I went to the local office again today. The officer told me that my case has been moving around alot. Officers have been passing it around probably because their workload is too big so they want to pin it off on someone else. The last time my case was touched was January 5th. I have no idea what this means. It is at the point where it needs to be to get approved but no one wants to open it and give me the decision already... Day 194 of waiting...

I am going to try to write to my congress man today. I'll keep you guys posted

I have been waiting 6 months and it won't allow you to subit one even now.

Guess who got an approval tonight!!!!!!!!!

This guy!!!!

Congrats!! Give us details! Txt? Email? Letter?

I can't believe It, we are going to get married!!!!!!!

OMG!!!! We got approved!!!! Thank you everyone on this forum for helping through very tough days and I am praying for the rest of you to get your approvals too!

Hey guys quick question..

I could have swore I signed up for the txt and email updates but when I log in to see my case, it shows a "N" underneath txt and email notifications. I'm guessing that means no. How do I set it up again?

That sounds AWESOME sam!! I go to my local office tomorrow. I hope they just have answers for me. My fiancee is really starting to hate America and she's not even here. Not a good situation.

Yeah I know the feeling. Mine is going just as crazy but it looks like their is hope!! I wish you the best..let me know how it goes

Hey guys.

I had my appointment this morning at the syracuse satalite office. I spoke to an officer and he told me my case was touched on December 6th. He said my fiance's background check is done and that it doesn't look like I'll be getting an RFE. fingers crossed that I will recieve an approval soon. My noa 1 date is June 24th.

I got the notification too! And I'm having a meeting with my local office tomorrow morning

I just got the same automated message. Hope it means something!!!

Josh, what can you tell us about June 24th batches. I am one of those filers, and I see you are as well. Any estimates on when we should receive our noa2 or anything?

I know exactly how you felt waiting. This gives me hope.. congrats you guys deserve it!!

Sorry, but April 5th was the cut off as of september 30th so two months later it is still the cut off date? It doesn't make any sense to me. In my opinion they just give us the info they see on their screen, nothing more than that. They will update soon their processing times and we will now the ''new'' cut off date.

Yess!! Exactly!! Tell us where you are now and not where you were 3 months ago. I got so fed up today when I talked to a representative and I told her to stop reading the material off her script and give me an honest answer.

Wait, so now you have to wait six months before you can make inquiries, not five anymore? And when we get to six months will it be seven? Not a happy camper!

Yup. Once when I called, a representative told me I could file for one when I hit my 5 month Mark. I was about 4 days away when I called. Unfortunately I never got her again and all other representatives say you can't submit an inquiry until your processing time shows up on their chart. They are on april 5th now but I believe that's a lie because people in June are being approved. Anyways, even if you try to file an inquiry on the website, it doesn't go through. It says you're still in normal processing time.

I think that helped me too. I filed two inquiries, both of which were promptly refused. I logged on to my case status last night and it shows my history, a history that shows that someone picked up my inquiry maybe a day or two before I was approved. I'll have to take a screenshot of it. . .

So even though they were refused right away because you were only at 5 months and the website says 6 months, they could still see that you submitted an inquiry? I just submitted one this morning and got the refusal right away saying that I was still in normal processing time. I hope that means they can at least see it. I also scheduled an appt to go to my local office next Wednesday. Fingers crossed something changes. I was so excited to see when you got an approval because that reassurrd me they were working on all june cases and not just "special" ones.

Congrats girly!!!

Just wrote the letter to our congressman, we have no idea if this is going to change something but at least we are making everything in our power to make things move! Any other filers from Upstate NY?

I'm from utica, ny.

Same thing and it hasn't been touched since 27th. Looks like you and I are gonna be waiting buddies lol. Man these people really are starting to piss me off. When I do my job I have to complete work quickly AND efficiently and they just sit there scratch their whatever and drink coffee.

Ahhh I called 3 times today. First woman told me I could file a status inquiry at 5 months and that is in 6 days. Then I called and asked to be sent to a tier 2 officer. He was so rude and told me I had to wait 3 more months. When I said I was told by jenifer (first woman) that I can file an inquiry at 5 months, he talked to me like I was retarded and just kept repeating that I am in normal processing time. Then I called the 3rd time and got another woman named Katie. She said they are now processing April 4th petitions. I said to her that was as of September 30th and she acted like I had just told her the cure to world hunger. She was so confused aND had no idea what I was talking about. She said no where on her page does it say as of September 30th but she said she wwas looking at the offical chart on the uscis website. Then when I told her about the first call and the status inquiry at 5 months, she said she doesn't know what that first woman was saying and doesn't know where she got her information from but she was wrong. And that's when I flipped. I asked if any of them even communicate and how they can keep giving people different answers. I then said they were all a waste of a paycheck and a joke of a service. I also told the tier 2 officer to stop lying to me and saYing the petitions are processed in the order they're recieved because that's not true. All in all, I was informed that my case has not even been started yet. 5 months of waiting and they haven't even begun to process it yet. Now I regret not saying more stuff to them when I had the chance.

I'm waiting now to talk to a tier 2 officer.

Her name was jenifer if that helps

I just called uscis and they said that I can file a status inquiry on Monday when I hit 5 months. I should hear from the Texas service center within 15 days

I'm able to see my case when I log in.it hasn't been "touched" since June 26th. I still can't get into checking the status manually. I had a dream that I checked the status aND it went through but it still said initial review. Even in my dreams I can't get approved lol

Do you guys think that even thought their website is down they will still send out emails/texts to the people who are approved? If u signed up for the txts and emails of course.
