I sent mine to SCOPS, and Cc'd OLUI.)

Politely give them the dates and facts about how your case has been handled by USCIS. At the least, you'll get a case verification email from SCOPS.

Can you please give me an example as to what to write/include in the email please thanks

i filed may 6 2013 for my husband.. transferred to tsc on dec 6.. and still got no response.............

i am completely blank now .. so hurt dont know wht to do.. its been 10 months ive been waiting and STILL NOTHING! this is playing with peoples emotions which is not nice... is tsc even working or not.. its been a full month even after my 60 days were over and i still get no response? and when i call all i get is that "ur case is in normal processing time you have to wait" ..this is all just not fair. i dont know what to do anymore at this point but just cry n cry... :'
